HCC’s Blueprint for Our Community’s Future.In order to continue to serve our community, the institution must make significant investments in facilities, technology and operational efficiencies. Our goal is to provide modern and technologically advanced facilities that enable our students to acquire the academic preparation and workforce skills necessary to compete at the highest level in the global marketplace. HCC educates and trains over 75,000 students each semester, a 40% increase in the past five years. The college has expanded its infrastructure to serve more students without increasing administrative overhead substantially, while increasing classroom efficiency to 92%. Today, most of our classrooms are at capacity. This situation must be addressed in order to serve more students and businesses that rely on HCC.

Facilities 2012 Bond Program The 2012 bond program will provide each HCC college with new or renovated facilities and the technology required to meet student needs, especially in high-demand areas such as health sciences, as well as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.

HCC’s immediate needs of $425 million are included in the 2012 Bond program. What does it mean?• Total maximum expected tax increase is approximately 2 cents• Average annual impact for a $150,000 valued home is $30.92, based on current market rates• Adds $1 million to operating budget immediately and annually• HCC’s tax rate is 2x lower than San Jacinto College and 20% lower than Lone Star College Why now?• The institution is close to capacity• Demographic projections of students shows a significant growth in the near future• HCC’s Coleman College for Health Sciences was originally built to accommodate 1,500 students, but now serves 3,500• Requires 3 years to build necessary infrastructure to support needs• Increasing cost of college and need of students for a high quality, economical option• Adds $1 billion to local economy• Current skilled labor deficits in Houston Why HCC?• Bond rating of AA+• HCC lowered taxes in 2007, 2008, and 2009• Increased efficiencies and effective use of tax dollars• Saved over $79 million in utility costs during the past 5 years• HCC has also expanded its entrepreneurial efforts which has enabled us to increase non-tax revenues in order to off-set tuition Visit hccs.edu/community to learn more about our plans for the future.
