I.C. STUDENT / FACULTY / STAFF INVOLVEMENT The consultants met with PCC’s Vice President of Administration and Finance, Director of Facilities

Services, and the respective Campus Deans in assessing the present facilities for both the East

Campus and the West Campus of Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC) and discussed

planned construction projects. The consultants also drew from past direct involvement with the East

Campus’ Program Plan efforts in late winter/early spring of 2010, and direct involvement with the

West Campus’ Facility Audit, currently being produced at this writing, as well as site design and

documents for SCCC West produced in spring/summer of 2009. During these periods, the

consultants met with numerous faculty members and staff in evaluating program and building needs

for respective academic program offerings. For the SCCC East Campus, this has resulted in the

April 2010 publishing of the Program Plan for a new campus facility.

I.D. COMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT The consultants’ past direct involvement with the SCCC West Campus included phone interviews

and a meeting with the County of Montezuma Planning Department to ascertain site development

guidelines proposed for the county’s updated zoning ordinance documents, during the period leading

up to the merger in 2009. The Mancos Fire Protection District Office and Colorado Department of

Transportation were also consulted for guidelines concerning the SCCC West property.

I.E. ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT

Pueblo Community College and the SCCC West Campus Dean have reviewed information with the

consultants regarding the status of the property with the Bureau of Land Management in determining

appropriate site use.

I.F. OVERVIEW OF CONCLUSIONS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF THE MASTER PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE AND SCCC WEST SITE Southwest Colorado Community College, a division of Pueblo Community College At this writing, in consideration of the respective conclusions reached during the reporting period of

this Facilities Master Plan for both SCCC campus sites, PCC is reviewing the consolidating of

administrative expenses and resources being assigned to SCCC, not specific to either East or West

INTRODUCTION / PLANNING PROCESS

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section I., Page 2

campus sites, in creating a more regional focus. This direction is to solidify and support SCCC’s

program strengths in their vocational, business and technology offerings, and assure delivery of

resources to the classroom in service to their five-county region service area. More information on

this development is covered in Sections II.B., V., and VIII.

SCCC East Site (also referred to as SCCC East Campus) In the baseline year Fall 2009, 278 FTE students received instruction at the SCCC East Campus,

housed in leased space at the Commons Building. With a focus on providing specific health

professions and first responder programs relative to their location and the resort-style economy,

modest growth is projected for Fall 2014, that 296 FTE students will be receiving instruction at the

SCCC East Campus – an increase of nearly 6.5%. The space needs analysis shows the campus is

operating in space at over 36% deficiency to meet existing enrollment and nearly 48% deficiency for

target projections for Fall 2014. As the campus is located in a downtown landlocked leased building,

building inventory, student and faculty amenities, and appropriate utility infrastructure for the

academic programs are very limited or inadequate, with additional life safety concerns, which have

directly impacted building use and space availability. The base year of Fall 2009 revealed low room

use on average, student station occupancy (SSO) utilization of academic spaces, namely 29% for

classroom use, and 40% for teaching laboratory use, which are both below the state guideline

targets of 68% and 80% respectively. Room capacity studies identified 33% on average use for the

larger classroom (21-30 capacity), while the larger teaching laboratory space (21-30 capacity)

reported over target guideline utilization at 88%. The space needs analysis revealed a small surplus

in academic space, 464 ASF, but a relatively large deficit in academic support space at (3,888) ASF,

as well as a (710) ASF deficit in auxiliary functions, translating into an overall campus deficit of

(4,134) ASF for Fall of 2009, and a further overall campus deficit of (5,735) ASF for Fall of 2014. As

the present lease is due to expire June of 2012, the College has been reviewing their lease options.

The priority physical response to the College’s mission, vision, space needs analysis, and utilization

for this site will focus on acquiring additional leased space within the existing building and associated

parking within the Master Plan period. Improving the existing physical space to meet life safety

criteria and likewise utilization for academic space are critical, particularly to overall campus safety

and operations. A program plan to address physical needs in the framework of revised operations to

include developing a more robust online delivery program in lieu of physical additions, will be

likewise critical for identifying needs beyond the planning period, taking into account the present

three year lease agreement and future outreach strategies for the SCCC East Site.

SCCC West Site (also referred to as SCCC West Campus) In the baseline year Fall 2009, 168 FTE students received instruction at the SCCC West Campus.

With an outreach focus on career tech-emphasis for concurrent enrollment program offerings relative

to their rural location, relative large growth is projected for Fall 2014, that 336 FTE students will be

receiving instruction – an increase of 100%. The current large 40 acre rural site is able to offer a

wide variety of programs, from general education transfer courses, to mining, oil and gas

exploration, welding, nurse aide, cosmetology and first responder programs. The base year of Fall

2009, following the merger, revealed low room use, low utilization overall with 31% classroom

building use and even lower 14% teaching laboratory, though one building, Building ‘A’ reported over

target (68%) utilizations at 75% and 87% for its two classrooms, Room A2 and A1. Utilizations for

room capacity among the four active academic building showed low utilizations for most of the

classrooms generally low at 38% average, excepting one room with 21-30 capacity showing the

highest use at 75%. Room capacity for teaching laboratory spaces was likewise low, with only 16%

utilization average for 20 and under capacity, whose room size averages 3,604 ASF; this number

includes the traditional high bay spaces. Space needs analysis reported an overall surplus of 32,822

ASF building space, which is clearly available for future growth, and reduced to 18,334 ASF for Fall

of 2014. Documented deficits in Fall of 2009 included: 412 ASF for Library/Resource space, 83 ASF

for Assembly / Exhibit space, and 321 ASF for other Administrative space. The physical response to

the College’s mission, vision, space needs analysis and utilization studies will focus on providing life

safety upgrades to building, meeting the concerns of code-compliant site and building accessibility,

problematic soil movement, and building maintenance. These are high priorities with the Facilities

Master Plan. Future plans beyond the planning period will need to study the impact of anticipated

growth for the SCCC West Site, particularly re-evaluating the life safety and utilization of academic,

academic support, administrative and auxiliary spaces, in addition to the impacts on current campus-

wide infrastructure and parking. These plans will need to consider providing adequately sized

spaces to support larger occupant loads, particularly in response to the SCCC strategic planning and

consolidation of resources.

The Master Plan for Pueblo Community College will have a profound impact for Southwest Colorado

Community College. As both the SCCC East Campus and the SCCC West Campus are in a

transitioning phase in their roles within SCCC as well as with the SCCC Pagosa Springs site, the

Master Plan will serve to guide program planning and facility physical changes. SCCC will be

involved in the process of reviewing, challenging and updating the plan to meet needs as each site’s

demographics, programs, and facilities evolve. The Master Plan is intended to assure goals and

physical developments are aligned with Pueblo Community College’s mission and vision statements.

II. PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – GENERAL II.A. INSTITUTION ROLE, MISSION AND VISION Refer to Section II.A., “Institution Role”, Volume 1.

MISSION Pueblo Community College’s mission is to foster higher learning, student success, and service to our

communities. VISION Pueblo Community College is a premier teaching institution providing students assured success

pathways to relevant and progressive career, transfer, and personal growth opportunities. II.B. HISTORY Note: The history of Pueblo Community College is being included in this narrative for context, followed by narratives specific to each SCCC Site. Pueblo Community College traces its origins to 1933 when Southern Colorado Junior College was

incorporated. In 1937, local citizens made a commitment to support the institution with county taxes

and organized the Pueblo County Junior College district; and the institution was renamed Pueblo

Junior College.

The Pueblo Junior College District was dissolved in 1961, and in 1963 Colorado’s General Assembly

enacted legislation to change the status of Pueblo Junior college to a four-year, degree-granting

institution governed by the Board of Trustees for State Colleges. The college named Southern

Colorado State College (SCSC), offered educational programs at two campuses, including the

Orman Avenue campus (the current Pueblo Campus) and the Belmont Campus located at the

northern end of Pueblo (Colorado State University-Pueblo).

The Southern Colorado Junior College administration, community and state agencies saw the need

for additional secondary, post secondary, and adult vocational training in the southern Colorado

area. Most of the Orman campus buildings had a vocational orientation, and the decision to

revitalize the campus as a vocational-technical training center was based on both past programs and

functional accommodations. In 1974, Southern Colorado State College gave the name College for

Community Services and Career Education to the vocational activities located on the Orman

Campus.

Southern Colorado Junior College was granted university status (University of Southern Colorado) in

1975, when the Colorado General Assembly passed a bill clarifying legislation that would allow the

University of Southern Colorado to operate the College for Community Services and Career

Education as a technical community college. This change was made to enable the programs to be

eligible for state and federal vocational funds within the state’s Community college and Vocational

System.

In 1978, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 81 which transferred governance of the

University of Southern Colorado from the Trustees of State Colleges and University Consortium to

the State Board of Agriculture, effective July 1, 1978. Senate Bill 81 also separated the institution

into two autonomous entities. The bill stipulated that a two-year technical college (Pueblo Vocational

Community College) was to be separated from the University of Southern Colorado and transferred

to the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) no later than

July 1, 1980. Pueblo Vocational Community College became a State System Community College

Page 15: VOLUME 3: SOUTHWEST COLORADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE – A ... Facilit… · Bryan Crawford, Director of Computer Services ... Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West

PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW - GENERAL

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section II., Page 5

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

on July 1, 1979. On October 29, 1979 the College was granted NCA accreditation at the associate

degree-granting level.

On July 1, 1982 the name was officially changed to Pueblo Community College, and the College

began moving towards becoming a comprehensive community college. The mission of the

Community Colleges of Colorado system is “to offer a broad range of general, personal, vocational,

and technical education programs to fill the occupational needs of youth and adults in technical and

vocational fields, to provide two-year transfer educational programs to quality students for admission

to the junior year at other colleges and universities, and to provide a broad range of programs of

personal and vocational education for adults”. With this mission in place, Pueblo Community

College had full support when the college moved from being a vocational school to become a

comprehensive community college that emphasized both vocational and transfer degree programs.

Upon the recommendation of the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education,

the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) assigned to Pueblo Community College, in

February 1988, a five-county service area, that included the counties of Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata,

Montezuma and San Juan. Also serving these counties were Fort Lewis College (FLC), a public

liberal arts baccalaureate institution based in Durango, and San Juan Technical College (SJTC), a

provider of vocational training at the certificate level based in Cortez/Mancos. At the time, Pueblo

Community College entered into an agreement with San Juan Basin Technical School (SJBTS) and

the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE): “… ‘to develop and deliver the necessary academic support courses and the ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing and electronic programs.’ ”. This established a College presence in Cortez/Mancos area, Colorado

and formed the Southwest Center, which later added degree programs in Durango, Colorado.

General education courses were offered at Cortez/Mancos for the students who were preparing to

get into the second level of the Nursing Program, and nursing courses were offered in

Cortez/Mancos and Durango. Because PCC was the only regionally accredited institution of higher

education offering general education courses in the five-county area, La Plata County students

began enrolling in courses to prepare for transfer to a four-year college, and the Durango campus

steadily grew. When the Cortez/Mancos site started in Spring of 1988, the FTE was 36.33, and the

Fall FTE was 44.5. Since that time, the Cortez/Mancos site FTE has experienced a fluctuation in

enrollment, but nonetheless steady growth.

In July of 2009, a historic merger between PCC and SJTC upon recommendation of the State Board

created Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC), with the Durango site indentified as the

East Campus, and the Mancos site as the West Campus. Growth is expected with the fact that PCC

can now offer a variety of vocational offerings. A new Cosmetology program was recently

introduced at the Mancos site in the Spring of 2010.

The merger brought about a realignment of programs, and afforded the SCCC East campus a

variety of certificate and degree offerings: Health fields such as Nursing, Radiologic Technology,

and Respiratory Care, as well as a Police Officer Selection Test (POST) Certified Law Enforcement

Academy, transfer degrees that include an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of

General Studies with an emphasis area in Criminal Justice, Business Management, and Early

Childhood Education, the second year of the Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical

Services, which will prepare students for jobs that require certification as an advanced paramedic.

The merger’s impact for the SCCC West campus has brought a variety of program offerings as well:

Certified Nurse Aide, Cosmetology, transfer degrees including an Associate of Arts, Associate of

Science and Associate of General Studies. The campus intends to build a training base for

specialized computer skills.

The next phase for Pueblo Community College / Southwest Colorado Community College’s history is

to examine the current structures of each campus site to determine best use and fit for Academic

programs and strategies to offset Physical Plant impairments, as reported by the College during this

Master Plan reporting period. With mounting operational costs, the consolidation of resources and

administrative expenses will benefit students and operations. SCCC will continue to work with PCC

for expanded and new program development and online offerings. Continuation of discussions and

collaborative efforts with Fort Lewis College is vital to assure that student and transcript transfer to

FLC is seamless. Outreach through Concurrent Enrollment programs with area high school students

will provide college coursework and special training towards certificate and future employment.

Finally, SCCC will plan to explore opportunities to offer non-credit continuing education courses and

seminars for local area residents, including those residents in outlying county regions.

Author’s note: Appendices A., B., C., D., E., and F. address the elements of utilization, building inventory, enrollment trends for both campus sites, as well as former program plan study for SCCC East Site, and are found throughout this document.

III.B. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT POLICIES AFFECTING FACILITIES i. Admissions Refer to Part II.D., under Volume I for admission policies.

ii. Housing There is no housing policy, as the SCCC East Campus is a commuter campus and has no housing.

iii. Student Services SCCC East is supported by the Student Services Division at the Pueblo Campus, although SCCC

East campus does provide some student services including admissions, financial aid, and advising

through their Go!Zone, one-stop enrollment center and bookstore.

iv. Campus Parking Parking is provided under the lease agreement with the Commons Building on a count per square

footage of leased space. Parking is provided as an on-site parking lot; tenants are provided parking

stickers and lot monitoring for the building. SCCC East has approximately 36 assigned spaces. The

College is presently working with the leasing management of the Commons Building to acquire

additional space. It has been reported that there have been recent conflicts with neighboring

buildings over parking, which is common throughout the central business district in Durango.

As part of the campus parking evaluation, the consultants have prepared the “Student on Campus”

chart (see Appendix A.) based on Fall 2009 headcount. This study was also factored into the

preparation of the space utilization analyses, covered in Section IV.C. Based on this study, the

average peak period of student building use over the course of the week occurred at 10 AM with an

average count of 77 students over the week and a peak population of 122. With the addition of staff

(headcount information covered in Section III.F), it appears that the striped parking is insufficient,

demonstrating a need of an additional 106 spaces minimum (based on a total peak population of

142). Furthermore, the data excludes those groups not represented in FTE enrollment, so the level

of parking insufficiency may be more significant than shown here.

v. Athletics SCCC East does not have, nor is it affiliated with, any sports teams.

vi. Libraries The SCCC East Campus has access to the PCC Southwest Campus Library system through online

databases, with physical resources located at Cortez Public Library, along with online access to all

PCC Campuses, and regional library databases with Cortez Public Library, Durango Public Library,

Mancos Public Library and the John F. Reed Library at Fort Lewis College.

vii. Class Scheduling With regard to scheduling for classrooms and laboratory facilities at the SCCC East Campus, the

Campus Dean works with the on-site Director of Student and Academic Services Director. The

Dean reports to the President of PCC. viii. Facilities Maintenance and Annual Operations, Maintenance and Utility Costs Limited maintenance services – light bulb replacement, restroom maintenance, and necessary

building repairs – are provided for the SCCC East Campus by The Commons Building under their

lease agreement. Repairs are reported by the College to be slow in completing. No SCCC staff is

specifically assigned for maintenance responsibilities.

As maintenance and utilities are paid through the lease agreement, no information on costs, nor cost

per student FTE is available.

ix. Relevant Institutional Space Allocation Guidelines The consultants referred to several sources for guidelines used in this Master Plan in ascertaining

the College’s projections, covered in detail in Section IV.C. The Colorado Community College

System Office recently established space utilization guidelines in late Spring of 2010. The Colorado

Department of Higher Education likewise has set standards for higher education facilities. Renown

planning industry leader, the Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI)

publishes planning guidelines for institutions of higher education. Furthermore, the consultants

applied space guidelines based on existing building use in relevant specific situations. Guidelines

are cited in the appropriate sections under Section IV.C.

III.C. ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC PLANS, INSTITUTIONAL ROLE, MISSION AND VISION, TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLANS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT STRATEGIC PLANNING IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN

This section addresses both SCCC East and SCCC West Campuses. Academic Plans Pueblo Community College continually engages in a comprehensive academic planning process.

Committees involved in this planning process review and evaluate existing programs for their

viability or potential removal, as well as newly proposed programs. These committees will be

actively reviewing the Facilities Master Plan to guide decisions on academic plans to determine the

appropriate physical resources to support these plans.

The educational programs are under the overall supervision of the Vice President of Learning and

the Deans of Arts and Sciences, Business and Technology, and Health Professions. Strategic Planning Pueblo Community College participates in the Academic Quality Improvement Program of the Higher

Learning Commission (AQIP), a comprehensive and self evaluation process, focusing on enhancing

operations of the College through quality improvement. In 2007, as an AQIP action, the College put

into place a strategic planning model intended to conduct effective, consistent, and continuous

strategic planning into the future. Their most current strategic plan for 2008-2012 (see Appendix A

in Volume 1) identified six strategic objectives:

• Offer all students a mentored and focused pathway to success to ensure they graduate with

relevant 21st-

century skills.

• Support and engage the “whole student” through assured success strategies in learning,

leadership, and life skills.

• Become a recognized leader in higher education programs and curricula.

• Strengthen the regional workforce to contribute to economic growth and vitality in southern

Colorado. (See Section II.J. in Volume 1 with regard to Programs addressing this objective.)

• Foster professional development and leadership opportunities for all employees.

• Implement state-of-the-art continuous improvement processes at both the strategic and daily

work flow levels.

The Facilities Master Plan has the ability to work in concert with the Strategic Plan process, and

participants involved in both planning processes can assure goals are in alignment.

CCCS Strategic Plan The CCCS Strategic Plan identifies five key goals addressing student access, success, and

operational excellence, three of which are highlighted within this Facilities Master Plan:

• Student Access Goal: “All Coloradoans shall have access to comprehensive community

college educational programs.” (Section II.G. in Volume 1, Enrollment: Projections,

Demographics)

• Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado businesses and communities shall be met

through the development of a highly skilled workforce.” (Section II.J. in Volume 1, Institution’s

Programs in response to Service Area Economy)

• Student Success Goal: “Colorado students shall have seamless opportunities to transition

from high school into college and from two-year institutions into four-year institutions.”

(Section II.I. in Volume 1, Student Performance)

Colorado EPP and Office of the State Architect HPCP

In July of 2009, the State of Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration State Purchasing

Office published the document “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP) which adopted the

EPP policy guidance for the procurement of sustainable commodities and services. The policy

guidance is intended to facilitate adoption of best environmental practices consistent with Federally-

adopted environmental purchasing trends. One of the mandates in this policy is a requirement for all

new construction over 5,000 square feet among State Buildings’ capital construction projects to

achieve LEED Gold status per the Office of the State Architect’s High Performance

Certification Program (HPCP)*. In consideration of this requirement, Pueblo Community College

must anticipate the mark up associated with commissioning for project construction costs.

Commissioning agents require additional fees that must be incorporated into a project budget,

however the Owner must keep in mind that Commissioning is an important part of the LEED process

in that it ensures that greater cost savings to the Owner as a result of energy-efficiency are

achieved.

*Source: Policy document OSA-HPCP, originally published September 1, 2007, updated February of 2010.

Further descriptions of the design criteria and cost impact with LEED Gold are covered under

Sections V.E. and VIII.E., Campus Plans and Supporting Data.

Technology Master Plan The vigilant re-evaluation of Pueblo Community College’s Information Technology Master Plan has

become increasingly important as technology changes and the demands of business and industry

increase, particularly with the demands of upgrades at all campuses. The college intends to remain

state-of-the-art in communication techniques, administrative management tools, alternative delivery

methods (classroom or remote), networking, bandwidth and video-conferencing capabilities. PCC’s

IT Department remains committed to supporting the mission and goals of PCC’s Information

Technology Master Plan, which was developed in 2001, reviewed in 2005, and revised in 2007, and

remains effective through the end of the 2010-2011 academic year.

At this writing, the College’s Information Technology Services recently unveiled PCC’s new five year

Information Technology Master Plan 2011 - 2015, dated December, 2010, attached to this Facilities

Master Plan (Refer to Appendix B. in Volume 1). The Plan cites the pressing need of committing

budget for staffing and remaining state-of-the-art with its technology infrastructure, emphasizing

increased access to information and security. It is important to note that staffing guidelines identified

in the Technology Master Plan are drawn from general industry standards that should act in

conjunction with those set by peer institutions.

As a course of action with this Facility Master Plan, discussions involving IT planning with the

appropriate college personnel and user groups and A/E design teams should be integrated

throughout the planning, design, pre-construction and construction stages of any building project.

Built into these discussions will be review of security and backup systems and construction

scheduling coordination.

III.E. ENROLLMENT SIZE AND DISTRIBUTION DATA Enrollment information and FTE generation for both SCCC East and West campuses were covered

in depth in the “Program Plan for Southwest Colorado Community College – East Campus A

Division of Pueblo Community College”, published in spring of 2010 by Stephen Hall, Architect. For

purposes of this Facilities Master Plan document, the enrollment information for both SCCC

campuses will be presented at both respective enrollment narratives i.e. Sections III.E and VI.E.

Population areas in the five county service area for both SCCC Campuses include: Archuleta

County, Dolores County, La Plata County, Montezuma County, and San Juan County. As Census

2010 data was made publicly available in early 2011, population forecasting was taken from the

2010 Census information as well as the population forecast by the Colorado Demography Office:

FTE Enrollment Both SCCC East Campus’ and SCCC West campus’ enrollment trends, as well as the overall PCC

campus populations and the Online and Inmate populations are documented in the following chart

and graph. It is important to note that the current database system Banner was implemented in Fall

of 2006; prior to that time SIS was the database system. Given the difference in database systems

and to maintain reporting consistency, the past four years of Semester FTE are tracked (Fall 2006 –

Fall 2009) to compare with projections up to 2014. In addition, the FTEs represented in this

Facilities Master Plan reflect the “Course Campus FTE”; they are not “Priority Campus” FTE which

include the online FTEs. SCCC East’s enrollment projections show a marginal but steady increase,

reflected in anticipated economic recovery for the five county region and its anticipated service area

population increase of 2.04% average annual percentage change in the master plan period. Of

particular note is the overall increase in population in the Census Data between years 2000 and

2010, as the five county region saw an average jump of 16.65%, reflected in the State of Colorado’s

increase of 16.92%. San Juan, Archuleta, and La Plata Counties were the greatest beneficiaries,

with increases of 25.27%, 22.09% and 16.82% respectively. Appendix C. addresses historic FTE

trends of the Southwest Center operation in Durango, as well as fairly stable (though no pronounced

growth) population trends among the local school districts. Furthermore, population change by

individual town indicated that the city of Durango saw an increase of 21.30% between years 2000

and 2010, and a projected population increase between 2010 through 2020 of 27%, underscoring

the need for SCCC East to anticipate growth.

CCCS Strategic Plan – Key Performance Measures: Ages 14 – 64 In addition to the study of the Five Counties’ overall population trend line average increase of 2.04%

increase for the master plan period, average data from the Census Bureau was collected on the age

range of 14 – 64, the target age range for the community college student. The low end of this age

range factors in SCCC East’s Concurrent Enrollment High School programs; in Fall 2009, concurrent

enrollment contributed 3.4 Semester FTE. The next graph studies the population for this age group

in the subject counties and the FTE enrollments at the SCCC East campus – historic and projected

into 2014. Trend lines superimposed on both graphs appear to be unparallel, suggesting that there

is a future market of students, based on the growth of the 14 – 64 age group anticipated for the Five

Counties in contrast to SCCC East’s enrollment rate. County growth trends appear to outpace SCCC

East’s anticipated enrollment.

SCCC East Campus Basic Enrollment Data - Headcount Note: See Volume 1, Section II.G. for PCC Online and Corrections enrollments.

Comparisons of the combined headcount figures for the East Campus and the West Campus are

being made with those of the former Southwest Center drawn from the 2006 Basic Enrollment Data

(Fall of 2005) as they share the same service areas. Comparisons indicate the following:

Overall enrollment for both SCCC campuses suggests a growth of 56% over SWC (2006 projections indicated 10% growth);

The average percentage of full-time students showed a decrease from the Southwest Center figure

of 73.4% in 2005 to an average of 33.5%. This marked contrast suggests the adjustment in

dynamics with concurrent enrollment students (those attending both college and high school);

Female students continue to make up the majority of students, with the exception of the West

Campus. The resultant disparity between male students decreased over this time period by 16%. It

is important to distinguish that the Female to Male ratio at Durango is almost 2:1, while the Female

to Male ratio at Mancos is 1:1.33;

Students attending at both East/West campuses are still overwhelmingly resident status, though the

current West Campus suggests a 3:1 ratio compared to the 2005 overall Southwest Center having a

near 4:1 ratio;

Ethnicity continues to show similar make-up, with White-Non-Hispanics and American Indian/

Alaskan Natives comprising the majority of students;

The average age of the East/West Campus student is 26.8, down from 27.9 in Fall of 2005. SCCC

East’s continued efforts to recruit concurrent enrollment (CHE) students reflect the slight shift in

demographic patterns from student populations in the 2006 Institutional Data. The average age for

SCCC West at 25.7 is the youngest of all PCC campuses;

The top resident students’ zip codes suggest residents from the same zip codes from 2005 are

attending.

The following tables and graphs, “Student Demographics” and “SCCC East Campus Student

Resident Demographic Data” by Zip Code provide the headcount makeup of enrolled students. In

the “Student Demographics” table, the Fall 2005 SWC enrollment figures are being presented to

compare demographic % breakdown.

The zip code information and map suggested in Fall 2009, three in four FTE students lived within 20

miles of the SCCC East Campus, the number mostly concentrated in La Plata County; the remaining

four counties of the five-county service area are represented as smaller percentages of headcount.

The community of Bayfield is included among the top headcount zip codes, though barely out of the

20 mile radius. Summary of Demographics A review of the demographics present some interesting patterns of growth that SCCC East should

consider in planning enrollments. SCCC East has the second oldest average age among the PCC

campuses at 27.8, however, the pre-college programs have introduced a much younger population

to the traditional college adult environment. There is a steady increase of high school enrollments

reported among community colleges statewide*. High school-aged students are participating in

programs alongside adult students as part of concurrent enrollment offerings. The overall

socialization, academic maturation, and environmental adaptations for this youthful segment are

special needs to factor into planning. A high concentration of resident students lives within La Plata

County, due primarily to Durango’s mountain location, and most students are part-timers, a reverse

III.G. STUDENT PERFORMANCE (Refer to section II.I in Volume 1 for student performance data.)

III.H. INSTITUTION’S PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO SERVICE AREA ECONOMY The CCCS Strategic Plan includes the Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado

businesses and communities shall be met through the development of a highly skilled workforce.”

SCCC East Campus / Pueblo Community College’s commitment to being a proactive education

partner with their immediate community and beyond is evident through their academic program

offerings designed with Career Technology Education in mind. Programs in the Health Professions,

EMS and the Law Enforcement Academy (LEA) are particularly connected to the Four Corners

region. For instance, the College’s LEA is the only provider of this training in this vicinity. Nursing,

respiratory care, and paramedic training continue to be in demand. The Durango area, a region

noted for recreation and a haven for retirees, requires a workforce that is responsive to this set of

circumstances. Skills developed through the Business Management curriculum help prepare

students to compete and navigate the ever-changing business climate.

Concurrent enrollment programs, which allow high school students the opportunities to earn college

credits while they continue their high school coursework, are geared to exposing young people to

career-oriented programs. The SCCC East Campus has agreements with local school districts to

provide some of these programs at area high schools, partly to offset the lack of facilities at The

Commons Building, and partly to preclude transporting the students from their high schools to the

college campus.

structure known as The Commons Building owned by the Southwest Institute for Education and

Conservation and managed by the Durango Adult Education Center. Also known as the “Old

Federal Building”, The Commons Building houses several non-profit and educational organizations.

SCCC East is the largest tenant in the 42,513 GSF Commons Building.

ii. Land Uses Adjacent to the Campus The Commons Building is in a medium density commercial zone in downtown Durango, zoned CB,

or Central Business District. See Figure C below. The properties surrounding the building are

similarly zoned. These properties include a major grocery store, two large scale lodging facilities,

and a liquor store. Dining and other retail shopping are found on nearby properties. There is a

conveniently located public transit stop across the street. Camino del Rio (also known as Highway

550) is also one block from historic Main Avenue, which features older vintage buildings. The

Animas River and Trail lie to the west less than one block from the property. Further west past the

river is the Greenmount Cemetery and Planned Development zones.

IV.C. CURRENT SPACE INVENTORY / PROJECTIONS TABLES i. Current Space Utilization by Space Type in Relation to Department Space Utilization Guidelines Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 course and

facility data for the SCCC East Campus received by PCC’s Office of Institutional Research and

Accreditation through Banner, and information from SCCC East Campus administrative staff. The

utilization analyses includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as utilization

analyzing weekly room hours of use and student station occupancy percentage. This information

assists in the formulation of the classroom and laboratory guideline applications for Pueblo

Community College in association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College

System office in concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space

inventory for the SCCC East Campus is located in Appendix B. The Space Utilization tables are

located in Appendix D.

In addition, the consultants, having met with academic and administrative constituents at the SCCC

East Campus during the Program Plan process in late winter 2010, gathered information on space

needs. This information combined with enrollment data were used to perform the space needs

analysis. Space needs were compared to existing space at the Durango campus to determine

surpluses and deficits.

Classrooms The 2010 CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” defines college classrooms as

rooms used for scheduled classes that are not limited in their use to a specific subject or discipline.

College classrooms include general purpose classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, auditoriums,

and computer classrooms that are not software specific. Classroom service space supports one or

more classrooms, providing media support, preparation areas or storage.

SCCC East Campus has a total of eight classrooms. Combined with the classroom service area, the

campus has a total of 4,351 ASF.

The 2010 CCCS guideline for classrooms utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:

Space Factor = Average Station Size

Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week

This space factor is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for

WSCH totals – for both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:

Fall 2009 = 0.77 x 2,102 = 1,619 ASF

Fall 2014 = 0.77 x 2,238 = 1,723 ASF

Teaching Laboratories Teaching laboratories are rooms used predominantly for regularly scheduled classes that require

special equipment for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice. The 2010

CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” identified multiple categories for teaching

laboratories with recommended ASF for their respective spaces. Student Stations are noted to

include service spaces.

SCCC East Campus has four teaching laboratories. Combined with the teaching lab service area,

the campus has a total of 2,523 ASF. Among the teaching lab types found at the campus are:

Nursing, General Science - Biology, Health Sciences, Art, and Computer Science.

2010 CCCS Guideline: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms;

2010 CCCS Guideline: 68% classroom

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

The CCCS guideline for teaching laboratories utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:

Space Factor = Average Station Size

Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week

The consultants identified four teaching laboratory space types (Art, Computer, Nursing, and

Science – Wet Lab) for the SCCC East Campus in Fall 2009. Using the CSSS guideline factors,

listed below, the consultants determined an average ASF for the SCCC East Campus.

Teaching Lab Type Teaching Lab ASF General Science – Wet Lab 65 Chemistry and Physics 65 Dining Teaching 22 Business 33 Music 39 Art - average 58 Nursing 100 Health Sciences 100 Foreign Language 40 Multi-media 75 Computer Science 37 Auto Repair 240 Building Trades 210 Electronics (bench type) 50 Machine Shop, Wood Shop 60 Welding 100

The breakdown of the guideline ASF space factors used for SCCC East Campus’ teaching

laboratories is as follows:

Art (dry/wet media) = one lab at 60

Computer = one lab at 37

Nursing = one lab at 100

Science (median between General Science and Health Science) = 83

Average Assignable Square Footage = 69.50.

Applying this average to the equation, the Space Factor is calculated to be 3.10. This space factor

is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for

both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:

Fall 2009 = 3.10 x 913 = 2,830 ASF

Fall 2014 = 3.10 x 972 = 3,014 ASF

Given that the existing teaching laboratory/service area is 2,523 ASF, this calculation indicates a

deficit of teaching lab space for both the base year and the target year. This deficit increases from

307 ASF in the base year to 491 ASF for the target year.

Open Laboratory CEFPI defines the open laboratory having “disparate functions” as computer laboratories with

discipline specific software or where access is limited, group and individual music practice rooms,

and studios for independent study. Intensity of use and station size may be varied to meet

institutional requirements.

The existing designated Open Lab at SCCC East is heavily used as a space for group and

independent study, partly due to lack of other appropriate study space. The campus also has a small

Tutoring Lab. CEFPI uses a Space Factor multiplied by the fall FTE to arrive at Open Lab space;

institutions less than 3,000 FTE require 4.9. For the Fall 2009 guideline, the consultants chose this

4.9 factor: 4.9 x 278 = 1,362 ASF. For the Fall 2014 guideline: 4.9 x 296 = 1,450 ASF.

Office Space CEFPI defines office space to be inclusive of individual office space, reception, waiting, storage,

work and copy rooms, lounges and conference rooms. CEFPI uses a space factor is multiplied by

FTE to determine required office space.

The Colorado Department of Higher Education has established guidelines for office space:

Staffing Type Office ASF

President 300

Vice President/Dean 250

Department Chair / Manager 200

Faculty 130

Supervisor 130

Technical / Paraprofessional 120

Clerical / Secretarial 100

Office space is determined by multiplying the space factor guidelines by FTE. The SCCC East

Campus has two types of general office space: Academic Office and Administrative Office.

In general, office space was reported to be deficient, mostly attributed to staff growth during the

period of reporting. Space recommendations were assigned as follows:

Academic: Fall 2009 Faculty FTE was reported at 3.5 FTE, comprised of department

chairs/directors, faculty, adjunct instructors, and faculty support. CEFPI recommends using a fraction

for adjuncts and students, such as ½ faculty for part-time and ¼ for students:

Department Chairs/Directors (2 x 200) + Part-time/Adjunct ½ (1 + 7) x 130 + Hourly/Students ¼ (24)

x 5 = 400 +520 + 60 = 980 ASF for the Fall 2009 guideline.

Administrative: Fall 2009 Administrative FTE (Administration, APT, Classified, and all non-academic

deans) information for the Pueblo Campus was reported at 6.5 FTE. Space recommendations were

assigned as follows:

Dean (non-academic) (1 x 250) + APT (3.5 x 150) + Classified (2.0 x 100) = 250 + 525 + 200 = 975

ASF for the Fall 2009 guideline.

Administrative office space at the SCCC East Campus also includes the Go!Zone registration area,

which encompasses student stations. The consultant chose the 12% of FTE factor similar to the

CEFPI for Study Space multiplied by the generous factor of 35 ASF/user: (.12 x 278) x 35 = 1,168

ASF. Additionally, the staff conference room and internal lounge are part of Office Space; the

consultant used the CEFPI space factor of 25 ASF/ total staff headcount: 25 x 20= 500 ASF.

Therefore, total Other Administrative Office space requirements = 1,168 + 500 = 1,668 ASF

For Fall 2014 the consultant utilized the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan ASF

recommendations (see Appendix E) for office type spaces.

Library It bears mentioning the impact of the Pueblo Campus Library and their resources to the overall

campus population and that of the SCCC East Campus with regard to space inventory. Usage of the

Library resources is up, with resources being utilized 763,746 times in fiscal year July 09 – June 10,

a 179% increase over the previous fiscal year (July 08 – June 09). Current Library available

resources applicable to the SCCC East Campus with utilization figures for FY 09-10 include:

Online catalog usage: 197,750 searches and full text retrieval

ebooks: 16,388 (netLibrary and Stat!Ref); accessed 2,958 times

Online Databases: 30; accessed 457,065 times

Online Reference: All campuses have access to online reference services through EBSCO Host’s

Ask a Librarian. In addition there is a link on all campus library pages to the PCC Library’s email

reference assistance.

This trend of online usage will likewise impact course delivery and ultimately the Library

access/usage patterns, as patron numbers increase. As SCCC East Campus presently utilizes

online resources in addition to outside resources through the Fort Lewis College facilities and the

local Durango Public Library, there is no formal Campus Library. For the 2009 guideline the

consultant chose to modify CEFPI’s Study Facilities (400) space factor to determine space for a

Resource Center, a place with computer stations for research and the ability to check out

department specific materials with appropriate secured storage. The Space Factor is 35 ASF per

user; user is a % of total FTE, with 12% for FTE undergraduate students and 5% for FTE faculty.

The space factor was reduced to 20 ASF.

20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 278) + (.05 x 8.5)] = 676 ASF

676 ASF exceeds the SCCC East Campus Building program plan figure for a Resource Center, 450

ASF; the consultant believes the larger number will permit growth for furnishings, service and

storage.

Assembly and Exhibit CEFPI defines assembly spaces, as spaces designed for large group events such as plays, concerts

or commencement, and includes theaters, concert halls, and auditoriums. The recommendation for

two year institutions for the first 5,000 FTE is to be assigned a core of 14,000 ASF. As SCCC East

functions as a satellite campus with a much reduced FTE, the consultant chose the SCCC East

Campus Building program plan size of 2,400 ASF, as the planned assembly area will satisfy not only

assembly functions but also on-site fitness-related functions – see “Fitness Center”. As the space

will multi-task, campus exhibit space can easily be accommodated within the 2,400 ASF. CEFPI

noted a minimum of 2,000 ASF for exhibit space relative to smaller institutions.

Physical Plant As the SCCC East Campus is in leased space, their only Physical Plant/Support Facilities function is

the Telecom Server Room at 143 ASF. CEFPI guidelines for support services use a 6% space

factor of total building ASF, which excludes the 700 code rooms (server room, mail facilities, shop

areas). The Fall 2009 guideline = .06 x (14,160 + 5830 + 1,062) = 1,263 ASF. Guidelines for Fall

2014 utilized the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan figure of 1,380 ASF.

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

Auxiliary Space: Student Lounge The SCCC East Campus presently utilizes public amenity-type space at the Commons Building as

part of their lease agreement. The college desires student lounge space particularly for students

who drive long distances. CEFPI uses a Space Factor of 3 ASF/FTE: 3 x 283 = 849 ASF. The

consultants chose to reduce this to 600 ASF to reflect anticipated staggered student use. This figure

exceeds the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan figure of 500 ASF; the consultants believe

the larger number will accommodate more growth for furnishings and storage.

Fitness Center The First Responder programs at SCCC East Campus desire a space to accommodate the

specialized physical training exercises with the ability to lay down floor mats and associated storage

for additional equipment. A multipurpose room is mentioned in the SCCC East Campus Building

Program Plan that will allow for these fitness-type activities and also function as a formal assembly

area – see “Assembly and Exhibit”. The consultants factored space for a Fitness Center into the

Assembly and Exhibit category.

Bookstore The Bookstore is a Merchandising-type space, involved in the sale of goods and services, per

CEFPI definition. A Space Factor of 2 ASF/FTE is the guideline, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF: 2 x

283 = 566 ASF. During Fall 2009, the SCCC East Campus had planned on moving their 352 ASF

existing first floor bookstore operation to a non-assigned larger space on the second floor, 462 ASF;

this occurred in Spring of 2010. The consultants chose to use this figure as the guideline for the

Bookstore space for Fall 2009 and the figure of the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan of

750 ASF for the 2014 guideline.

Conclusion In summary, the Space Needs Analysis determined that the Master Plan guidelines based on Fall

2009 enrollment required a total of 15,635 ASF, over 30% additional ASF over the existing 11,963

ASF, confirming the dire need for space for the SCCC East Campus. Almost every space category

reported deficit space. The combined guideline ASF/FTE for Academic and Academic Support

Space categories netted 52.43 ASF/FTE, which is over the State guideline for satellite/branch

campuses (44), but under the State guideline for main campuses (55). Immediate attention must be

paid to acquiring additional space to maintain class offerings and operations as a viable provider of

higher education.

ii. Overview of Current Space Utilization Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 credit course

enrollment and facility data for the SCCC East Campus. Excluded from the enrollment data are non-

credit courses, online, hybrid, private instruction, and independent studies. As the SCCC East

Campus offers morning through evening sessions throughout the weekdays, and weekend sessions,

data was analyzed to determine the high use hours by the building for 42 hours for classrooms and

28 hours for teaching laboratories (Appendix A.). For both classroom and teaching laboratories,

these peak hours occurred primarily Monday through Thursday, between 8:00am – 9:00pm, with

some peak classroom times reported on Friday mornings and Saturday evenings. The utilization

analyses, as set by current CCCS guidelines, includes scheduled room use by day and time of day,

as well as utilization analyzing weekly room hours of use, and weekly student (scheduled) contact

hours (WSCH)* by students in credit courses, and student station occupancy as a expressed

percentage of room station count multiplied by the state guidelines of 42 hours (classrooms) and 28

hours (laboratories).

* Weekly student (or scheduled) contact hours = the number of equivalent hours (50-minute hours) that seats are

occupied in a week during scheduled on-campus classes.

Utilization (%) = No. of Stations Occupied x Hours/Week Occupied

Capacity No. of Stations x Total Hours/Week

In using this formula, course enrollments that are considered out of the high use hours times, were

excluded from the overall utilization percentage calculations. This would potentially eliminate

courses with low enrollments and/or low contact hour classes. In addition to the formulation of the

building utilization, data for assignable square footage (ASF) per student was collected to determine

planning for classroom and laboratory guideline applications for Pueblo Community College in

association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College System office in

concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space inventory for the SCCC

East Campus located within the Commons Building can be found in Appendix B. The Space

Utilization table is located in Appendix D.

The Fall 2009 Building Utilization Summary for the SCCC East Campus is as follows:

2010 CCCS Guidelines: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms; 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories

Number of stations as identified in the Room inventory

WSCH: Weekly Student Contact Hours

Classroom Use

State Guideline Target Utilization: 68%

Utilization

Utilization Analysis by Student Station Occupancy (SSO) – Day and Hour / Building Use Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009

Review of the classroom student station occupancy utilization analysis revealed for the campus

average, utilization at 29%, far less than the desired State guideline utilization rate of 68%. Those

classrooms demonstrating well above the average 29% with some over-enrolled courses, but still

under the desired rate, included: classrooms for Accounting, Art, Economics, and Remedial Math

(218 at 48%); and General Education courses, Art, Biology, and Remedial English (210 at 37%).

Teaching Laboratory usage analysis for the campus average showed SSO utilization under the

target at 40%. One lab met the exception and demonstrated well above the State guideline of 80%,

Room 220 at 88%, which served as the Biology Lab. The next high use teaching lab was Room 217,

the Nursing Lab, which registered 46% utilization. Refer to Appendix D for a complete review and

summary of utilization analysis.

Utilization by Room Capacity Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009

An analysis of utilization by room capacity was likewise studied for Classroom and Laboratory room

categories; the data is tracked on the following charts. The majority of SCCC East Campus’

classrooms is in the 21-30 capacity. The Classroom findings revealed most SSO use showed the

highest rate of usage at the 21-30 (33%) and decreasing with decreased room size, suggesting the

most balanced use with the 21-30 room capacity.

IV.G. CIRCULATION SYSTEMS

Source: Stephen Hall Architects Drawing not to scale

i. Pedestrian Circulation Due to the footprint and location of the existing building on the property and required driveways and

parking around the building, there is a limited amount of pedestrian walkways, which are essentially

access walks around the building from the parking lot and public sidewalk off of Camino del Rio. See

Figure E. above. There is no formal walk along West 7th Street. Next to the high speed traffic of

Camino del Rio, the pedestrian experience around the building is less than desirable. Snowstorms

create walking hazards, particularly on the north end, where ice build-up is a reality due to the low

sun angle and the building casting a shadow on the parking lot over most of the day. Landscape is

limited to street trees fronting the building and several trees in the parking lot. Use of the City of

Durango’s public transit system requires pedestrians to cross Camino del Rio, which must be

traversed at intersections with traffic signals.

ii. Vehicular Circulation Due to the footprint of the existing building on the property and the property’s overall size, there is

limited vehicular circulation, and limited access to and from Camino del Rio via a shared driveway

with the neighboring major grocery store. Public transportation is widely available in the City of

Durango. A Transit Center which is a start/stop point for Route 2 (Fort Lewis College/North) of the

City of Durango’s Transit System is located in the neighboring property to the east of The Commons

Building across Camino Del Rio.

iii. Bicycle Circulation Bicycle racks are provided at The Commons Building site for commuters who choose this mode of

transportation. The City of Durango has a bike trail system, though no trails lead to or pass through

the campus site. One popular trail, the Animas River Trail, is located approximately one block west

of the campus site.

IV.H. UTILITY SYSTEMS

Records for utility locates were not made available to the consultants. The City of Durango sponsors

a GIS website* with Utility data. According to the Utility map, the main water, waste and storm water

from the City of Durango municipal supply lines run and enter into the south of the building.

Electrical is from the La Plata Electrical Association.

*Source: www.durango.gov.org, “Interactive Maps”

IV.I. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Storm water management for construction activity within the City of Durango is governed by the

Public Works Department, who enforces the Design Standards and Development Requirements for

Drainage and Storm Sewer Systems City Code 10-5-5.* The City of Durango Storm water Quality

Permit System requires a permit for any construction activity that disturbs at least 1 acre of land.

*Source: www.durango.gov.org

IV.J. ATHLETICS / PARKS / RECREATIONAL FIELDS / OPEN SPACE There are no athletic fields, parks, nor open space available on The Commons Building property.

There is a river bike/walk trail less than a half mile from this location. A concern among students

and staff is lack of recreational space, as many travel a distance to the building, and they desire a

down time from their academic schedule, particularly for those who work, some full-time, outside of

school.

IV.K. ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CAMPUS AESTHETICS Consultants’ note: As SCCC East Campus is in leased space, the following narrative is being presented to describe the current physical environs in the context of the community college. i. Architecture The East Campus is presently housed in leased space in The Commons Building, built in 1977.

The building’s simple box style suggests modern, having served as a Federal Building in the Post

War era, and is devoid of embellishment, except for its strong vertical articulation treatment of the

deeply recessed windows evenly spaced that read as columnar patterns from a distance. The

building has two main entrances – one ADA non-accessible east entrance off of Camino del Rio, and

the ADA accessible entrance at the west side, which features a simple pergola-type structure. Once

entered, most of the college community must access a centrally located elevator to arrive at the

second floor, which houses the majority of the college’s physical facilities. Landscape treatment is

very limited to fixed planters. A highly visible monument sign for the SCCC campus is located on the

Camino del Rio side of the building, to highlight the campus location and presence.

Interiors are limited by the building’s original design, which consist of an elevator central core and

wrap around corridors, which limits room sizes. Corridors are narrow in parts and non-code

compliant for exiting purposes. The common areas within The Commons Building (snack lounge

area with vending) are available to students and staff and furnished with tables and chairs, but they ii. Scale The three story structure is somewhat imposing from a pedestrian scale, as the building is situated

right off the public sidewalk along Camino del Rio. The neighboring properties are similarly scaled,

yet separated by parking lots and right-of-way access drives as typical for this type of commercial

zone.

iii. Materials Simple stucco walls in two, rather non-descript tones of gray reflect the “business” character of the

old Federal Building. Window and entrance systems are anodized aluminum.

iv. Urban Design The location of the SCCC East Campus within the context of The Common Building is in a fairly

busy commercial center of downtown Durango. Its close proximity to public transportation and a full

service major grocery store is beneficial. Limited on-site parking and traffic congestion, particularly

in heavy snow season can create building access problems.

On site security is an issue of consideration for SCCC East students and staff, as the building is not

always operating at the same hours of the College.

v. Public Art The property has no public art installations.

THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 37

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

One year following the historic merger between Pueblo Community College and San Juan Basin

Technical College, the two campus sites of Southwest Colorado Community College have embarked

on plans to address their respective changes/growth. With more recent plans to consolidate

resources, SCCC will be reviewing building inventory and utilizations for efficient operations. The

Master Plan, referred to as “The Plan”, for each campus site is discussed in separate narratives

within each section.

V. THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE

Space projections from the study show that at the present FTE enrollment and forecasted population

into Target Year 2014, the campus building inventory for academic and academic support is

sufficient for classrooms and deficient in teaching laboratory space, and can support a limited

amount of program growth. The lack of adequate and code-compliant laboratory space and

associated support/storage is debilitating to the demanding programs the College offers, and

likewise contributes to the limitations / non-availability of adequate teaching spaces. Paramount to

this concern is locating required space for new programs and maintaining outreach programs.

The Plan has been structured into two timeframes: Short Term Range and Mid- to Long-Term

Range. Each of these timeframes has identified specific goals. These goals, their descriptions and

associated project costs, where available, are covered in Section V.E. “Project Implementation

Plan”.

THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 38

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

ii. Functional Relationships within Land-use Zones The proximity to Durango public transit stop permits in-town commuting as well as travel to areas

outside of town.

iii. Flexibility for Growth The current location of the SCCC East Campus affords little growth potential for a college facility

requiring the proper spaces to support continued growth, as documented in the Program Plan. See

Figure G. of potential area of expansion. Parking must constantly be monitored due to the

competition for spaces from adjoining properties. V.B. LAND COVERAGE DECISIONS i. Building Density with Building Zones Planning and development in the City of Durango are governed by the Department of Planning and

Community Development. The department administers the city’s Comprehensive Plan and the Land

Use Development Code (LUDC). As SCCC East Campus is part of State Buildings, any planned

design and construction is governed by the State of Colorado and reviewed by a State Plans

Examiner for Code Compliance. With the existing site located in urban-type zones, (the Commons

Building is in the Central Business District), certain building scale elements will need to adhere to the

appropriate city design guidelines.

According to the current LUDC, Colleges and Universities located in the Central Business District

Zone (CB) would require a conditional use permit. Some zoning guidelines for CB zone include:

maximum building height is 55 feet; minimum front, side and rear setbacks are 0 feet; if front

setbacks are provided, 50% of the setback area must be landscaped; service entrance yards are

recommended for the rear or side setbacks. In the PB zone, which provides for uses and facilities in

the ownership of federal, state, and local governments or special taxing districts, similar scale

restrictions apply: maximum height is the same as permitted as adjoining properties – conditional

use permit and review are required if additional height is desired; setback requirements are similar.

ii. Parking Facilities As the present SCCC East Campus has insufficient parking at the present Commons Building

property, efforts must be taken to secure spaces on an as-needed basis. The Campus has been

able to locate spaces across the street in the municipal transit center.

V.C. CAMPUS PLANS AND SUPPORTING DATA

i. Land Perimeter The site of the present SCCC East Campus within the Commons Building is bounded by commercial

zoned property, which includes retail and commercial lodging, as well as the municipal transit center.

ii. Land Use The SCCC East Campus leases space in a multi-story commercial office building; this type of

building / land use is appropriate for the College’s present situation with the major exception of the

building’s lack of appropriate utility infrastructure to support the College’s programs.

iii. Circulation Systems and Vehicle Storage Surface parking lots for a college campus requires basic elements: vehicle storage, with

consideration for safe traffic patterns, building and arterial road connections, accessibility, site

lighting and site drainage, and distinguishing vehicular circulation from pedestrian circulation.

Spaces need to be appropriately located and assigned to police squad vehicles, as well as

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

maintenance and service vehicles. The Students on Campus Analysis table in Appendix A should

be consulted to determine the minimum amount of parking and provide for any future growth.

iv. Utility Systems, Including Technology Infrastructure The College will engage professional teams to perform the comprehensive study of required code

compliant building systems and the availability and adequacy of existing municipal infrastructure.

The newly released PCC Information Technology Master Plan will be consulted in consideration of

technology infrastructure guidelines for planning.

v. Building Location Source: Stephen Hall Architects / PCC / Colarelli Construction Drawing Not to Scale

vi. Storm Water Management Plan

vii. Facility Staging Plan SCCC East Campus will require specific logistical operations. As both are dealing with the

occasional severity of snowstorms, it is critical that planning for material, equipment, and waste

staging is factored in during the design phase at which time building scale and the proposed building

materials are being established. Coordination should also include discussions with the City of

Durango on matters concerning traffic and recycled waste management, as well as protection

against wildlife intrusions.

V.D. CAMPUS PLANS TO CONTINUE OR RENEW AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS The aesthetics of the current site is intended to promote vitality and opportunity, which is the identity

that the SCCC East Site desires. Having occupied leased space has limited the College’s ability to

forge an outwardly physical presence and identity, though the addition of an exterior monument sign

at the time of the merger has helped to anchor this identity.

Figure G. Study of potential expansion of The Commons Building.

Page 56: VOLUME 3: SOUTHWEST COLORADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE – A ... Facilit… · Bryan Crawford, Director of Computer Services ... Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West

THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 40

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

The important task of developing aesthetics will be a high priority, one that will revolve around the

selected overall site context, addressing:

• Scale – relationship to human scale, surrounding buildings, public roadways, walkways, etc.;

• Orientation – determining proper building placement to benefit from solar access, public

views;

• Design vocabulary – color, style, material palette to compliment neighborhood.

In determining the direction of the visual campus identity, the College should consider focus

meetings involving college students, faculty, leadership, and other community stakeholders

facilitated by design professionals to guide these decisions.

V.E. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Short Term Range is planned out for the target year of 2014. The focus of this timeframe is

addressing life safety issues and transitioning the physical campus as an operation site for online

delivery. Other immediate needs address student/administrative operations as well as finding

additional academic space:

• Locate additional parking

• Improvements to broadband width outside of the immediate service region

• Locate additional academic space within the Commons Building

• Enhance security

At this time the College reports that parking has been located in a surface lot across the street,

which will alleviate the crowding problems at the present Commons Building parking lot for the time.

The College is also presently working out arrangements with The Commons Building to secure an

additional 2,000 square feet of lease space in the lower level of the building for more classrooms.

2010 Campus Program Plan – a study Prior to the start of the Master Plan reporting period, Pueblo Community College commissioned a

Program Plan for a new Durango Campus in response to an ever-present dire need for academic

spaces to support their specific programs, additional office space, as well as storage spaces. The

Program Plan addressed the critical impact of location as a function of campus identity as well as the

support of program operations. Needs identified included:

• More Classrooms with more stations per room and Classroom Support spaces that will

permit growth. Currently some classrooms have been over-scheduled to accommodate

classes;

• More Laboratory space and laboratory service space, which are presently deficient in

quantity, size, indoor air quality, appropriate casework grade and furnishings;

• Additional and appropriately sized Offices and Office Support spaces;

• A large Multipurpose room to accommodate physical skills training for LEA and EMS

programs, as well as large assembly functions. Program directors cite inadequate room for

laying out mats and working on indoor training skills in current facilities. Outdoor training is

limited on the present site particularly with the challenge to execute discretion for particular

skills;

• A medium-sized demonstration kitchen space for Culinary Arts, which is presently being

operated at a local high school;

• Appropriately-sized Auxiliary (Bookstore) and Building Support Spaces (Telecom and

Physical Plant);

• Independent physical campus image (community identity, parking and site amenities).

Program PlanSouthwest Colorado Community College - East Campusa Division of Pueblo Community College

Though the recommendations from the Campus Program Plan will not be pursued under this

Facilities Master Plan, the space needs and programming exercises provided SCCC an opportunity

to closely evaluate their physical building and its shortcomings in serving SCCC’s operations. The

program plan was highly instrumental in supplying the data for the Facilities Master Plan Space

Needs Analysis, and highlighting critical life safety issues.

The Mid to Long Term Range As the SCCC is presently addressing the direction of consolidating resources, the SCCC East Site

will be evaluating the findings of the Facilities Master Plan, particularly academic programs and

building utilization, as well as operations to find East Site’s strengths. A program plan study that will

take into account the physical infrastructure to support online delivery programs and other vital

services that fit into the SCCC and PCC’s vision and mission is recommended. The transportation

dynamics between all three SCCC campus sites and associated parking will likewise be critical and

will require special studies.

The following narrative is being included as a discussion on LEED project development for the any

future planned project pursuing certification. Refer to Volume I, Section IV.E. for complete text.

Costs Associated with LEED Projects Per the Governor’s Executive Order D 005 05 “Greening of State Government”*, Executive Directors

of all state agencies and departments are directed to manage future new building construction and

renovation projects within the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system

when feasible. The intent of this directive is for all future projects to pursue an official LEED

Certification whenever it is “applicable and practicable” and is “deemed cost-effective”. In order for

the LEED Certification process to be considered cost-effective as part of a college construction

project, it is most helpful for the institution to be aware of and anticipate the additional explicit costs

in advance. It is also important that in budgeting these costs, that the institution is aware that the

additional costs involved with pursuing LEED certification are typically recouped many times over

through the general savings that go along with the design of a sustainable and energy-efficient

building.

* Source: www.colorado.gov

V.F. FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION SCHEDULE As no major construction projects are planned under this Facilities Master Plan, this section is not

applicable.

V.G. CRITERIA FOR UPDATING PLAN

Southwest Colorado Community College and Pueblo Community College will undertake the task of

reviewing this document on an annual basis to stay apprised of planning guidelines and policies that

will impact planning decisions as academic needs are presented. The task group should review for

consistency with the College’s Academic, Strategic and Information Technology Master Plans and

the CCCS Strategic Plan.

Upon approval by the State Board of Community Colleges of Occupational Education and the

Colorado Department of Higher Education, the College will prepare program plans for the proposed

projects and obtain appropriate approvals. If funding is not available for the fiscal year identified, the

schedule for requests for funding will be adjusted.

VI.B. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT POLICIES AFFECTING FACILITIES i. Admissions Refer to Part II.D.i., under Volume I for admission policies.

ii. Housing There is no housing policy, as the SCCC West is a commuter campus and has no housing.

iii. Student Services SCCC West Campus is supported by the Student Services Division at the Pueblo Campus, although

the campus does provide some on-site student services including admissions, financial aid, and

advising through its Go!Zone, one-stop enrollment center and a Learning Center with tutoring

services in the Main Building. SCCC West has its own campus bookstore, located in the Main

Building, stocked with textbooks, clothing, school supplies and food items.

iv. Campus Parking Parking is generally assigned to all registered students, staff and faculty. Parking is provided on-site

with a striped surface parking lot. There are no distinguished parking areas, other than for required

accessible parking spaces. There are a total of 180 marked spaces located to the north, west and

south of the property. Overflow parking is handled by use of the unmarked surface lot to the east,

between the Main building and Building D.

As part of the campus parking evaluation, the consultants have prepared the “Students on Campus”

chart (see Appendix A.) based on Fall 2009 headcount. This study was also factored into the

preparation of the space utilization analyses, covered in Section VII.C.i. Based on this study, the

average peak period of student building use over the course of the week occurred at 9 AM with a

count of 142 students, leaving a surplus of 38 spaces. With the addition of staff (headcount

information covered in Section VI.F.), it appears that the striped parking is adequate for the largest

building population. It is important to note the data excludes those groups not represented in FTE

enrollment, so the present count can conceivably accommodate those groups.

v. Athletics SCCC West Campus does not have, nor is it affiliated with, any sports teams. Presently there are

no organized clubs at the campus offering recreational/sport activities.

vi. Libraries The West Campus has access to the PCC Southwest Campus Library system through online

databases, with physical resources located at nearby Cortez Public Library, along with online access

to all PCC Campuses, and regional library databases with Cortez Public Library, Durango Public

Library, Mancos Public Library and the John F. Reed Library at Fort Lewis College.

vii. Class Scheduling During the reporting period of this Facilities Master Plan, the scheduling for classrooms and

laboratory facilities was coordinated by the Campus Dean working with an on-site scheduler. The

Dean reports to the President of PCC. viii. Facilities Maintenance and Annual Operations, Maintenance and Utility Costs As a division of Pueblo Community College, facilities maintenance for the SCCC West is under the

head of the Director of Facilities Services at the Pueblo Campus. On-site management is tasked to

the Facilities Coordinator, who is responsible for the day to day operations and maintenance.

Annual Operation, Maintenance and Utility Costs Based on reports from the Facilities Coordinator, the following table outlines the annual costs for

operating and maintaining the facility at the SCCC West Campus:

Budget Item

The annual operation, maintenance and utility cost per Student FTE, based on Fall 2009 FTE =

$ 436,543.52 / 168 FTE = $2,598.47

ix. Relevant Institutional Space Allocation Guidelines The consultants referred to several sources for guidelines used in this Master Plan in ascertaining

the College’s projections, covered in detail in Section VII.C. The Colorado Community College

System Office recently established space utilization guidelines in late Spring of 2010. The Colorado

Department of Higher Education likewise has set standards for higher education facilities. Planning

FTE Enrollment Both SCCC East Campus’ and SCCC West campus’ enrollment trends, as well as the overall PCC

campus populations and the Online and Inmate populations are documented in the following chart

and graph. It is important to note that the current database system Banner was implemented in Fall

of 2006; prior to that time SIS was the database system. Given the difference in database systems

and to maintain reporting consistency, the past four years of Semester FTE are tracked (Fall 2006 –

Fall 2009) to compare with projections up to 2014. In addition, the FTEs represented in this

Facilities Master Plan reflect the “Course Campus FTE”; they are not “Priority Campus” FTE which

include the online FTEs. SCCC East’s enrollment projections show a marginal but steady increase,

reflected in anticipated economic recovery for the five county region and its anticipated service area

population increase of 2.04% average annual percentage change in the master plan period. Of

particular note is the overall increase in population in the Census Data between years 2000 and

2010, as the five county region saw an average jump of 16.65%, reflected in the State of Colorado’s

increase of 16.92%. San Juan, Archuleta, and La Plata Counties were the greatest beneficiaries,

with increases of 25.27%, 22.09% and 16.82% respectively. Furthermore, population change by

individual town indicated that the city of Mancos saw an increase of 19.39% between years 2000

and 2010, underscoring the need for SCCC West to anticipate growth.

CCCS Strategic Plan – Key Performance Measures: Ages 14 – 64 In addition to the study of the Five Counties’ overall population trend line average increase of 2.04%

increase for the master plan period, average data from the Census Bureau was collected on the age

range of 14 – 64, the target age range for the community college student. The next graph studies

the population for this age group in the subject counties and the FTE enrollments at the SCCC West

campus – historic and projected into 2014. Trend lines superimposed on both graphs appear to be

unparallel, highlighting the vastly higher rate of growth projections of SCCC West’s enrollment to that

of the steady growth anticipated for the Five Counties service area (over 15:1).

SCCC West Campus Basic Enrollment Data - Headcount Note: See Volume 1, Section II.G. for PCC Online and Corrections enrollments.

Comparisons of the combined headcount figures for the West Campus and the East Campus are

being made with those of the Southwest Center drawn from the 2006 Basic Enrollment Data (Fall of

2005) as they share the same service project areas. Comparisons indicate the following:

Overall enrollment for both campuses suggests a growth of 43% (2006 projections indicated 10% growth);

The average percentage of full-time students showed a decrease from the Southwest Center figure

of 73.4% in 2005 to an average of 33.5%. This marked contrast suggests the adjustment in

dynamics with concurrent enrollment students (those attending both college and high school);

Note: Linear trend lines of the Five Counties 14-64 population and Mancos FTE show unparallel rates of growth.

Female students continue to make up the majority of students, with the exception of the West

Campus. The resultant disparity between male students decreased over this time period by 16%. It

is important to distinguish that the Female to Male ratio at Durango is almost 2:1, while the Female

to Male ratio at Mancos is 1:1.33;

Students attending at both East/West campuses are still overwhelmingly resident status, though the

current West Campus suggests a 3:1 ratio compared to the 2005 overall Southwest Center having a

near 4:1 ratio;

Ethnicity continues to show similar make-up, with White-Non-Hispanics and American

Indian/Alaskan Natives comprising the majority of students;

The average age of the East/West Campus student is 26.8, down from 27.9 in Fall of 2005. SCCC

West’s continued efforts to recruit concurrent enrollment (CHE) students reflect the slight shift in

demographic patterns from student populations in the 2006 Institutional Data. The average age for

SCCC West at 25.7 is the youngest of all PCC campuses;

The top resident students’ zip codes suggest residents from the same zip codes from 2005 are

attending.

The following tables and graphs, “Student Demographics” and “SCCC West Campus Student

Resident Demographic Data by Zip Code” provide the headcount makeup of enrolled students. In

the “Student Demographics” table, the Fall 2005 SWC enrollment figures are being presented to

compare demographic % breakdown.

SCCC West Student Resident Demographic Data by Zip Code

Source: David Besel /Colorado Community College System (CCCS) Map not to scale

Copyright © 1997-2009 Jon Corvat – USNaviguide.com

Map data © 2011 Google maps

The zip code information and map suggest that in Fall 2009 three in four FTE students lived within a

25 mile radius of the SCCC West Campus, that number mostly concentrated between the

communities of Cortez, Mancos and Dolores; a large part of the remaining number was represented

by communities east e.g. Durango and Bayfield, and as far south as Farmington, New Mexico, an

approximate one hour drive to campus. Summary of Demographics A review of the demographics present some interesting patterns of growth that SCCC West should

consider in planning enrollments. Though the present economy is largely dictating the rate of growth

and the ability to address that growth, the five county service area has a youth dynamic that will

directly impact the future of the SCCC West Campus. The pre-college programs have introduced a

much younger population to the traditional college adult environment. There is a steady increase of

high school enrollments reported among community colleges statewide*. High school-aged students

are participating in programs alongside adult students as part of concurrent enrollment offerings. The

14-64 age range graphs reveal a steadily increasing growth for this segment of the population. The

overall socialization, academic maturation, and environmental adaptations for this youthful segment

are special needs to factor into planning. Many of these students do not have their own

transportation, nor are some of legal driving age. In addition, the five counties region is anticipating a

growth trend. More resident students are part-timers, a reverse of the SWC Fall 2005 enrollment

profile. More male students over females are attending. All these factors become important

considerations on building use and traffic congestion.

*Source: “Fall 2009 Fact Book”, CCCS Office www.cccs.edu, “Fall 2007 – 2009 High School Student Enrollment*”,

pg. 22, reports statewide enrollments were steadily increasing between Fall 2007 and Fall 2009 at the average rate of

14% per year.

SCCC West Campus Enrollment Distribution by Organizational Unit The Enrollment Distribution by Organizational Unit chart below identifies enrollment for the 2009 fall

semester as well as projected growth for the 2014 fall semester at the SCCC West Campus.

Fall 2009 enrollments reveal the highest to be in

the Business and Technology Division programs,

Welding, Driving, ASE (Auto Service Technology)

and HEQ, (Heavy Equipment Operator) along with

English and Math in the Arts and Sciences Division.

Emergency Medical Services and Nurse Aid with

the Health Professions Division, were the next

highest.

Enrollment for Fall 2014 is projected to reflect

substantial growth for the majority of programs

relative to Fall 2009.

VI.G. STUDENT PERFORMANCE (Refer to section II.I in Volume 1 for student performance data.)

VI.H. INSTITUTION’S PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO SERVICE AREA ECONOMY

The CCCS Strategic Plan includes the Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado

businesses and communities shall be met through the development of a highly skilled workforce.”

SCCC West Campus / Pueblo Community College’s commitment to being a proactive education

partner with their immediate community and beyond is evident through their academic program

offerings designed with Career and Technology Education in mind. Programs in the Health

Professions, First Responders and Business are particularly connected to the Five County region.

Nurse Aide, respiratory care, and paramedic training continue to be in demand in rural communities

that are a distance away from medical facilities. Skills developed through the Business Management

curriculum help prepare students to compete and navigate the ever-changing business climate,

while other training programs help to meet regional needs in the mining, oil and gas industries.

Concurrent enrollment programs, which allow high school students the opportunities to earn college

credits while they continue their high school coursework are geared to exposing young people to

career-oriented programs. SCCC West Campus has agreements with local school districts to

provide some of these programs at the high schools to preclude transporting the students from their

high schools to the college campus.

It is important to note that Southwest Colorado Community College, a division of Pueblo Community

College, works closely with many companies, organization and agencies through partnerships,

grants and contracts. Combined partnering organizations for both the East and West campuses

include:

These valued relationships underscore the major role in the College’s impact to local, regional and

state economies. In addition, Pueblo Community College has been the recipient of many grants and

awards which allows the College to enact programs that support the communities of the campuses’

respective service areas. Furthermore, the proximity of the SCCC West Campus to nearby Mesa

Verde National Park affords a synergy with the famous parkland renowned for its well preserved

historical and cultural archeological sites.

Industry Training Center The following is an excerpt from an article* from the website Newswire affiliated with Colorado

Community Colleges, describing the impact of SCCC West Campus’ Industry Training Center:

“Over the last two years, hundreds of individuals have received training at Southwest Colorado

Community College to prepare them to work in the energy and mining industries. In 2008, the

southwest and western Colorado Workforce regions were awarded $2 million to prepare people for

employment in the growing industries of oil & gas extraction and mining.

“Colorado Workforce partnered with the former San Juan Basin Technical College and is now

partnered with Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC) to provide the hands-on training in

courses such as heavy equipment operations, commercial driving, mine safety, welding, and CAD

(Computer-Aided Design). Individuals came from throughout the Four Corners region to participate

in the training courses held at SCCC’s West campus in Mancos.

“The training for this project was conducted through SCCC’s Industry Training Center, a department

of the college that focuses on providing customized business training… development of short-term

training courses with the intention of getting people to work quickly.

“…This effort was part of a Community-Based Job Training grant from the US Department of Labor’s

Employment and Training Administration. Grant funds covered the cost of tuition, supplies and fees

in order to make the training affordable.”

buildings, three storage structures, one storage structure slated for demolition, and one radio station

(not owned by the College, nor part of the building inventory). See Figure M. The developed area of

the campus site is roughly one tenth of the whole site, which is approximates 40 acres. It is situated

in a remote location along Highway 160, near the entrance drive to Mesa Verde National Park. The

property is presently labeled “UNZ” (unzoned) by the Montezuma County Land Use Code. The area

surrounding the property is primarily Bureau of Land Management property, which is largely

undeveloped open space, consisting of forested area. To the west of the property is a rest area

maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) at milepost 46.42, which has a

picnic area and restroom facilities.

The Secured Storage Building (Storage), located at the southwest, is approximately 1,612 gross

square feet. It is a one-story building.

The Storage Building (Storage), located at the northeast, is composed of two small one-story

structures (1,386 GSF and 603 GSF). They combine for approximately 1,989 gross square feet.

As the latter two buildings are storage, they are not represented in the campus inventory and the

Campus Space Analysis Needs. Also, two structures are highlighted on the plan and are not part of

the inventory. The Radio Station, which is neither owned nor operated by SCCC West / PCC, is

located at the southwest corner of the site and is approximately 1,440 gross square feet. A storage

type structure, of approximately 1,302 square feet, is located to the north and is scheduled for

demolition. VII.C. CURRENT SPACE INVENTORY / PROJECTIONS TABLES i. Current Space Utilization by Space Type in Relation to Department Space Utilization Guidelines Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 course and

facility data for the SCCC West Campus received by PCC’s Office of Institutional Research and

Accreditation through Banner, and scheduling information from SCCC West Campus administrative

staff. The utilization analyses includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as

utilization analyzing weekly room hours of use and student station occupancy percentage. This

information assisted in the formulation of the classroom and laboratory guideline applications for

SCCC West Campus in association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community

College System office in concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed

space inventory for the SCCC West Campus is located in Appendix B. The Space Utilization table is

located in Appendix D.

In addition, the consultants, met with Pueblo Campus and SCCC West Campus administration at

both the Pueblo Campus and the SCCC West Campus, throughout separate efforts for the Facilities

Master Plan, the Facility Audit and Exterior Improvement Design Services, to gather additional

information on space needs, documenting the most current layouts provided by Facilities staff. This

information combined with enrollment data were used to perform the space needs analyses. Space

needs were compared to existing space at the SCCC West campus to determine surpluses and

deficits.

Classrooms The 2010 CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” defines college classrooms as

rooms used for scheduled classes that are not limited in their use to a specific subject or discipline.

College classrooms include general purpose classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, auditoriums,

and computer classrooms that are not software specific. Classroom service space supports one or

more classrooms, providing media support, preparation areas or storage.

SCCC West Campus has a total of 11 classrooms. Combined with the classroom service area, the

campus has a total of 8,235 ASF.

EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 59

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

The 2010 CCCS guideline for classrooms utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:

Space Factor = Average Station Size

Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week

This equation produces a Space Factor of 0.77. This space factor is multiplied by the Weekly

Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for both the Fall Semester

Base Year and Target Year:

Fall 2009 = 0.77 x 2,428 = 1,870 ASF

Fall 2014 = 0.77 x 4,856 = 3,739 ASF

Given that the existing classroom/service area is 8,235 ASF, this calculation indicates a large

surplus of classroom space for both the base year and the target year.

Teaching Laboratories Teaching laboratories are rooms used predominantly for regularly scheduled classes that require

special equipment for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice. The 2010

CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” identified multiple categories for teaching

laboratories with recommended ASF for their respective spaces. Student Stations are noted to

include service spaces.

SCCC West Campus had eight teaching laboratories in use during Fall 2009; several others were

inactive at this time. Combined with the teaching lab service area, the campus has a total of 22,284

ASF. Among the teaching lab types found at the campus are: Computer Science, Multi-media, Auto

CAD, Auto Repair, Electronics, Nursing, Building Trades, and Welding. The recently added Health

Professions program of Cosmetology (Spring 2010) is assigned similar recommendations as Clinic-

type spaces.

The CCCS guideline for teaching laboratories utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:

Space Factor = Average Station Size

Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week

2010 CCCS Guideline: 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories

2010 CCCS Guideline: 80% laboratories

2010 CCCS Guideline: ASF - varies Average Assignable Square Footage

2010 CCCS Guideline: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms;

2010 CCCS Guideline: 68% classroom

EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 60

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

The consultants identified four teaching laboratory space types (Auto Repair, CAD, Electronics,

Multi-media, and Welding) for the SCCC West Campus in Fall 2009. Using the CSSS guideline

factors, listed below, the consultants determined an average ASF for the SCCC West Campus.

Teaching Lab Type Teaching Lab ASF General Science – Dry Lab 55 General Science – Wet Lab 65 Chemistry and Physics 65 Dining Teaching 22 Business 33 Music 39 Art - average 58 Nursing 100 Health Sciences 100 Cosmetology 100 similar to clinical space Foreign Language 40 Multi-media 75 Computer Science 37 Drafting / Auto CAD 35 - 40 Auto Repair 240 Building Trades 210 Electronics (bench type) 50 Machine Shop, Wood Shop 60 Welding 100

The breakdown of the guideline ASF space factors used for SCCC West Campus’ teaching

laboratories is as follows:

Auto Repair = two labs at 100 each

Auto CAD = one lab at 40

Electronics = three labs at 50 each

Multi-media = one lab at 75

Welding = one lab at 100

Average Assignable Square Footage = 105.63.

Applying this average to the equation, the Space Factor is calculated to be 4.72. This space factor

is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for

both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:

Fall 2009 = 4.72 x 553 = 2,610 ASF

Fall 2014 = 4.72 x 1106 = 5,220 ASF

Given that the existing teaching laboratory/service area is 22,284 ASF, this calculation indicates a

large surplus of teaching lab space for both the base year and the target year.

Open Laboratory CEFPI defines the open laboratory having “disparate functions” as computer laboratories with

discipline specific software or where access is limited, group and individual music practice rooms,

and studios for independent study. Intensity of use and station size may be varied to meet

institutional requirements. Open Lab space at SCCC West Campus is primarily assigned for the

campus Learning and Testing Centers. The space requirement is calculated by multiplying a Space

Factor by the fall FTE; CEFPI assigns an average of 4.9 ASF/FTE. For the Fall 2009 guideline, the

consultant chose this 4.9 factor: 4.9 x 168 = 823 ASF. For the Fall 2014 guideline: 4.9 x 336 =

1,008 ASF.

Office Space The Colorado Department of Higher Education has established guidelines for office space:

EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 61

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

Staffing Type Office ASF

President 300

Vice President/Dean 250

Department Chair / Manager 200

Faculty 130

Supervisor 130

Technical / Paraprofessional 120

Clerical / Secretarial 100

Office space is determined by multiplying the space factor guidelines by FTE. The SCCC West

Campus has two types of general office space: Academic Office and Administrative Office. In

general, office space was reported to have surplus for both administrative and academic spaces.

Space recommendations were assigned as follows:

Academic: Fall 2009 Faculty FTE was reported at 8 FTE, comprised of department chairs/directors,

faculty, adjunct instructors, and faculty support. CEFPI recommends using a fraction for adjuncts

and students, such as ½ faculty for part-time and ¼ for students:

Department Chairs/Directors (2 x 200) + Faculty (6 x 130) + Part-time/Adjunct ½ (13) x 130 +

Hourly/Students ¼ (5) x 5 = 400 + 780+ 845 + 7 = 2,032 ASF

Administrative: Fall 2009 Administrative FTE (Administration, APT, Classified, and all non-academic

deans) information for the Pueblo Campus was reported at 12 FTE. Space recommendations were

assigned as follows:

Fall 2009: Dean (non-academic) (1 x 250) + APT (3 x 150) + Classified (8 x 100) = 250 + 450 + 800

= 1,500 ASF

Fall 2014 with planned additional staffing: Dean (1 x 250) + APT (4.5 x 150) + Classified (9.5 x 100)

= 250 + 675 + 950 = 1,875 ASF

Administrative office space at the SCCC West Campus also includes the Go!Zone registration area,

which encompasses student stations. The consultant chose the 12% of FTE factor similar to the

CEFPI for Study Space multiplied by 35 ASF/user: (.12 x 168) x 35 = 706 ASF. Additionally, the

staff conference room and internal lounge are part of Office Space; the consultant used the CEFPI

space factor of 25 ASF/ total staff headcount: 25 x 34= 850 ASF. Therefore, total Other

Administrative Office space requirements = 706 + 850 = 1,556 ASF. An additional 908 ASF was

entered for Fall 2014 for potential meeting room space (see “Assembly and Exhibit” below) =

2,464 ASF.

Library It bears mentioning the impact of the Pueblo Campus Library and their resources to the overall

campus population and that of the SCCC West Campus with regard to space inventory. Usage of

the Library resources is up, with resources being utilized 763,746 times in fiscal year July 09 – June

10, a 179% increase over the previous fiscal year (July 08 – June 09). Current Library available

resources applicable to the SCCC West Campus with utilization figures for FY 09-10 include:

Online catalog usage: 197,750 searches and full text retrieval

ebooks: 16,388 (netLibrary and Stat!Ref); accessed 2,958 times

Online Databases: 30; accessed 457,065 times

EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 62

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

Online Reference: All campuses have access to online reference services through EBSCO Host’s

Ask a Librarian. In addition there is a link on all campus library pages to the PCC Library’s email

reference assistance.

This trend of online usage will likewise impact course delivery and ultimately Library access/usage

patterns, as patron numbers increase. For the 2009 guideline the consultant chose to modify

CEFPI’s Study Facilities (400) space factor to determine space for a Resource Center, a place with

computer stations for research and the ability to check out department specific materials with

appropriate secured storage. The Space Factor for study stations is 35 ASF per user; user is a % of

total FTE, with 12% for FTE undergraduate students and 5% for faculty. The space factor was

reduced to 20 ASF, but space includes area for processing.

The consultants arrived at the following guidelines: Fall 2009 = 20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 168) + (0.05

x 8)] = 412 ASF; Fall 2014 = 20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 336) + 0.05 x 13)] = 820 ASF

Assembly and Exhibit CEFPI defines assembly spaces, as spaces designed for large group events such as plays, concerts

or commencement, and includes theaters, concert halls, and auditoriums. The recommendation for

two year institutions for the first 5,000 FTE is to be assigned a core of 14,000 ASF. The SCCC West

Campus presently has no formal assembly space; the largest space available in the Main Building

on the second level has serious life safety deficiencies - structural, accessibility, rated corridor, fire

separation rating, fire sprinkler system, adequate ventilation - requiring major reconstruction. As the

College’s FTE and projected 5 year growth is minimal relative to the CEFPI FTE, the consultant

reduced the core guideline to 5,000 ASF.

A conceptual study was undertaken in 2009 to investigate potential building growth. The consultants

used the figure of 5,634 GSF for potential assembly space for 2014. A 60-seat Meeting Room was

added to the “Other Administrative Space” category, a total of 908 ASF.

CEFPI cites exhibit spaces are to be assigned a product of a Space Factor and FTE, where

institutions less than 3,000 FTE utilize 1.5 ASF / FTE, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF. The SCCC

West Campus utilizes a wall of their Student Lounge area, which is in effect a formal exhibit space,

although the Lounge itself can accommodate exhibits. For the 2009 guideline, the consultant will

utilize the CEFPI minimum of 2,000 ASF, while the Fall 2014 guideline = 2,000 + 5,634 = 7,634 ASF.

Physical Plant The existing SCCC West Campus has 6,236 ASF of Physical Plant/Support Facilities. CEFPI

guidelines for support services use a 6% space factor of total building ASF, which excludes the 700

code rooms (server room, mail facilities, shop areas). The Fall 2009 guideline = .06 x (45,591) =

2,736 ASF. The Fall 2014 guideline added in the planned auditorium space for a recommendation =

3,426 ASF.

Auxiliary Space: Student Lounge The SCCC West Campus presently utilizes a centralized space in the Main Building as the Student

Commons Lounge, along with corresponding student lounge spaces in both “A” Building and “B”

Building, combining for an aggregate total of 2,117 ASF. The consultants chose this number for the

Fall 2009 guideline; in consideration of CEFPI’s recommendation of 3 ASF/FTE = 3 x 168 = 504

ASF, the larger figure was more appropriate to accommodate the physical break out of the lounge

spaces, the commuter student needs and growth.

Fitness Center A traditional fitness center with equipment would be desired for the EMS program at the SCCC West

Campus, though space is not formally programmed for a specialized use as a Fitness Center, as the

consultants presume the surplus teaching laboratory space would accommodate these needs.

Bookstore The Bookstore is a Merchandising-type space, involved in the sale of goods and services, per

CEFPI definition. A Space Factor of 2 ASF/FTE is the guideline, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF: 2 x

172 = 344 ASF. As the campus renovated office space to create a 1,349 ASF bookstore prior to the

merger and Fall 2009, the consultant chose to use this latter figure as the guideline for the Bookstore

space for Fall 2009 and 2014.

Conclusion In summary, the Space Needs Analysis determined that the Master Plan guidelines based on Fall

2009 enrollment required a total of 19,005 ASF, just over one third of the existing 51,827 ASF, with

an ASF/FTE of 113.12, confirming a surplus of 32,822 ASF. The combined guideline base year

ASF/FTE for Academic and Academic Support Space categories netted 92.49.13 ASF/FTE, which is

well above the State guideline, 44 ASF/FTE for satellite/branch campuses, supporting the reality that

the campus has ample academic space. The building’s history with vocational tech programs lends

itself to larger teaching laboratory spaces, giving the campus flexibility for space planning. This

availability of academic space will have the ability to support growth of existing as well as new

programs into the target year and beyond.

ii. Overview of Current Space Utilization Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 credit course

enrollment and facility data for the SCCC West Campus. Excluded from the enrollment data are

non-credit courses, online, hybrid, private instruction, and independent studies. As the SCCC West

Campus offers morning through evening sessions throughout the weekdays, and weekend sessions,

data was analyzed to determine the high use hours by the building for 42 hours for classrooms and

28 hours for teaching laboratories (Appendix A.). For both classroom and teaching laboratories,

these peak hours occurred primarily Monday through Thursday, between 8:00am through 7:00pm,

with some classroom time extended into 9:00pm on Mondays. The utilization analyses, as set by

current CCCS guidelines, includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as utilization

analyzing weekly room hours of use, and weekly student (scheduled) contact hours (WSCH)* by

students in credit courses, and student station occupancy as a expressed percentage of room

station count multiplied by the state guidelines of 42 hours (classrooms) and 28 hours (laboratories).

* Weekly student (or scheduled) contact hours = the number of equivalent hours (50-minute hours) that seats are

occupied in a week during scheduled on-campus classes.

Utilization (%) = No. of Stations Occupied x Hours/Week Occupied

Capacity No. of Stations x Total Hours/Week

In using this formula, course enrollments that are considered out of the high use hours times, were

excluded from the overall utilization percentage calculations. This would potentially eliminate

courses with low enrollments and/or low contact hour classes. In addition to the formulation of the

building utilization, data for assignable square footage (ASF) per student was collected to determine

planning for classroom and laboratory guideline applications for SCCC West Campus in association

with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College System office in concert with the

Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space inventory for the individual buildings at

the SCCC West Campus can be found in Appendix B. Space Utilization tables are located in

Appendix D.

The Fall 2009 Utilization Summary is as follows:

2010 CCCS Guidelines: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms; 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories

Number of stations as identified in the Room inventory

WSCH: Weekly Student Contact Hours

Classroom Use State Guideline Target Utilization: 68%

Laboratory Use State Guidelines Target Utilization: 80%

Utilization

Utilization Analysis by Student Station Occupancy (SSO) – Day and Hour / Building Usage Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009

The SCCC West Campus Fall 2009 student station occupancy utilizations demonstrated the campus

had largely surplus classroom and laboratory space. Classroom Utilizations showed an average

among all campus buildings at 30%, well below the State’s target of 68%, with Building ‘A’ - the

Industry Training Center, as the exception showing a high utilization of 81%; Classroom A1 at 75%

served MIT (Medical Imaging Technology) and Driving courses, while Classroom A2 served Heavy

Equipment Operator courses.

Laboratory usage analysis for the campus average likewise, showed low student station occupancy

utilization at 19%, well under the State’s target of 80%. Refer to Appendix D for a complete review

and summaries of student station occupancy utilization analysis.

Utilization Analysis by Room Capacity Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009

An analysis of utilization by room capacity was likewise studied for Classroom and Laboratory room

categories; the data is tracked on the following charts. The majority of SCCC West Campus’

classrooms and teaching laboratories is in the 20 and under capacity. The Classroom findings

revealed most SSO use showed the highest rate of usage at the larger capacity 21 – 30 (75%)

though this represented one classroom (A1) out of eleven classrooms. Building ‘A’ had the highest

SSO use among the campus buildings shown for 20 and under capacity.

Room Capacity by Average Weekly Hours Analysis of the room capacity by average weekly (course section) hours reported maximum use for

classrooms in the larger capacity rooms, though not the larger physical room size. Though teaching

laboratory space fell in one room size category, it is important to note the relationship of furnishing

and equipment needs in considering proper laboratory size. The one teaching laboratory space that

registered the highest weekly course section hours was 128 (Main Building) for Cisco Networking at

18 hours.

VII.D. FACILITY CONDITIONS INDEX A Facility Condition Index is a numerical rating of the overall condition of a building and its

component on a 0 – 100 scale. Zero (0) would be considered a building that has just been

demolished and One Hundred (100) would have just been newly constructed. For the ratings in

between, State Buildings has provided the following interpretations:

99 – 95 Routine or Minor Maintenance needed

94 – 75 Major Maintenance is needed

74 – 55 Remodel is needed

54 – 35 Extensive Renovation is needed

34 – 1 Demolish, cannot be satisfactorily renovated

Pueblo Community College presented its report “Facility Walk - Observation and Comments”, dated

August 2008, to the consultants, detailing an overview of fire, life safety, and ADA issues for the

campus site and its buildings. This report preceded the merger between Pueblo Community College

and the San Juan Basin Technical Center to create the SCCC West Campus. In Year 2009, the

College self-conducted a facility audit for six of the eight campus buildings. The consultants have

produced a facility audit report for three buildings - Main Building, Building C (the “Med Shed”) and

Building D (“Unoccupied” Storage Building). The FCIs and recommendations will be made available

to the College for future incorporation into the Facilities Master Plan.

Year 2009

In Year 2009, Pueblo Community College prepared facility audits for the Motor Storage Building

(referred to in the Master Plan as the “Building Scheduled for Demolition”), the North Building,

Maintenance Shop (referred to in the Master Plan as the “Storage Building”, composed of two

structures), the West Storage Building (referred to in the Master Plan as the “Secured Storage

Building”), the Industrial Training Center, the Welding Shop, and the Med Shed (referred to in the

Master Plan as the “Building C”). As described in the following narrative, the FCI ratings developed

during this facility audit were reported as follows:

29.60 Motor Storage

34.42 North Building, Maintenance Shop

82.45 West Storage Building

55.16 Industrial Training Center

93.98 Welding Shop

62.06 Med Shed

Within the reporting for this Facilities Master Plan, there were no previous audit findings for all

buildings for comparison purposes. The Motor Storage Building was identified in the “Demolish,

cannot be satisfactorily renovated” category; as such, the building is scheduled for demolition. The

North Building, Maintenance Shop, was also identified in the “Demolish, cannot be satisfactorily

renovated” category, though in the upper range. The West Storage Building is in the mid range of

the “Major Maintenance is needed” category. The Industrial Training Center is in the low end of

“Remodel is needed” category. The Welding Shop, as the newest building on campus, was identified

in the high end of “Major Maintenance is needed” category. The Med Shed was identified in the mid

range of “Remodel is needed” category.

VII.E. TOPOGRAPHIC MAP The topography of the West Campus site is relatively flat at the main building location, with an

overall general slope from the south toward the northwest. The 1972 documents identify the finished

elevation of the Main Building at 6,644 feet above sea level. Toward the south, the topography rises

up toward Highway 160, with a datum point found to be 23 feet above the campus elevation. It is

important to note that per the International Building Code, the location of the campus site, by virtue

of its elevation is pre-disposed to snow load design for Mancos, which is approximately 200 feet

higher in elevation than the town of Cortez.

VII.F. SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS / 100 YEAR FLOOD MAP

The consultants had access to two soils reports provided by the College: (1) one performed in 1971

by Kal Zeff and Associates, Ltd., for the original Vocational Technical School, the Main Building; and

(2) one performed in 2006 by Trautner Geotech, a division of Trigon, EPC, for the Welding Shop,

Building B, located approximately 100 yards to the northwest of the Main Building.

The findings in the 1971 report noted the following: “The site is located in what is geologically

known as the Mancos Shale formation. This formation consists of preconsolidated sediments of

cretaceous age. The most important aspect of this formation is that it contains varying amount of

the clay mineral montmorillonite. This clay mineral has the ability to expand to many times its

original volume when subjected to increases in moisture content.”* Further, the report cited “very

stiff to hard, desicated, sandy clays” at footing levels of “medium plasticity and exhibit moderate

to very high volume change characteristics when wetted”.* Caissons drilled through potentially

swelling materials into the weathered bedrock strata was the recommended foundation system.

Though reported to possess swelling characteristics when wetted, the weathered bedrock

(shale) was noted to have hardness and very low permeability, that moisture intrusion into the

shale is difficult, and swelling unlikely.

*Source: Kal Zeff and Associates, Ltd., 1971.

The 2006 report identified man placed fill material comprised of medium dense gravel and clay soil

in 2 of 3 borings advanced, another layer of stiff clay soil with sand below that, and noted the same

Mancos Formation material below those layers, “inter-bedded layers of shale and sandstone”.* The

clay soil samples had a “measured swell pressure of about 7,400 pounds per square foot and a

swell potential magnitude of about nineteen (19) percent under a 100 pound per square foot

surcharge load.”* The report recommended the foundation system be designed “as rigid as is

reasonably possible”* and “isolated pad footings be avoided”*. The report further recommended a

subsurface drain system “be considered behind foundation walls where expansive soils have been

identified”2, and “pipe should be graded to surface outlets or a sump vault…surrounded by fabric

wrapped free-draining material”.* Preconstruction scarification, moisture conditioning and re-

compaction of natural soils were recommended for those areas proposed for concrete flatwork –

interior and exterior.

*Source: Trautner Geotech, a division of Trigon, EPC, 2006.

Soil movement has had a major physical impact on the existing buildings, evidenced by damaged

slabs and masonry cracks, among those impacts. Refer to Section VII.D. for additional information.

100 Year Flood Map As of October 1, 2009, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has transitioned from a

paper format of flood hazard data to a digital format. Information on flood hazard data for the SCCC

West Campus was obtained upon review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 08083C0850C*,

dated September 6, 2008. The campus site is an un-shaded area, which is outside any floodplain

area. More information can be accessed at the referenced website.

VII.G. CIRCULATION SYSTEMS

Source: Stephen Hall Architects Drawing not to scale

i. Pedestrian Circulation The campus buildings on site are laid out relatively functionally, with the Main Building at the core of

the campus structures and all other buildings sited some distance away, separated by parking lots.

There are established sidewalks around the Main Building, which connect building entrances to

parking. Lack of landscaped areas, for the most part preclude formal walkways between buildings.

It is presumed general pedestrian traffic takes the straightest path between building entrances. The

Main Building has one established accessible entrance from adjacent parking at the south side. The

other buildings’ entrances are non-compliant: Building ‘A’ requires a makeshift “gulley ramp” to

traverse from gravel area into the building; Building ‘B’ has a perimeter concrete walk that abuts the

building to dirt parking; Building ‘C’ requires the use of two steps to access the building at the

building’s two entrances. Building ‘D’, though unoccupied, has one an exterior paved area to its east

that could create an accessible entrance.

View of sidewalk connecting the Med Shed ‘C’ Building with the Main Building. Note step down to non-compliant accessible building entrance.

Maintenance of walkways is critical during snow season, particularly at the north parking lot, which

receives very little sun exposure in the months of low angled sun due to the high building profile

casting long shadows. Walkways must continually be scraped to prevent ice buildup. The site is

also exposed to prevailing southwesterly winds. With the lack of protective tree breaks, or similar

structures, the buildings provide the main “shield” for pedestrians.

ii. Vehicular Circulation Traffic enters from U.S. Highway 160. A perimeter road is established around the Main Building and

allows two-way traffic through the building areas. As such, this helps facilitate vehicle movement

and allows for a fire loop road.

iii. Bicycle Circulation The remote location of the campus site creates a distance challenge for this mode of

transportation. At present there are no bicycle rack provisions.

VII.H. UTILITY SYSTEMS

Source: Stephen Hall Architects, SCCC West Campus Drawing not to scale

i. Water Systems Domestic water is supplied by Mancos Water District. Currently the main line feeding the campus is

a 2” copper water line from the south. There are 2” plastic lines running to the “D” Building, the “A”

Building and on to the Radio Station. Water lines to the Welding building “B” and the Med Shed are

fed from the Main Building. The College will be reviewing the addition of an upgraded line for fire

protection service. The appropriate authorities having jurisdiction will be consulted for review of size

and placement of a service line.

The campus is presently upgrading their wastewater system – sewage lagoons for treatment and

disposal, located to the northwest of the campus buildings. Capacity is being enlarged with the

addition of a fourth structure to accommodate the growth of the campus facilities and use.

ii. Heating Systems The site uses propane gas as the main fuel for heating. The boiler for the Main Building was

replaced in 2007.

iii. Electric Systems Electrical service comes into the site overhead at a pole located near the campus entrance drive at

the southwest corner of the site, and runs underground in the vicinity of the west parking lot, and is

routed around the area north of the buildings. Though internal performance is reported to be

satisfactory, overall electrical service is not reliable.

iv. Technology Infrastructure The SCCC West Campus is networked with the Pueblo Community College system. At the time of

the merger wireless systems and other infrastructure were being introduced on site and installed by

Qwest. At present, the campus’ specific needs revolve around increasing bandwidth to improve the

networking.

VII.I. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT

The SCCC West Campus does not have it own formal storm water management plan. The nature of

soils at the Campus site has made it prone to erosion, leaving the building foundations vulnerable on

occasions of high run-off. There are no collection systems in place, either on the ground or on most

of the buildings, which can properly divert water away from these structures. The Main Building has

a gutter and downspout system, which requires constant monitoring and maintenance.

VII.J. ATHLETICS / PARKS / RECREATIONAL FIELDS / OPEN SPACE The campus site has abundant open space though largely undeveloped. The north end of the

property is being utilized for outdoor training skills by the Law Enforcement Academy students for

field surveillance activity. There are presently no athletic fields or parks established on the grounds.

Entrance to renowned Mesa Verde National Park is southeast of the campus property.

VII.K. ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CAMPUS AESTHETICS i. Architecture The buildings that make up the SCCC West campus are, at first glance, a linear mix of brick and

wood buildings, high bay doors, and metal shed type structures. They represent the working horse

vernacular of a vocational technical school. The first building, built in 1973 is the most prominent

structure, with a mix of flat and pitched metal roofs, structural brick with exposed brick façade, and

deep overhangs with exposed articulated glulams, reminiscent of the Pueblo Revival period with its

southwest vigas. Window openings are limited to small “punched openings”, except for the building’s

southern-facing central main entrance, with its wide glass openings. Signs of subsequent building

additions to this structure are evident, if not all complimentarily designed. The next largest building,

EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 74

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

Building D to the east, built in 1975, is a modest styled, pre-engineered metal building. After serving

time as the site of the SJBTC’s Construction Technology, Heavy Equipment/Diesel Technology, and

Welding programs, its present state of disrepair has rendered it unsuitable for occupancy. The

remaining buildings are pre-engineered metal buildings with low pitched roofs.

A distinct two-sided monument sign bearing the College’s logo on a tall post notifies travelers to the

location and presence of the campus.

The College has started to perform several in-house projects to bring the building up to current life

safety and accessibility codes.

ii. Scale The linear, low-lying scale of the buildings of the SCCC West Campus clearly identify with a

conventional or traditional school character. Surrounded by vast open land, their presence may

seem dwarfed, but they are appropriately scaled for their function.

iii. Materials The largest campus building, the Main Building, utilizes both flat and pitched membrane roofs, as

well as pitched metal roof. Exterior finishes include brick, which is no longer manufactured, plaster

and painted wood. A small addition with a shed metal roof and painted metal panel siding was

constructed in the mid 1990s at the southeast corner of the building. Building D has flat built up

roofs with painted metal panel siding. Buildings A, B, C, one minor storage building, and secured

storage are various periods of metal buildings with pre-finished metal panel siding that had recently

been painted. A second minor storage building has a pitched metal roof with wood lap siding. The

building currently housing the radio station operation has a pitched metal roof and painted

wonderboard siding. The Storage building currently scheduled for demolition, has a pitched asphalt

roof and wood lap siding. The color palette suggests earth tones, with PCC’s maroon branding color

utilized as an accent color.

iv. Urban Design With the location of the SCCC West Campus in a remote location, urban design issues do not apply.

m. Public Art The property has no public art installations. The College has designated a special area inside the

central Main Building, dubbed “Heritage Hall”, consisting of a collection of significant cultural and

historical photographs, news articles and items to establish a sense of place and permanence as a

higher educational institution for the Colorado southwest region.

VIII. THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE

In evaluating SCCC West Campus’ space needs and growth potential, 32,822 ASF surplus

academic spaces were identified, demonstrating ample space available space to potentially create

new teaching areas and service space within existing building inventory for future growth programs.

Primary consideration has been given to evaluating this inventory. Needs identified include:

• Review Facility Audit which will give an appraisal of the condition of the physical building infrastructure to

guide recommendations for renovation and maintenance projects.

• Plan for upgrades for the academic buildings in the areas of life safety and accessibility;

• Expand bandwidth to improve networking connections for online delivery;

• Establishment of proper maintenance and repair/replacement schedules;

• Exterior building and site enhancements to promote campus identity.

It is the recommendation of this Plan for SCCC West to continue building life safety upgrades and

space renovation plans as high priority projects, in review and organization of their surplus space.

occupant loads, traffic and site development. Additionally, the Plan also seeks to develop plans

promoting sustainable design. Section VIII.E., “Project Implementation Plan” will present the

College’s proposed projects in detail.

VIII.A. IDEAL FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

i. Nature and Relationships of Land Zones The West Campus sits on an established, remote site along a major highway, surrounded by miles

of open space. Most of this open land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The West

Campus property is zoned “UNZ” (Unzoned) as identified in the Montezuma County Comprehensive

Land Use Plan.

THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VIII., Page 76

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

ii. Functional Relationships within Land-use Zones The academic functions of the present campus buildings are supportive to the needs of the SCCC

West Campus. The one leased commercial building on site, a radio station, is a function that

compliments the commercial nature of the college.

iii. Flexibility for Growth Of all the Pueblo Community College campus sites, the SCCC West Campus possesses the most

flexibility in growth and buildable land area. Though soil conditions may limit the extent of building,

the areas surrounding the property afford little to no view restrictions nor setbacks, except for the

CDOT easement along U.S. Highway 160.

VIII.B. LAND COVERAGE DECISIONS i. Building Density with Building Zones The Main Building and the ‘B’ Building of the SCCC West Campus are the only buildings on site that

are one – two story in height and/or are one story with mezzanine areas. The remaining buildings

are one story in height. All other building structures in immediate surrounding areas are a maximum

of one story. Development of future building additions and respective maximum building height shall

consider the scale of the existing buildings and recommended guidelines per Montezuma County

Comprehensive Land Use Plan for UNZ zones. Consideration should also be given to the elevation

of U.S. Highway 160 at approximately 20 feet higher than the base of the Main Building.

ii. Parking Facilities Current campus parking is addressed through surface parking lots. The needs for future parking up

to FY 2014 will be sufficiently met with the current parking lots at a total of 180 striped spaces, with

regularly monitored maintenance. Proposed building additions will need to evaluate accessibility,

parking needs and spaces provided. Comprehensive conceptual site drainage and conceptual site

lighting studies are recommended for those areas proposed for future parking in concert with

location relative to all buildings, as well as the recommended lighting guidelines per Montezuma

County Comprehensive Land Use Plan for UNZ zones.

VIII.C. CAMPUS PLANS AND SUPPORTING DATA i. Land Perimeter The SCCC West site is bounded by open space to the west, north and east sides, with U.S. Highway

160 to the property’s south, see Figure S. Plans are to maintain this perimeter for this master plan

period.

ii. Land Use Under a previous agreement between the Bureau of Land Management and San Juan Basin Vo-

tech School, all land use on this property is to be maintained and operated for educational purposes.

The SCCC West Campus site will continue to support higher education programs as part of the

Colorado Community College System.

iii. Circulation Systems and Vehicle Storage The present site and all proposed building additions should consider continuity of vehicular traffic,

particularly service vehicles and first responder vehicles. The present site has a distinguishable loop

road and should be maintained as such. As the College offers certificate programs in Diesel and

Heavy Equipment Technology and Commercial Driving Training, circulation patterns and parking

areas for these vehicles must be likewise maintained. At present only the Main Building provides

covered protected parking for vehicles in the automotive classes; all facility service vehicles utilize

outdoor parking.

All locations of established pedestrian walkways are sufficient for connections to buildings and

parking areas, though they must be regularly maintained to achieve not only safety but also

accessibility as required. All planned building additions should consider connection points to these

established walkways, as well as designing distinguished separation of vehicular circulation from

pedestrian circulation. iv. Utility systems, Including Technology Infrastructure As the College has recently undertaken utility infrastructure upgrades, namely the sewer lagoon

repairs, and electrical upgrades, any proposed plans for building modifications or additions should

consult the Facilities Master Plan and the Campus Facilities Director to determine the adequacy of

existing utilities. Technology infrastructure to support data and wireless capabilities was installed

prior to the merger so the necessary communication systems between PCC and SCCC would be in

place. The College would particularly like to strengthen the polycom technology as with the SCCC

site at Pagosa Springs.

v. Building Location Plans for future building addition or upgrades must consider location between existing buildings for

code purposes, distance from established easements and utilities, sun/shade/wind exposure, noise

impacts, as well as the impact of associated parking and traffic. Coordination should also include

discussions with the appropriate governing jurisdictions on matters concerning traffic patterns.

vi. Storm Water Management Plan Site drainage is a serious challenge at the SCCC West Campus. The presence of groundwater

discharging with every heavy snow/wet season is a present reality particularly with swelling soils. On

occasion, water runs under the Main Building crawlspace, requiring vigilant monitoring and major

cleaning effort. It is the recommendation of this Facilities Master Plan that the College undertake a

professional site survey to document drainage patterns and formulate recommendations for

addressing the current soils and impacts to the buildings. It is also recommended that College

leaders extend their understanding and knowledge of their campus site – drainage issues, diverting

systems, and how some problems can be abated, by offering education programs to the College

community and create awareness of these issues.

vii. Facility Staging Plan The expanse of open space around the campus site is beneficial for the College’s ability to stage

construction projects. The critical element is scheduling and locating temporary structures, the

transportation of materials and waste, and storage areas that do not disrupt with parking and

pedestrian patterns in and around the multiple academic buildings. The potential severity of

snowdrifts and ice buildup must be factored for protection of building materials and construction

activity and associated traffic.

VIII.D. CAMPUS PLANS TO CONTINUE OR RENEW AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS i. Aesthetic Narrative As SCCC West anticipates growth – both physically and in stature – the campus will seek to

establish and maintain their physical presence, representing the mission of Pueblo Community

College. As part of their purpose is an outreach to the surrounding communities, the campus site

represents a showcase-type opportunity and should reflect a modern and purposeful ideal. Located

off of Highway 160 and within relatively close proximity to a venerable National Park, the campus

has the potential to stand out, through building massing and choice material selections that

compliment the landscape. To enhance/update the low profile, period academic brick and wood

exterior, proposed exterior improvements will feature a modern aesthetic, utilizing contemporary

materials.

VIII.E. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Project Implementation Plan indentifies those projects which respond to the assessments and

conclusions of the Facilities Master Plan. The listing of projects has been structured into two time

frames: Short Term / Immediate Range and Mid to Long Term range. Each of these time frames

has identified specific goals.

The Short Term / Immediate Range is planned out for the target year of AY2014 - 2015. The focus

of this timeframe is controlled maintenance projects involving upgrading life safety/accessibility

elements for all campus buildings and overall site, specifically fire rating of corridors and fire alarm

notification.

Several of the following projects have been addressed by the College during the course of the

Master Plan development and are in project implementation stage or completed:

• Water vault and lagoon aeration repairs

• New Cosmetology Lab

• Improvements to broadband width outside of the immediate service region

• Enhance building security

The Mid to Long Term Range As the SCCC West Site establishes its identity in Cortez/Mancos and the Five Counties Region, its

ability to maintain programs which cater to its service area and beyond are key to its success. The

site’s location in a remote area noted primarily for the internationally renowned and culturally rich

Mesa Verde National Park and other outdoor recreational activities (camping, game hunting, fishing,

hiking, mountain biking), make it a strong asset, a destination site. Campus administrators from the

Pueblo Campus and the SCCC West Site envision providing certain amenities to accomplish this:

Food Services/Dormitories: The history of the original San Juan Basin Vo-Tech building once

included plans to have on-site dormitory facilities to accommodate students coming from a long

distance to the remote campus site. The SCCC West Site could draw from the potential pool of out-

of-state students as well as students that are coming from far locales in state, giving these students

on-site housing for the duration of their studies as opposed to daily long distance commute driving.

See Volume I, Appendix H.1, “Residence Life Program Concept Paper” for PCC’s in-depth study on

student housing.

Additionally, the direction to consolidate SCCC resources will require studies of transportation

dynamics between the three SCCC campus sites and associated parking to support revised

operations.

The following narrative is being included as a discussion on LEED project development for any

future planned project pursuing certification. As SCCC West anticipates any construction work, the

Campus must consider, among other issues, energy consumption reduction, construction

methodologies, and managing building waste. Refer to Volume I, Section IV.E. for complete text.

Costs Associated with LEED Projects Per the Governor’s Executive Order D 005 05 “Greening of State Government”*, Executive Directors

of all state agencies and departments are directed to manage future new building construction and

renovation projects within the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system

when feasible. The intent of this directive is for all future projects to pursue an official LEED

Certification whenever it is “applicable and practicable” and is “deemed cost-effective”. In order for

the LEED Certification process to be considered cost-effective as part of a college construction

project, it is most helpful for the institution to be aware of and anticipate the additional explicit costs

in advance. It is also important that in budgeting these costs, that the institution is aware that the

THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VIII., Page 80

Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012

additional costs involved with pursuing LEED certification are typically recouped many times over

through the general savings that go along with the design of a sustainable and energy-efficient

building.

VIII.G. CRITERIA FOR UPDATING PLAN

Southwest Colorado Community College and Pueblo Community College will undertake the task of

reviewing this document on an annual basis to stay apprised of planning guidelines and policies that

will impact planning decisions as academic needs are presented. The task group should review for

the CCCS Strategic Plan.

Upon approval by the State Board of Community Colleges of Occupational Education and the

Colorado Department of Higher Education, the College will prepare program plans for proposed

projects and obtain appropriate approvals. If funding is not available for the fiscal year identified, the

IX.G. ALTERNATIVE ENROLLMENT SPACE NEEDS AND UTILIZATION STUDIES – SCCC EAST AND SCCC WEST In the course of analyzing Fall 2009 space utilization for both the SCCC East Campus and SCCC

West Campus, the consultants studied information not only from academic FTE enrollment

documented in the College’s databases, but also room use for special non-credit program offerings.

Both SCCC Campuses host class sessions for non-traditional FTE students concurrent with FTE

students with the standard academic calendar, with program scheduling matching the days/times of

FTE students. Overall campus building scheduling is therefore coordinated to account for use by

both FTE enrollment and non-FTE enrollment, particularly to accommodate the specialized activities,

furnishings and equipment associated with these diverse groups. Though accounting of non-FTE

enrollment is not covered in the Banner system, the College maintains record of non-FTE enrollment

as required by the respective programs. The Consultants obtained their enrollment numbers from

Fall of 2009, supplied by the respective Campus Deans and other program directors to ascertain a

full representation of building use by the FTE and non-FTE populations, beyond the FTE-only

enrollment figures mandated by the State’s reporting guidelines in the context of this Facilities

Master Plan. The purpose of this exercise was to document and quantify the real-life utilization of

these facilities, the competition for academic space between FTE and non-FTE, and to determine

and address the College’s reported experiences of shortfall program space in some facilities, such

as the Nursing Program at the SCCC East Campus. It is important to note that the Fall 2009 non-

FTE populations posed a less significant number at the SCCC Campuses compared to those at the

Pueblo Campus and the Fremont Campus.

To achieve this, the Consultants prepared an alternative enrollment set of utilizations. This

alternative set, designated “Set B” by the Consultants, comprised FTE enrollment by Banner + non-

FTE (High School program students) To determine a relative utilization figure for the non-FTE, the

Consultants applied a similar formula, replacing the 42/28 guideline hours with the “reported

hours/week occupied” of the course session and then added this to the actual hours beyond peak

hours of FTE-only enrollment. In doing so, the consultants, having been made aware of numerous

uses reported by the College faculty of various rooms (both classroom and laboratory types) for use

by non-credit course activities, as well as over-enrolled credit courses and credit course activities

which could not be accommodated properly in their assigned room - all undocumented by Banner -

have duly accounted for actual use of the physical space.

The following tables represent a comparison of the major space categories of the Fall 2009 Space

Needs Analysis between the CCHE Approved Set and “Set B” for both campuses.

For SCCC East, guideline Academic Support Space and Auxiliary Space categories showed the

same deficits for both sets, yet the guideline Academic Space category showed a deficit for Set B,

resulting in a higher ASF/FTE (56) for the combined Academic + Academic Support categories over

the CCHE Approved FTE-only set (52).

Section IX.G., Page 1 of 21

Page 135: VOLUME 3: SOUTHWEST COLORADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE – A ... Facilit… · Bryan Crawford, Director of Computer Services ... Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West

For SCCC West, guideline Academic Support Space and Auxiliary Space categories showed the

same surplus for both sets, yet the guideline Academic Space category showed a significantly lower

surplus for Set B, resulting in a higher ASF/FTE (155) for the combined Academic + Academic

Support categories over the CCHE Approved FTE-only (92), and a 36% difference in overall campus

master plan ASF.

Additional Conclusions: SCCC East Campus

The Set B SCCC East Space Needs Analysis for the Fall 2009 guidelines reported significantly

higher assignable square footage (ASF): combined Set B Classroom/Service and Teaching

Laboratory/Service was 23% higher compared to FTE-only. Likewise, student station occupancy

(SSO) utilizations (%) and building analysis (%) for Set B were higher on average for both

classrooms and teaching laboratories: Set B’s figures were 141% higher over FTE-only for

classrooms and 143% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories, with building analysis at 141%

higher over FTE-only for classrooms and 143% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.

Finally, utilization studies by Room Capacity showed Set B to be on average 161% higher over FTE-

only for classrooms and 72% on average higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.

Additional Conclusions: SCCC West Campus

The Set B SCCC West Space Needs Analysis for the Fall 2009 guidelines reported higher

assignable square footage (ASF): combined Set B Classroom/Service and Teaching

Laboratory/Service was 234% higher compared to FTE-only. Likewise, student station occupancy

(SSO) utilization figures for Set B were higher on average for both classrooms and teaching

laboratories: Set B’s figures were 74% higher over FTE-only for classrooms and 377% higher over

FTE-only for teaching laboratories, with building analysis at 24% higher over FTE-only for

classrooms and 294% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories. Finally, utilization studies by

Room Capacity showed Set B to be on average 21% higher for classrooms and 294% on average

higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.

The space needs analysis and utilizations for the Set B alternative enrollment for SCCC East

Campus and SCCC West Campus follow within this appendix.
