UPDATE OF 2006 FACILITIES MASTER PLAN - DISTRICTWIDE

In January, the Board of Trustees commissioned Steinberg Architects to develop the 2006 Facilities Master Plan, which will serve to inform decision-making related to the next phase of planning and construction (Board Report No. 06-1-2C).  This Facilities Master Plan will be the outcome of many months of planning, participation by all constituent groups, Trustee feedback, physical assessment and analysis of existing campus facilities, and incorporation of educational programmatic needs. 

The master planning effort is proceeding as planned.  Steinberg Architects has completed their review of previously completed physical assessments and analysis, site visits, multiple meetings with College constituent groups and open forums.  These activities have laid a solid foundation upon which goals of the facilities master plan have been developed, along with identification of issues that require creative solutions.  Steinberg Architects’ presentation of their work completed to date will provide the first opportunity to solicit Trustee feedback and direction. 

Upcoming meetings with College constituencies and open forums will continue in the coming months.  Options will be reviewed and preferred solutions identified.  Steinberg Architects will present another update at the May meeting of the Board of Trustees, and then again in June.  By July, the master plan development process will be completed, and the 2006 Facilities Master Plan will be ready for adoption.
