Direct Connection to Policy Area 6 of The Illinois Commitment After the Fire: The Blair Hall Reconstruction Eastern Illinois University What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? In April, 2004, the third oldest building on campus, Blair Hall, was destroyed by fire. The multi-million dollar effort to rebuild, reconstruct, remodel and expand the structure within guidelines that preserved or improved upon the original architecture of the building was completed in a mere 24 months. Originally built in 1913, the building Hall housed academic, administrative, and faculty offices for 65 staff and classrooms serving the campus community. The fire and damage from the water necessary to extinguish the fire destroyed all but the exterior walls, foundation and main interior supporting walls. Highest among the immediate goals were to quickly provide suitable temporary locations for faculty and staff and reschedule class locations. Highest among the long-term goals was to reconstruct the damaged building to get dislocated programs back to campus as quickly as possible. Description of the effective practice: All affected faculty, staff and programs were provided temporary locations within 24 hours of the fire. The $10- million reconstruction cost included interior renovation, exterior restoration and a small new addition, providing 34,000 square feet of space to comfortably house university classrooms, the Graduate School, Office of International Programs, the Grants and Research Office, School of Adult and Continuing Education, General Counsel's Office, Minority Affairs and offices for the Gateway Program on the building's first and second floors. The Sociology/Anthropology Department and African-American Studies occupy the third floor. The fire occurred on the afternoon of April 28, 2004. By May 4, reinforcing steel had been installed to stabilize the structure to prevent further damage and allow interior work to proceed. Exterior repairs began in June 2004. By June 2005, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were being installed. From July 2005 to April 2006, interior finishes were completed. On April 24, 2006, a rededication ceremony was held, announcing that the building was once again ready for occupancy. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The renovation of Blair Hall will provide current and future generations of faculty, staff, and students with a facility that is safer, more accessible, and more conducive to teaching and learning. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The successful completion of this project in near record time was due in no small part to the communication and cooperation exhibited by all parties involved, including university administration, faculty, staff and outside engineers, architects and contractors. The universally accepted goal of achieving a state-of-the-art facility that remained true to the architecture and heritage of the original 1913 structure was a driving factor in the project's success. The overwhelming success of this project has "raised the bar" when it comes to expectations for all future construction on EIU's campus.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 6 of The Illinois Commitment Alignment of Strategic Planning with AQIP Heartland Community College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The current cycle of strategic planning is concluding, presenting the opportunity to revise HCC’s Strategic Planning process to coordinate with its recent acceptance into the AQIP accreditation system. At the same time, the opportunity to develop a more meaningful internal program review process is afforded by the revisions in program review at the state level. College administration desired a more comprehensive but streamlined planning model that incorporated performance measures and aligned with both statewide and accreditation requirements. These factors lead to the development of this new model. Description of the effective practice: HCC’s new Strategic Planning and Institutional Effectiveness model revolves around Five Key Questions: • Why are we here? (Institutional mission, statewide goals, broad purposes) • What are we trying to accomplish? (College-wide goals, both operational and strategic, including strategies for measuring processes and outcomes; alignment with AQIP Categories) • How are we doing? (Collection of performance indicator data) • What does it mean? (Comparison to available historical and peer data and analysis of external and internal factors impacting the College) • Where are we going? (Identification of areas in need of improvement and new initiatives) How does this practice achieve sustainability? The model is in its first few months of use, but is designed to be applicable not only at the highest level of College planning but throughout the organization. The conceptual simplicity of this model has been well received and is adaptable to all levels of college operations. The model has been applied to the instructional program review process in response to the opportunity provided by ICCB’s statewide program review revisions and is being piloted by three programs for this year’s cycle. It is also being piloted internally by one noninstructional division as a model for evaluating departmental effectiveness. The five key questions can even be applied at the position or individual level as an alternative mechanism of personnel evaluation. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Widespread acceptance and usage of the model will indicate its applicability. It is also designed to coordinate with the budgeting process. If it happens as designed, it will have been successful.
