Hillsborough Community College: Brandon Campus 3.9 Issues Identification for Master Plan 3.9.1 Sustainability Initiatives HCC has embraced the importance of sustainability throughout the system, and many new initiatives and programs are expected to be developed though the Master Plan time horizon. The College has established a Sustainability Council which is overseeing many of the campuswide initiatives, including compliance with the American College & University President’s Climate Commitment, which was signed by President Stephenson. Figure 3.9.a: The College has established a Sustainability Council which is overseeing many of the campus-wide initiatives. While the SouthShore Center is considered to be the flagship “green” campus within the HCC system, master planning and programming can be undertaken to improve the quality of sustainability and reduced carbon footprint at each campus in the system. For the Brandon Campus, access to multiple transit lines and a pedestrian-friendly environment create great opportunities to reduce resource use and improve the character and quality of sustainability at the campus. Some Considerations for the Master Plan include: - Consistent Educational Signage - Incentive Programs for Conservation - “Florida-friendly” Landscaping - Green Building Design - Pedestrian Improvements across the campus 3.9.2 Work Session with Campus Planning Committee One on-campus work session was conducted with the Campus Planning Committee on November 20, 2009. This section reviews the observations from these meetings. The members of the Campus Planning Team who attended the work session the Brandon Campus were as follows: - Dr. Carlos Soto, Campus President Figure 3.9.b: Access to multiple transit lines, and pedestrian-friendly environment create great opportunities to reduce resource use and improve sustainability at the campus. 2010 Master Plan 38
Hillsborough Community College: Brandon Campus - Sabrina Peacock, Business Technologies - Ellen Cangi, Associate of Arts - Richard Zaborosky, Facilities - Joe Bentrovato, Student Services - Maria Muniz, Campus President’s Office - Edwin Kelley, Campus Services The conversation focused on the changes observed since the adoption of the 2005 Master Plan for the campus. The primary focus areas discussed by the Master Planning Committee included Student Enrollment and Space Utilization, New Facilities and Reorganization, and Academic Programs. 3.9.2.1 Student Enrollment and Space Utilization Growth in the campus headcount has required optimizing utilization of current space on campus. Utilization of the existing facilities is very high, and enrollments for the upcoming semester are higher than expected. The campus is considering hiring more adjunct faculty and staggering class times in order to accompany more students while minimizing traffic congestion. The campus does experience a lull in the mid afternoons, while the campus is at full capacity in the morning and the evening. 3.9.2.2 New Facilities / Reorganization Since 2005, the Student Services Building has been completed, and has made a big impact on the ability to deliver services. The building is functioning well, and the campus is happy with the space. Other changes to be addressed during this Master Plan preparation include: - Head Start program has been removed from campus, and the property it occupied needs to be considered for reprogramming. - The HCC Brandon Campus has also ended its lease of the Pinebrooke Business Park Facilities - Continuing Education Programs are to be moved to the Ybor Campus - Building A6 from 2005 Master Plan is too large for funding mechanisms anticipated to be available. - Building A3 will no longer be a utilized as a community center; that use has been moved to a new facility on Bloomingdale. 3.9.2.3 Academic Programs The Campus Committee identified some programming changes that will need to be noted in the Campus Master Plan. These include the following: - Addition of a new Biotechnology Program - Engineering Manufacturing has been Changed to Engineering Technology - Continuing Education Programs are moving to HCC Ybor Campus 2010 Master Plan 39
