77 and the extent to which these are met; and the integration of medium‐ and long‐term planning with the College budget cycle. The outcomes of all of these processes, in addition, need to be considered holistically, through an iterative process dedicated to continuous improvement. Curry College 2012 Self-Study Standard Seven
78 Standard Eight: Physical and Technological Resources Description Facilities Curry College’s main campus in Milton comprises 49 buildings, including 18 residence halls, and is located on 135 acres. Most buildings are brick, and the campus is attractively landscaped with grass, trees, flowers, and planned walking paths in open and wooded areas, with protected wetlands separating the north and south sides. The residence halls include single, double, and triple rooms, as well as suites, that are equipped with beds, desks and storage space. Each residence hall has lounges for study and leisure. The actual capacity of the residence halls is 1,457 beds, but the preferred capacity is 1,405. Currently, the residence halls are occupied at 95.5% of the preferred capacity. In all, the Milton site has 39 general‐purpose classrooms (or alternative learning spaces used for classes) accommodating 1,294 seats in 26,249 assignable square feet (asf). In addition, there is one large lecture hall with 100 seats. There are five main classroom buildings: Academic and Performance Center (AAPC), Hafer Academic Building, Kennedy Academic Building, Levin Library, and the Science building. In addition, the Gertrude Webb Learning Center, comprising almost 13,000 square feet of mixed‐use classroom/office space, houses the Assistive Technology and Accommodations (AT) Center, as well as the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL). Levin Library also provides teaching, learning and study space, along with additional office and meeting space. The College opened a modern Student Center in 2009, equipped with a dining hall, student lounges, a bookstore, mail room, copy center, fitness center, chapel, offices for Student Services and Athletics, and a gymnasium to accommodate basketball and volleyball. A second gymnasium accommodates intramurals and other campus functions. In addition to classroom buildings, there are 17 buildings spread throughout the campus buildings that house faculty and staff offices. clviii Recreational spaces are located throughout the campus. Athletic fields are available for football, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, softball, and other sports, while tennis courts serve students at both ends of the campus. In addition, maintained walking trails and sidewalks traverse the North and South areas of campus. Curry has improved its parking facilities in the past decade by adding and redesigning several parking areas. Twenty four on‐campus parking areas, some of which are designated for specific use/populations, now accommodate a total of 2,029 cars. First‐year students are not allowed to park cars on campus and efforts have been made to encourage upper‐class students to walk, ride bicycles or take the shuttle around campus to keep traffic at a minimum and cut down on unnecessary emissions. The Plymouth campus has 10,935 square feet of leased space within a single building situated Curry College 2012 Self-Study Standard Eight
