Chesapeake College January 2012 Facilities Master Plan UpdateThe projected credit hour and contact hour data maintains existing ratios between credit hours and contact hours bydiscipline, as well as the established overall total percentage differences between lecture and laboratory contacthours. Again, Maryland space planning guideline applications were used to provide quantitative indicators of futurespace needs.Space needs and data relating to facilities refers to on-campus permanent buildings at Wye Mills Campus,Cambridge Center, and Memorial Hospital. However, because the single-building nature of the Cambridge andHospital sites and their unique purposes neither lend them to nor benefit from typical “campus-wide” guidelinesanalyses, their space needs will, for the most part, be addressed qualitatively. In order to most accurately reflectfacilities inventory needs, the primary focus of quantitative analyses is the Wye Mills Campus.The College anticipates student headcounts to be 21.4% higher in 2020 than current enrollments. With full-timestudent enrollments growing at a much more accelerated rate than part-time students coupled with emphasis onenhancing priority programs, Chesapeake expects a 21.2% increase in FTES and a 21.4% increase in FTDES overthe same ten-year period.Chesapeake has experienced higher rates of enrollment than anticipated in previous master plans. The 2007 Ten-Year Facilities Master Plan projected 21.7% enrollment growth from 2006-2016. Maryland Higher EducationCommission (MHEC) projected a 14.6% growth in headcount enrollment between 2006 and 2016. Actual 10-yeargrowth (2000-2010) was 35.2%.The most recent data provided by the Maryland Department of Planning projects population growth for ChesapeakeCollege’s five-county service area at 11.8% between 2010 and 2020. This growth exceeds the 8.7% projected forMaryland during the same period.MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING POPULATION PROJECTIONSIn addition, data supports a larger proportion of high school graduates seeking postsecondary educationalopportunities throughout the state. With acceptance rates at four-year institutions facing limited expansion, more andmore high school seniors are opting to begin their college career at Chesapeake. These, as well as demand for skillsin high-growth occupations previously discussed will continue to drive increases to the number of students attendingChesapeake College, especially full-time traditional students.Anticipated student population increases and the planned renovation of PE Building / CAHA will have a significantimpact on institutional space needs at Chesapeake College. The 2010 space inventory for Wye Mills, Cambridge andEaston collectively was 186,368 net assignable square feet (NASF). The College anticipates a corresponding 2020space inventory of 213,577 NASF as the base or supply against which the need, generated by the demand of futureenrollments, would be quantified.When space surpluses and deficits were computed as a result of comparing enrollment and staffing projectionsagainst the projected space inventory, the outcome was a projected 2020 overall space surplus of 29.200 NASF for3-12
Chesapeake College January 2012 Facilities Master Plan Updateall three sites, assuming that the proposed Center for Allied Health and Athletics project is complete. Quantitativeindicators do suggest immediate and long-term need for facilities to support the following space classifications atWye Mills (2020):Open Laboratory, Testing/Tutoring, Stack/Study, Greenhouse, Exhibition, Lounge, Meeting Rooms, Shop/Storage,Central ServicesComputation of space needs is summarized later in this chapter.In summary, space needs analysis is the process of estimating the needed supply of learning, support and resourcespace given a projected demand of academic programs, disciplines and student enrollments. Thus, space needsanalysis begins the transitioning from the language of academic planning to the language of facilities planning andmaster planning.NEED DETERMINANTSThe need for space via new or renovated facilities is typically calculated in terms of hours of instruction and thenumber of students, employees and library volumes to be accommodated.Gross projections of space need are based on an anticipated number of student enrollments, faculty and staff, andvolumes for fall semester 2020. For this master planning process, the enrollment assumption is that the projectedmix off academic disciplines maintains the program distributions for fall semester 2010.Space deficits and surpluses are identified based on the application of Maryland Higher Education Commission’sSpace Allocation Guidelines for Community Colleges (COMAR Title 13B) to inventories of various categories ofspace and projected student enrollments. However, guidelines are not to be used as the only determining factorwhen making decisions about facilities needs; a variety of qualitative or non-statistical indicators of space need, alongwith utilization analyses, offer augmentation to any statistical calculations.As previously stated, the primary focus of quantitative analyses of space needs will be Wye Mills Campus (“oncampus”).Because the single-building nature of the Cambridge and Hospital sites and their unique purposes neitherlend them to nor benefit from typical “campus-wide” guidelines analyses, their space needs will, for the most part, beaddressed qualitatively.ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONSHeadcount enrollments and full-time equivalent student (FTE or FTES) enrollments are the primary measures ofstudent population. Although the headcount is most commonly used when referring to enrollments, this measure isgenerally not used for facility planning purposes. The most generally accepted method of counting students for thepurposes of assessing facilities needs is the FTE. However, it is useful to analyze trends in headcount enrollments3-13
