Presentation of Environmental Scan, Enrollment Analysis, Utilization and Space Needs Analysis

North Seattle Community College

April 2007

North Seattle Community College Environmental Scan •north seattle area is growing at slower rate than state & king county •overall the state & the county are growing older & more diverse •percentage of low-income households in north seattle & sw snohomish county is growing •level of education in north seattle is higher than state & county average Report by Paulien & Associates, Inc. 2

North Seattle Community College Environmental Scan •north seattle residents are mostly employed in white collar occupations that mirror occupational makeup of puget sound & king county •north seattle will continue to experience positive job growth •job base of residents employed in north seattle and sw snohomish county is becoming less diverse Report by Paulien & Associates, Inc. 3

North Seattle Community College Enrollment Projections • general population growth & aging of population will impact enrollment trends • increasing diversity of residents & population growth of lower-income households indicates need for workforce training programs • more diverse student body indicates need for expanded student services; better access & orientation • projected enrollment growth to 2010 of 500 FTE, from 3,503 to 4,060 Report by Paulien & Associates, Inc. 4

• On average, approximately 25% of space on a community college campus is academic space (classrooms and teaching laboratories) • Academic space is 37% of total ASF at NSCC • Student Center and Physical Education & Recreation space is 17% of total ASF

Classroom and Laboratory Utilization Definitions

Student Station Occupancy – The average percentage of seats filled when the room is in use. Weekly Room Hours – The total hours of all courses meeting in a room in a one week period

•

Average for all classrooms

 78% or more classrooms in use between 9:00 am – 11:00 am  Highest percentage (83%) in use at 10:00 am  Opportunity for significant additional use between 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm each day North Seattle Community College Classroom Use Analysis

Utilization Expectations for NSCC

  32 hours per week 65% student station occupancy (SSO)  23 ASF/station •

Slight excess in quantity of rooms and total stations on campus

Guideline ASF developed from institutional parameters of future enrollments, staffing, and program changes

Report by Paulien & Associates, Inc. 14

Space Needs Analysis Summary

•

Deficits total about 24,000 ASF at the target year with category surpluses of about 11,000 ASF resulting in a net deficit of about 13,000 ASF

•

Inactive/conversion spaces could be renovated to reduce deficits in other areas

•

Net Deficit at target year is 1,841 ASF if Inactive/ conversion space is factored into the equation

•

Employment Resource Center was not factored into the analysis.
