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

• Average for all classrooms
 78% or more classrooms in
use between 9:00 am –
11:00 am

than guideline suggests more
stations could be added to
classrooms
• Weekly room hour (WRH)
average of 27 as compared to
guideline expectation of 32 WRH
