APPROVAL OF 2006 FACILITIES MASTER PLAN - DISTRICTWIDE

In January 2006, the Board of Trustees commissioned Steinberg Architects to develop the 2006 Facilities Master Plan, which will serve to inform decision making related to the next phase of planning and construction (Board Report No. 06-1-2C).  Steinberg Architects has made presentations related to the Facilities Master Plan in April, May and June (Board Reports No. 06-4-2C, 06-5-7C and 06-06-100B). 

The facilities master planning effort proceeded as planned.  Steinberg Architects completed their review of previously completed physical assessments and analysis, site visits, multiple meetings with College constituent groups and open forums to identify and incorporate educational programmatic needs, identified issues that require creative solutions, developed options, reviewed the options with our college communities, and identified the final solutions that comprise the 2006 Facilities Master Plan.

The 2006 Facilities Master Plan will be the basis of capital construction projects in the coming years.  It is attached to this report.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board approve the 2006 Facilities Master Plan.
