Goals
and Objectives
Goals:
The primary goals of the master
plan are to support the college
strategic plan through the physical
development of its campuses. Guided by established
Master Plan
Principles that reflect overarching college
values and goals, the following specific goals for this
2006 FMP update are:
- To reflect the college’s values
through its physical environment. Maintain the
existing character, architecture, natural
environment, and open spaces. The campus environment
should seek to enhance and improve the value and
quality of college facilities.
- To support the incorporation of
sustainable opportunities in main campus
development. Promote the conservations of natural
resources and energy in the construction,
maintenance, and operation of buildings.
- To plan for maximum flexibility
so that campus can adapt to the changing needs of
education. Facilities should seek to have a “long
life – loose fit.”
- To enhance the college’s
connections to and with its communities through its
physical plant, including the need for off-campus
sites to serve local community needs.
- To anticipate and fulfill
short-term instructional needs while planning for
long-term academic programs.
- To avoid waste and disruption
resulting from piecemeal projects.
- To establish a realistic
schedule and capital budgeting plan.
- To enhance fund raising and
development opportunities by improving the image of
the college in the community.
- To provide a healthy safe
accessible place for learning.
Physical Planning Objectives:
The master plan established a series of physical
objectives. These fall into the following general
areas.
- New construction projects to be developed via the SBCTC funding process for growth, renovation, and
replacement projects.
- New construction projects to be developed via the
COP (certificate of participation) funding
mechanism.
- Development of the northern end of the main campus
including consideration of buildings, parking,
college identity and gateway development.
- Main campus infrastructure improvements including
parking, IT/Telecom, and lighting.

enhance the physical environment for students, the
