Facilities Master Plan

Introduction

As a part of Green River Community College’s overall plan to improve its facilities and service to students and the communities it serves, the college has developed this Facilities Master Plan (FMP). The recent completion of the Technology and Science building projects, the construction of the HS complex replacement facility (Salish Hall), along with anticipated funding to renovate the SMT building and replace the Trades complex provides the college the opportunity to redefine a significant portion of the campus. The master plan incorporates future renovations, replacement, and growth projects for funding over the next several State of Washington funding cycles. In addition to planning for future development, master planning work has also established conceptual criteria for a variety of campus planning, infrastructure, and environmental topics. The primary goal of this master plan is to provide a tool that will assist GRCC with its decisions regarding ongoing and emergent facilities development issues. .

A framework for an ongoing master plan process is in place that describes participants, a communication plan with biennial reviews and updates as the college plans and facility needs evolve. The Facilities Master Plan Core Committee facilitates discussions with faculty, staff, administration, students, community members, regulatory agencies, and the Board of Trustees and provides leadership and guidance to maintain a responsive and viable facilities master plan.

The committee periodically develops plan revisions that respond to changing needs and create facilities that support evolving institutional goals.
