Vision, Mission
and Purpose
Vision
The Green River Community College Facilities Master
Plan is a collaborative process that develops long-range capital solutions
in response to evolving college needs.
Mission
Driven by the college’s
strategic
plan and using input from design consultants,
facility conditions surveys, life-cycle analysis,
instructional
and student services plans, and
IP planning efforts, evolving needs
are integrated into a long-range plan for facility replacement and growth.
Purpose
The capital budget provides funding for all Community
and Technical Colleges to maintain and preserve over 15 million square
feet of state- owned facilities, upgrade spaces to meet the changing
needs of students, local communities and business, and construct new
facilities to accommodate growth and accreditation requirements. This
document will buttress the College’s bi-annual funding request in the
state capital budget process.
As part of the budget process, colleges are required to submit capital
requests that support their most critical needs. These requests include
categories such as repairs, minor improvements, replacements, renovations,
and major new construction (growth). The State Board for Community and
Technical Colleges (SBCTC) prioritizes these requests and forwards them
to the Office of Financial Management (OFM) for consideration by the
executive branch. Design and construction funding through the SBCTC
system are appropriated on a biennial basis in odd-numbered years by
the state legislature.
The typical schedule is as follows:
First Biennium: Pre-Design Funding
Second Biennium: Design Funding
Third Biennium: Construction Funding.
The process from the decision to request funding to building occupation
takes about 6 years.
There is significant competition for state funding among applying colleges.
It is therefore imperative that this master plan accurately reflects
the needs of the college and receives the full support of students,
faculty, staff, and the communities we serve, as well as local and state
political leaders..
