Preamble: Facilities Planning is an expensive and long-term proposition. By the time the new Public Safety Training Center is completed in 2002, SRJC, during past eighteen years (18), will have spent in excess of $100,000,000 on capital projects The annual impact on the general fund, new projects only, has averaged nearly $3,000,000 in local funds. Current value of thirteen (13) future construction projects listed on the Five Year Plan totals $144,599,000.00. This list does not include infrastructure improvements, parking, remodels/rehabs nor scheduled maintenance and hazardous materials disposal projects.

A. New Facilities: Expensive and More Complex

B. Santa Rosa Campus: Old infrastructure/land-locked

C. Petaluma/North County: Growth Impacts

D. Technology v Bricks & Mortar

E. Staffing: Additional Facilities = More Staffing

F. Parking: Shortage/Location/Self-Support

G. Funding: Multiple Millions

A. State Priorities:

1. Safety

2. Growth

3. Infrastructure

4. Deficit Reduction

B. Capacity/Load Ratios Drive Eligibility: A capacity/load ratio less than 100% indicates a project may be eligible for State funding. The State evaluates project funding based on the primary space use. Hence, the State will look at the Library capacity/load ratios first for a new library, etc. For Santa Rosa and Petaluma, the following are the current capacity/load ratios for specific space functions:

Hence, the planning emphasis for Petaluma II is on laboratory (weekly student contact hour capacity to actual and projected WSCH) and library/media (square footage capacity (ASF) to projected square footage space need). The Santa Rosa Library is driven by shortages in library and media space.

I. PURPOSE: To provide much needed space for the Santa Rosa campus library and media services operations. Current Plover Library was designed to accommodate 12,500 studentpopulation (1970) with 30,050 asf. Modern, larger learning resource center will address 30,000 student population within 95,769 asf (143,005 gross square feet).

II. STATUS: Chancellor’s Office has recommended to the Board of Governors that the Santa Rosa Library be funded in the 2001/2002 Governor’s budget. If funded, preliminary drawings would commence in July 2001. In theory, the library would be constructed and occupied in 2005 IF there are sufficient construction funds available.

III. COST: Total project cost = $36,256,000.00. (SRJC share = $4 million)

4. FEATURES (SYNOPSIS):

A. 1200 reader stations (current 522)

B. 155,000 volume collection capacity

C. Full media production studio

D. Full technology support for interactive instruction and learning

E. Increased media viewing, assembly and teleconference space

F. Art Exhibit Gallery

G. Permanent home for tutorial services

H. Teaching Laboratories offering latest instructional technologies

I. Group Study Rooms

J. Information (Computer) Commons (13,000 sf)

K. Writing Center

L. Periodicals Reading Room

M. Reserve Reading Room

N. Media Lab

O. Television Production Studio

P. Archives and Special Collections Reading Room

4. ISSUES:

A. Library/Media Services Capacity Ratios (big current deficits).

B. Analy Relocatables: What to do during construction?

C. Plover Student Service Center: Secondary effect, no current funding

D. Staffing (library/technical/facilities support)

E. Construction Cost: Will State fund what we need?

F. SRJC Share: From where does it come?

I. PURPOSE: To provide adequate and appropriate student, faculty and staff parking at all SRJC permanent sites (Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Public Safety Training Center at Windsor).

II. STATUS: Parking is an issue at all three permanent SRJC locations. The Santa Rosa campus is "land-locked" with little or no room to expand; Petaluma requires more parking to service growth in theDay program and the parking fund has been required to fund $550,000 for parking and roadway infrastructure at the Windsor PSTC site. It is anticipated the new class schedule will further exacerbate parking problems at both Santa Rosa and Petaluma (decreased turnover rates). The current operation is based on a 4:1 turnover ratio and it is anticipated to drop to 3:1 or below). The current Parking and Transportation Plan utilizes a combination of on-site flat surface parking and shuttle lots, subsidized bus passes and car pooling cost reductions along with the encouragement of bicycle use to help accommodate student, faculty and staff needs.

A. Parking operations and facilities receive no State nor local general .fund support. It is a completely self-funded effort.

B. Fees charged do not keep up with facilities needs and operational costs combined. Current fees equate to 46 cents per day.

C. Student, faculty and staff driving/parking habits continue to reflect California commute practices.

D. There are 2747 student spaces at Santa Rosa (including shuttle lot) and 9,000 semester decals are sold. Additionally in excess of 1,000 daily permits are sold at the Santa Rosa campus.

E. Multi-level parking structures are very expensive ($10k to $12k per space) and would add to internal and external traffic density problems.

A. Additional revenues are required to support Parking and Transportation improvements.

B. Need much improved service and utilization of shuttle lot operation. Do we consider assigning some staff (stnc/part-time) to shuttle lot?

C. Consider the modification of existing reserved lot operations (i.e. go to a campus wide reserved lot "scramble system" where no

faculty or staff are assigned to a specific parking lot but where parking is utilized on a 1^st come, 1^st serve basis in campus staff reserved lots. This may alleviate concerns about "fairness" and lack of flexibility. For Campus Police, the current specific lot assignment process is extremely difficult to administer and questions of exemptions and equity abound.

D. Acquire more land near campus to construct flat surface parking.

E. Provide further incentives for utilization of alternative forms of transportation (i.e. increased subsidization for bus passes, car pools, bicycles and scooters).

F. Explore cooperative programs such as were suggested as part of CityVision where SRJC and City develop downtown tram system to and from SRJC to specific venues (including parking structures) downtown.

I. PURPOSE: Two-fold justification based on need to expand program capacity in southern Sonoma County and to provide a balanced campus for the Petaluma educational program. Planned expansion is from 64,000 gross square feet to 128,000 sf. Planned emphasis on development of full-sized library, multiple laboratories and student service space.

II. STATUS: Though thought to be a high priority capacity project for the State, currently there are no short-term funding possibilities in view.

III. COSTS: $36,393,000.00 (SRJC share = $3.6 million)

A. Increase lecture space by 2,748 asf (200ss+/6400 WSCH)

B. Increase of 12 laboratories (20,000 sf) including: physical science, engineering, life science, language acquisition, multi-media production, telecommunications, computer aided design, computer application and business office technology, basic skills, culinary arts, mathematics, library media laboratories.

C. 22,000 sf full-service library/learning resource center (current Mahoney is 6,000 sf)

D. Full infrastructure for distance/interactive learning program.

E. First increment development of full Health Services facility.

D. Expansion of current undersized Student Services space

E. Addition of Student Activities (1700 sf) space.

F. Expanded locally funded bookstore

G. Construction of small (8,900 sf) physical education space

H. Development of small (5,500 sf) child care/development facility

I. Creation of sufficient (7,200 sf) facilities operation space

J. Additional parking

K. Increased faculty and administrative support office space

How do we accommodate growth in the interim since no additional facilities for five (5) to seven (7) years?

Staffing Support: Will require major increases in full and part-time instructional, student service and support staff.

Budget Impacts: In addition to functional costs, operations support (utilities, staff, etc) will increase dramatically.

SRJC Construction Share: Further impact on general fund reserves

Will State fund what we need?

I. PURPOSE: To provide modern, program specific, replacement public safety Training facilities lost at Los Guilucos and Two Rock.

Total project cost (land acquisition, design, construction, testing, inspection and equipment) is in excess of $14,000,000. SRJC’s share is $1.7 million.

A. Classroom/laboratory/activity space to accommodate approximately 6,000 students per year.

B. Scenario Village developed to assist future law enforcement and safety personnel in realistic training scenarios including domestic violence, bank robberies, etc.
