Facilities Master Planning

Maas Companies, Inc. will provide services, assistance and guidance that will lead to the generation of a Facilities Master Plan for the College District, including proposed educational centers of the future. The scope of work for the Facilities Master Plan will be clearly defined by Maas Companies, Inc. in consultation with the District.

The activities proposed below are offered to clarify the process description/methodology relative to the facilities planning process. This brief summary assumes the District has a current and updated Educational Master Plan that is sufficient to support the Facility Master Planning effort and assumes that the District will work with our Master Planning Architect to provide all base reports (traffic study, engineering, surveying, etc.) and survey data in a CAD format.
