Facilities Master Planning

MAAS 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 our team 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.

• Review and assess facilities/physical plant, parking, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, ingress and egress corridors, ADA corridors and open space requirements for each of the campuses of the District.
• Review and assess pertinent documents of the District's that are related to the existing planning process, including, but not limited to, the following:
  • Strategic Capital Projects Plan
  • Integrated Educational Master Plan
  • Technology Plan
  • Five Year Capital Construction Plan
  • Scheduled Maintenance Plan
• In concert with the District, establish a Steering Committee to work with MAAS throughout the entire master planning process.
• Develop a process for College-wide participation and input including the following:
  • On-campus interviews with administrators, faculty, staff and students
  • Written response opportunities for faculty and staff via Unit Planning Guide input surveys
  • Written response opportunities for administrative and academic and support services dean/director level staff via Trends/ Projection surveys
  • College-wide presentations with open dialogue feedback opportunities
• Organize and facilitate on-campus meetings with the Steering Committee.
• Determine development potential at all educational sites of the District.
• Develop - with the District's administrators, faculty, staff and students - planning and design alternatives that will lead to conceptual designs/plans for the District and its College campuses/educational centers.
• Identify project priorities and cost estimates for new construction, reconstruction and renovation projects.
• Identify infrastructure needs and costs for rehabilitation and/or upgrades.
• Develop a plan for phasing and implementation.
• Determine and implement the financing plan/strategy and establish performance and accounting monitoring mechanisms.
• Conduct all production and postproduction work that will lead to the generation of a finished Facilities Master Plan that can be used as a qualifying document to access the District's funding sources.
