Re: Master Plan - Phase 3 Report

Dear Mr. Slocum:

I understand that through a combination of your illness and Don DeStefanots illness, a letter in accepting the Master Plan as submitted by Ray Kelly, is not on file with your office. Please accept this letter as notification that Western has reviewed the Phase 3 Report completely and it has been accepted when it was received last spring, 1987.

Please refer any questions to Richard H. Sullivan, Administrative Vice President. A

SUBJECT: Project #BI-RD-75 - White Street Campus Repairs and Renovations

Dear D r . Beal:

In December 1983, Dober and Associates of Belmont, Massachusetts was retained by the CSU to recommend space requirements for azti,cipated improve- ments to the WCSU campus a t White Street. The f inal Dober report "Planning Study" dated: "Spring 1984" was i n our han& in September 1984.

Page 83 of that report l i s t ed Proj ected Needs - New Space needed to support existing programs in eight HEGIS categories of space totaling between 62,000 and 214,000 square feet.

The s ta f f a t CSU then asked us to furnish our own analysis which was completed i n December 1984. This analysis demonstrated a requirement of 140,000 square feet. Two subsequent reports supporting that assumption were submitted by us to the CSU s taff during the spring and s m e r of 1985.

William S. Fuller, Director of Facil i t ies Planning and Capital Budgeting for the B E , then made a study of space ut i l izat ion a t WCSU (December 11, 1985). After meetings with IqCSU s ta f f , D r . Fuller's report was completed and on April 3 , 1986 was forwarded to us by M r . Charles Slocum.

D r . Fuller addresses the space categories: 100 - Classrooms, 200 - Labora- tories and according to M r . Slocum, "clearly points out that - - needs can be accomplished within the confines of Higgins Hall - - using White Hall as temporary swing space. "

Since we are most anxious to see the completion of the architects master plan, we are willing t o accept Dr. Fuller's suggestions and proceed with the project. Ne are ~ r e ~ a r e d to recommend to the Bureau of Public Works that .the architect proceed as' Dr. Fuller suggests for the Classroom and Laboratory categories and on our estimate of space requirements i n the other categories as l i s t ed below:

Dal las K. Beal , President Connecticut State University P. 0. Box 2008 New Britain, CT 06050

Dear Dal las:

The Department of Higher Education has completed i t s review of Western Connecticut State University's academic planning assumptions t o be ut i l ized in support of faci l i t i es planning. The agreed-upon sumnary is enclosed.

May I suggest that we ask Tom Porter and Mark Johnson t o give us an appraisal of the WestConn experience and advise us on what lessons they have learned that can be applied t o the fac i l i t i es planning process a t t he other Connecticut State University campuses. The enclosed sumnary has some, good historical information, but I think we could make a greater contribution t o the f ac i l i t i e s planning process i f we placed greater emphasis on projecting future program trends, t o include possible areas of decl ine a s well a s growth. 1 know these a r e sensitive matte'rs, but we need t o consider both sides of t he equation if we a r e t o engage in meaningful planning.

We would l ike t o convey our special thanks t o Tom Porter and Phil Steinkrauss for their cooperation in th i s matter. It is our hope that based on the experience gained through the development of Western's master planning proce- dures, the deve l oprnent and approva l of academic planning assumptions for the other three campuses can proceed in a more timely manner.

I f you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me or Mark Johnson.

a. Program trends by credit hour production.

Underqraduate

Throughout the 1980s, the program category generating the largest number of student credit hours has been business.

The two top growth areas are business and computer/infomat ion sciences.

0 Other growth areas i n order of increase of credit hours generated from 1980-1 984 are: social sciences; pub1 i c affairs and protective services; mathematics; visual, communication and performing arts; and mu1 ti/interdiscipl inary studies.

The areas that have experienced the greatest decline are physical sciences (with the exception of options in physics, astronomy and meteorology) and educat i on.

Graduate

The two program categories that have generated the largest number of student credit hours throuqh the 1980s have been education and - busi ness.

Although there has been an overall decline in graduate level enrollments from 1980 and 1984, 1985 shows an increase i n part-time graduate enrollments, reflecting the university's efforts i n this direction.

I The following general areas have been identified for future program development at the undergraduate lwe I: business, computer/infomt ion sciences and the physical science opti om in astronomy and meterology.

At the graduate level, the top growth areas wi 1 l be nursing and education. Future program development has been identified in business, computer/infomt ion sciences and the health professions.
