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:

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.

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.
