Buildings are at capacity: Since buildings expanded and constructed with 1986 bond, the population has grown by 41%

Noise conflicts in many locations

Parking lots often crowded

NEEDS ASSESSMENT SUMMARY

Electrical distribution difficult Electrical/data capacity maxed out

Noise conflicts

Buildings at capacity
