I.B. GENERAL PROCESS USED TO DEVELOP THE PLAN Refer to Part One, “Introduction / Planning Process” in Volume 1.
I.C. STUDENT / FACULTY / STAFF INVOLVEMENT The consultants met with PCC’s Vice President of Administration and Finance, Director of Facilities
Services, and the respective Campus Deans in assessing the present facilities for both the East
Campus and the West Campus of Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC) and discussed
planned construction projects. The consultants also drew from past direct involvement with the East
Campus’ Program Plan efforts in late winter/early spring of 2010, and direct involvement with the
West Campus’ Facility Audit, currently being produced at this writing, as well as site design and
documents for SCCC West produced in spring/summer of 2009. During these periods, the
consultants met with numerous faculty members and staff in evaluating program and building needs
for respective academic program offerings. For the SCCC East Campus, this has resulted in the
April 2010 publishing of the Program Plan for a new campus facility.
I.D. COMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT The consultants’ past direct involvement with the SCCC West Campus included phone interviews
and a meeting with the County of Montezuma Planning Department to ascertain site development
guidelines proposed for the county’s updated zoning ordinance documents, during the period leading
up to the merger in 2009. The Mancos Fire Protection District Office and Colorado Department of
Transportation were also consulted for guidelines concerning the SCCC West property.
I.E. ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
Pueblo Community College and the SCCC West Campus Dean have reviewed information with the
consultants regarding the status of the property with the Bureau of Land Management in determining
appropriate site use.
I.F. OVERVIEW OF CONCLUSIONS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF THE MASTER PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE AND SCCC WEST SITE Southwest Colorado Community College, a division of Pueblo Community College At this writing, in consideration of the respective conclusions reached during the reporting period of
this Facilities Master Plan for both SCCC campus sites, PCC is reviewing the consolidating of
administrative expenses and resources being assigned to SCCC, not specific to either East or West
INTRODUCTION / PLANNING PROCESS
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section I., Page 2
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
campus sites, in creating a more regional focus. This direction is to solidify and support SCCC’s
program strengths in their vocational, business and technology offerings, and assure delivery of
resources to the classroom in service to their five-county region service area. More information on
this development is covered in Sections II.B., V., and VIII.
SCCC East Site (also referred to as SCCC East Campus) In the baseline year Fall 2009, 278 FTE students received instruction at the SCCC East Campus,
housed in leased space at the Commons Building. With a focus on providing specific health
professions and first responder programs relative to their location and the resort-style economy,
modest growth is projected for Fall 2014, that 296 FTE students will be receiving instruction at the
SCCC East Campus – an increase of nearly 6.5%. The space needs analysis shows the campus is
operating in space at over 36% deficiency to meet existing enrollment and nearly 48% deficiency for
target projections for Fall 2014. As the campus is located in a downtown landlocked leased building,
building inventory, student and faculty amenities, and appropriate utility infrastructure for the
academic programs are very limited or inadequate, with additional life safety concerns, which have
directly impacted building use and space availability. The base year of Fall 2009 revealed low room
use on average, student station occupancy (SSO) utilization of academic spaces, namely 29% for
classroom use, and 40% for teaching laboratory use, which are both below the state guideline
targets of 68% and 80% respectively. Room capacity studies identified 33% on average use for the
larger classroom (21-30 capacity), while the larger teaching laboratory space (21-30 capacity)
reported over target guideline utilization at 88%. The space needs analysis revealed a small surplus
in academic space, 464 ASF, but a relatively large deficit in academic support space at (3,888) ASF,
as well as a (710) ASF deficit in auxiliary functions, translating into an overall campus deficit of
(4,134) ASF for Fall of 2009, and a further overall campus deficit of (5,735) ASF for Fall of 2014. As
the present lease is due to expire June of 2012, the College has been reviewing their lease options.
The priority physical response to the College’s mission, vision, space needs analysis, and utilization
for this site will focus on acquiring additional leased space within the existing building and associated
parking within the Master Plan period. Improving the existing physical space to meet life safety
criteria and likewise utilization for academic space are critical, particularly to overall campus safety
and operations. A program plan to address physical needs in the framework of revised operations to
include developing a more robust online delivery program in lieu of physical additions, will be
likewise critical for identifying needs beyond the planning period, taking into account the present
three year lease agreement and future outreach strategies for the SCCC East Site.
SCCC West Site (also referred to as SCCC West Campus) In the baseline year Fall 2009, 168 FTE students received instruction at the SCCC West Campus.
With an outreach focus on career tech-emphasis for concurrent enrollment program offerings relative
to their rural location, relative large growth is projected for Fall 2014, that 336 FTE students will be
receiving instruction – an increase of 100%. The current large 40 acre rural site is able to offer a
wide variety of programs, from general education transfer courses, to mining, oil and gas
exploration, welding, nurse aide, cosmetology and first responder programs. The base year of Fall
2009, following the merger, revealed low room use, low utilization overall with 31% classroom
building use and even lower 14% teaching laboratory, though one building, Building ‘A’ reported over
target (68%) utilizations at 75% and 87% for its two classrooms, Room A2 and A1. Utilizations for
room capacity among the four active academic building showed low utilizations for most of the
classrooms generally low at 38% average, excepting one room with 21-30 capacity showing the
highest use at 75%. Room capacity for teaching laboratory spaces was likewise low, with only 16%
utilization average for 20 and under capacity, whose room size averages 3,604 ASF; this number
includes the traditional high bay spaces. Space needs analysis reported an overall surplus of 32,822
ASF building space, which is clearly available for future growth, and reduced to 18,334 ASF for Fall
of 2014. Documented deficits in Fall of 2009 included: 412 ASF for Library/Resource space, 83 ASF
for Assembly / Exhibit space, and 321 ASF for other Administrative space. The physical response to
the College’s mission, vision, space needs analysis and utilization studies will focus on providing life

safety upgrades to building, meeting the concerns of code-compliant site and building accessibility,
problematic soil movement, and building maintenance. These are high priorities with the Facilities
Master Plan. Future plans beyond the planning period will need to study the impact of anticipated
growth for the SCCC West Site, particularly re-evaluating the life safety and utilization of academic,
academic support, administrative and auxiliary spaces, in addition to the impacts on current campus-
wide infrastructure and parking. These plans will need to consider providing adequately sized
spaces to support larger occupant loads, particularly in response to the SCCC strategic planning and
consolidation of resources.
The Master Plan for Pueblo Community College will have a profound impact for Southwest Colorado
Community College. As both the SCCC East Campus and the SCCC West Campus are in a
transitioning phase in their roles within SCCC as well as with the SCCC Pagosa Springs site, the
Master Plan will serve to guide program planning and facility physical changes. SCCC will be
involved in the process of reviewing, challenging and updating the plan to meet needs as each site’s
demographics, programs, and facilities evolve. The Master Plan is intended to assure goals and
physical developments are aligned with Pueblo Community College’s mission and vision statements.

II. PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – GENERAL II.A. INSTITUTION ROLE, MISSION AND VISION Refer to Section II.A., “Institution Role”, Volume 1.
MISSION Pueblo Community College’s mission is to foster higher learning, student success, and service to our
communities. VISION Pueblo Community College is a premier teaching institution providing students assured success
pathways to relevant and progressive career, transfer, and personal growth opportunities. II.B. HISTORY Note: The history of Pueblo Community College is being included in this narrative for context, followed by narratives specific to each SCCC Site. Pueblo Community College traces its origins to 1933 when Southern Colorado Junior College was
incorporated. In 1937, local citizens made a commitment to support the institution with county taxes
and organized the Pueblo County Junior College district; and the institution was renamed Pueblo
Junior College.
The Pueblo Junior College District was dissolved in 1961, and in 1963 Colorado’s General Assembly
enacted legislation to change the status of Pueblo Junior college to a four-year, degree-granting
institution governed by the Board of Trustees for State Colleges. The college named Southern
Colorado State College (SCSC), offered educational programs at two campuses, including the
Orman Avenue campus (the current Pueblo Campus) and the Belmont Campus located at the
northern end of Pueblo (Colorado State University-Pueblo).
The Southern Colorado Junior College administration, community and state agencies saw the need
for additional secondary, post secondary, and adult vocational training in the southern Colorado
area. Most of the Orman campus buildings had a vocational orientation, and the decision to
revitalize the campus as a vocational-technical training center was based on both past programs and
functional accommodations. In 1974, Southern Colorado State College gave the name College for
Community Services and Career Education to the vocational activities located on the Orman
Campus.
Southern Colorado Junior College was granted university status (University of Southern Colorado) in
1975, when the Colorado General Assembly passed a bill clarifying legislation that would allow the
University of Southern Colorado to operate the College for Community Services and Career
Education as a technical community college. This change was made to enable the programs to be
eligible for state and federal vocational funds within the state’s Community college and Vocational
System.
In 1978, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 81 which transferred governance of the
University of Southern Colorado from the Trustees of State Colleges and University Consortium to
the State Board of Agriculture, effective July 1, 1978. Senate Bill 81 also separated the institution
into two autonomous entities. The bill stipulated that a two-year technical college (Pueblo Vocational
Community College) was to be separated from the University of Southern Colorado and transferred
to the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) no later than
July 1, 1980. Pueblo Vocational Community College became a State System Community College
PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW - GENERAL
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section II., Page 5
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
on July 1, 1979. On October 29, 1979 the College was granted NCA accreditation at the associate
degree-granting level.
On July 1, 1982 the name was officially changed to Pueblo Community College, and the College
began moving towards becoming a comprehensive community college. The mission of the
Community Colleges of Colorado system is “to offer a broad range of general, personal, vocational,
and technical education programs to fill the occupational needs of youth and adults in technical and
vocational fields, to provide two-year transfer educational programs to quality students for admission
to the junior year at other colleges and universities, and to provide a broad range of programs of
personal and vocational education for adults”. With this mission in place, Pueblo Community
College had full support when the college moved from being a vocational school to become a
comprehensive community college that emphasized both vocational and transfer degree programs.
Upon the recommendation of the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education,
the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) assigned to Pueblo Community College, in
February 1988, a five-county service area, that included the counties of Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata,
Montezuma and San Juan. Also serving these counties were Fort Lewis College (FLC), a public
liberal arts baccalaureate institution based in Durango, and San Juan Technical College (SJTC), a
provider of vocational training at the certificate level based in Cortez/Mancos. At the time, Pueblo
Community College entered into an agreement with San Juan Basin Technical School (SJBTS) and
the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE): “… ‘to develop and deliver the necessary academic support courses and the ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing and electronic programs.’ ”. This established a College presence in Cortez/Mancos area, Colorado
and formed the Southwest Center, which later added degree programs in Durango, Colorado.
General education courses were offered at Cortez/Mancos for the students who were preparing to
get into the second level of the Nursing Program, and nursing courses were offered in
Cortez/Mancos and Durango. Because PCC was the only regionally accredited institution of higher
education offering general education courses in the five-county area, La Plata County students
began enrolling in courses to prepare for transfer to a four-year college, and the Durango campus
steadily grew. When the Cortez/Mancos site started in Spring of 1988, the FTE was 36.33, and the
Fall FTE was 44.5. Since that time, the Cortez/Mancos site FTE has experienced a fluctuation in
enrollment, but nonetheless steady growth.
In July of 2009, a historic merger between PCC and SJTC upon recommendation of the State Board
created Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC), with the Durango site indentified as the
East Campus, and the Mancos site as the West Campus. Growth is expected with the fact that PCC
can now offer a variety of vocational offerings. A new Cosmetology program was recently
introduced at the Mancos site in the Spring of 2010.
The merger brought about a realignment of programs, and afforded the SCCC East campus a
variety of certificate and degree offerings: Health fields such as Nursing, Radiologic Technology,
and Respiratory Care, as well as a Police Officer Selection Test (POST) Certified Law Enforcement
Academy, transfer degrees that include an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of
General Studies with an emphasis area in Criminal Justice, Business Management, and Early
Childhood Education, the second year of the Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical
Services, which will prepare students for jobs that require certification as an advanced paramedic.
The merger’s impact for the SCCC West campus has brought a variety of program offerings as well:
Certified Nurse Aide, Cosmetology, transfer degrees including an Associate of Arts, Associate of
Science and Associate of General Studies. The campus intends to build a training base for
specialized computer skills.

The next phase for Pueblo Community College / Southwest Colorado Community College’s history is
to examine the current structures of each campus site to determine best use and fit for Academic
programs and strategies to offset Physical Plant impairments, as reported by the College during this
Master Plan reporting period. With mounting operational costs, the consolidation of resources and
administrative expenses will benefit students and operations. SCCC will continue to work with PCC
for expanded and new program development and online offerings. Continuation of discussions and
collaborative efforts with Fort Lewis College is vital to assure that student and transcript transfer to
FLC is seamless. Outreach through Concurrent Enrollment programs with area high school students
will provide college coursework and special training towards certificate and future employment.
Finally, SCCC will plan to explore opportunities to offer non-credit continuing education courses and
seminars for local area residents, including those residents in outlying county regions.
Author’s note: Appendices A., B., C., D., E., and F. address the elements of utilization, building inventory, enrollment trends for both campus sites, as well as former program plan study for SCCC East Site, and are found throughout this document.

III. PROGRAM / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – SCCC EAST SITE III.A. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMS OR PROGRAM TYPES Southwest Colorado Community College operates as a division of Pueblo Community College.
Program offerings for transfer degrees and specialty training have been in place when the formerly-
named Pueblo Community College Southwest Center (Durango / Cortez / Pagosa Springs) was
established in response to the need for higher education and skilled labor in this region of the state.
Since that time and with the 2009 merger to create SCCC, the College has been able to expand
their programs, particularly in the health fields.
Pueblo Community College is a comprehensive community college offering a range of career and
educational programs. SCCC East Campus offers transfer Associate Degree and Certificate
programs in the following:
Associate of Arts (AA): General, Early Childhood Education, Business Management
Associate of Science (AS): General
Associate of General Studies (AGS): (transfer with advisement) General, Criminal Justice
Associate of Applied Science (AAS): (transfer with advisement) Early Childhood Education,
Nursing, Respiratory Care, Radiologic Technology, Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic
Certificate Programs: Law Enforcement Academy, Early Childhood Education – Group Leader and
Director, Emergency Medical Technician – Basic and Intermediate, Criminal Justice – Corrections /
Adult; Corrections / Juvenile; Criminal Justice Process; Criminal Justice System; Criminal Justice
Core
III.B. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT POLICIES AFFECTING FACILITIES i. Admissions Refer to Part II.D., under Volume I for admission policies.
ii. Housing There is no housing policy, as the SCCC East Campus is a commuter campus and has no housing.
iii. Student Services SCCC East is supported by the Student Services Division at the Pueblo Campus, although SCCC
East campus does provide some student services including admissions, financial aid, and advising
through their Go!Zone, one-stop enrollment center and bookstore.
iv. Campus Parking Parking is provided under the lease agreement with the Commons Building on a count per square
footage of leased space. Parking is provided as an on-site parking lot; tenants are provided parking
stickers and lot monitoring for the building. SCCC East has approximately 36 assigned spaces. The
College is presently working with the leasing management of the Commons Building to acquire
additional space. It has been reported that there have been recent conflicts with neighboring
buildings over parking, which is common throughout the central business district in Durango.
PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section III., Page 8
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
As part of the campus parking evaluation, the consultants have prepared the “Student on Campus”
chart (see Appendix A.) based on Fall 2009 headcount. This study was also factored into the
preparation of the space utilization analyses, covered in Section IV.C. Based on this study, the
average peak period of student building use over the course of the week occurred at 10 AM with an
average count of 77 students over the week and a peak population of 122. With the addition of staff
(headcount information covered in Section III.F), it appears that the striped parking is insufficient,
demonstrating a need of an additional 106 spaces minimum (based on a total peak population of
142). Furthermore, the data excludes those groups not represented in FTE enrollment, so the level
of parking insufficiency may be more significant than shown here.
v. Athletics SCCC East does not have, nor is it affiliated with, any sports teams.
vi. Libraries The SCCC East Campus has access to the PCC Southwest Campus Library system through online
databases, with physical resources located at Cortez Public Library, along with online access to all
PCC Campuses, and regional library databases with Cortez Public Library, Durango Public Library,
Mancos Public Library and the John F. Reed Library at Fort Lewis College.
vii. Class Scheduling With regard to scheduling for classrooms and laboratory facilities at the SCCC East Campus, the
Campus Dean works with the on-site Director of Student and Academic Services Director. The
Dean reports to the President of PCC. viii. Facilities Maintenance and Annual Operations, Maintenance and Utility Costs Limited maintenance services – light bulb replacement, restroom maintenance, and necessary
building repairs – are provided for the SCCC East Campus by The Commons Building under their
lease agreement. Repairs are reported by the College to be slow in completing. No SCCC staff is
specifically assigned for maintenance responsibilities.
As maintenance and utilities are paid through the lease agreement, no information on costs, nor cost
per student FTE is available.
ix. Relevant Institutional Space Allocation Guidelines The consultants referred to several sources for guidelines used in this Master Plan in ascertaining
the College’s projections, covered in detail in Section IV.C. The Colorado Community College
System Office recently established space utilization guidelines in late Spring of 2010. The Colorado
Department of Higher Education likewise has set standards for higher education facilities. Renown
planning industry leader, the Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI)
publishes planning guidelines for institutions of higher education. Furthermore, the consultants
applied space guidelines based on existing building use in relevant specific situations. Guidelines
are cited in the appropriate sections under Section IV.C.
III.C. ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC PLANS, INSTITUTIONAL ROLE, MISSION AND VISION, TECHNOLOGY MASTER PLANS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT STRATEGIC PLANNING IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN
This section addresses both SCCC East and SCCC West Campuses. Academic Plans Pueblo Community College continually engages in a comprehensive academic planning process.
Committees involved in this planning process review and evaluate existing programs for their

viability or potential removal, as well as newly proposed programs. These committees will be
actively reviewing the Facilities Master Plan to guide decisions on academic plans to determine the
appropriate physical resources to support these plans.
The educational programs are under the overall supervision of the Vice President of Learning and
the Deans of Arts and Sciences, Business and Technology, and Health Professions. Strategic Planning Pueblo Community College participates in the Academic Quality Improvement Program of the Higher
Learning Commission (AQIP), a comprehensive and self evaluation process, focusing on enhancing
operations of the College through quality improvement. In 2007, as an AQIP action, the College put
into place a strategic planning model intended to conduct effective, consistent, and continuous
strategic planning into the future. Their most current strategic plan for 2008-2012 (see Appendix A
in Volume 1) identified six strategic objectives:
• Offer all students a mentored and focused pathway to success to ensure they graduate with
relevant 21st-
century skills.
• Support and engage the “whole student” through assured success strategies in learning,
leadership, and life skills.
• Become a recognized leader in higher education programs and curricula.
• Strengthen the regional workforce to contribute to economic growth and vitality in southern
Colorado. (See Section II.J. in Volume 1 with regard to Programs addressing this objective.)
• Foster professional development and leadership opportunities for all employees.
• Implement state-of-the-art continuous improvement processes at both the strategic and daily
work flow levels.
The Facilities Master Plan has the ability to work in concert with the Strategic Plan process, and
participants involved in both planning processes can assure goals are in alignment.
CCCS Strategic Plan The CCCS Strategic Plan identifies five key goals addressing student access, success, and
operational excellence, three of which are highlighted within this Facilities Master Plan:
• Student Access Goal: “All Coloradoans shall have access to comprehensive community
college educational programs.” (Section II.G. in Volume 1, Enrollment: Projections,
Demographics)
• Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado businesses and communities shall be met
through the development of a highly skilled workforce.” (Section II.J. in Volume 1, Institution’s
Programs in response to Service Area Economy)
• Student Success Goal: “Colorado students shall have seamless opportunities to transition
from high school into college and from two-year institutions into four-year institutions.”
(Section II.I. in Volume 1, Student Performance)
Colorado EPP and Office of the State Architect HPCP
In July of 2009, the State of Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration State Purchasing
Office published the document “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP) which adopted the
EPP policy guidance for the procurement of sustainable commodities and services. The policy
guidance is intended to facilitate adoption of best environmental practices consistent with Federally-
adopted environmental purchasing trends. One of the mandates in this policy is a requirement for all
new construction over 5,000 square feet among State Buildings’ capital construction projects to
achieve LEED Gold status per the Office of the State Architect’s High Performance
Certification Program (HPCP)*. In consideration of this requirement, Pueblo Community College
must anticipate the mark up associated with commissioning for project construction costs.

Commissioning agents require additional fees that must be incorporated into a project budget,
however the Owner must keep in mind that Commissioning is an important part of the LEED process
in that it ensures that greater cost savings to the Owner as a result of energy-efficiency are
achieved.
*Source: Policy document OSA-HPCP, originally published September 1, 2007, updated February of 2010.
Further descriptions of the design criteria and cost impact with LEED Gold are covered under
Sections V.E. and VIII.E., Campus Plans and Supporting Data.
Technology Master Plan The vigilant re-evaluation of Pueblo Community College’s Information Technology Master Plan has
become increasingly important as technology changes and the demands of business and industry
increase, particularly with the demands of upgrades at all campuses. The college intends to remain
state-of-the-art in communication techniques, administrative management tools, alternative delivery
methods (classroom or remote), networking, bandwidth and video-conferencing capabilities. PCC’s
IT Department remains committed to supporting the mission and goals of PCC’s Information
Technology Master Plan, which was developed in 2001, reviewed in 2005, and revised in 2007, and
remains effective through the end of the 2010-2011 academic year.
At this writing, the College’s Information Technology Services recently unveiled PCC’s new five year
Information Technology Master Plan 2011 - 2015, dated December, 2010, attached to this Facilities
Master Plan (Refer to Appendix B. in Volume 1). The Plan cites the pressing need of committing
budget for staffing and remaining state-of-the-art with its technology infrastructure, emphasizing
increased access to information and security. It is important to note that staffing guidelines identified
in the Technology Master Plan are drawn from general industry standards that should act in
conjunction with those set by peer institutions.
As a course of action with this Facility Master Plan, discussions involving IT planning with the
appropriate college personnel and user groups and A/E design teams should be integrated
throughout the planning, design, pre-construction and construction stages of any building project.
Built into these discussions will be review of security and backup systems and construction
scheduling coordination.

III.E. ENROLLMENT SIZE AND DISTRIBUTION DATA Enrollment information and FTE generation for both SCCC East and West campuses were covered
in depth in the “Program Plan for Southwest Colorado Community College – East Campus A
Division of Pueblo Community College”, published in spring of 2010 by Stephen Hall, Architect. For
purposes of this Facilities Master Plan document, the enrollment information for both SCCC
campuses will be presented at both respective enrollment narratives i.e. Sections III.E and VI.E.
Population areas in the five county service area for both SCCC Campuses include: Archuleta
County, Dolores County, La Plata County, Montezuma County, and San Juan County. As Census
2010 data was made publicly available in early 2011, population forecasting was taken from the
2010 Census information as well as the population forecast by the Colorado Demography Office:

FTE Enrollment Both SCCC East Campus’ and SCCC West campus’ enrollment trends, as well as the overall PCC
campus populations and the Online and Inmate populations are documented in the following chart
and graph. It is important to note that the current database system Banner was implemented in Fall
of 2006; prior to that time SIS was the database system. Given the difference in database systems
and to maintain reporting consistency, the past four years of Semester FTE are tracked (Fall 2006 –
Fall 2009) to compare with projections up to 2014. In addition, the FTEs represented in this
Facilities Master Plan reflect the “Course Campus FTE”; they are not “Priority Campus” FTE which
include the online FTEs. SCCC East’s enrollment projections show a marginal but steady increase,
reflected in anticipated economic recovery for the five county region and its anticipated service area
population increase of 2.04% average annual percentage change in the master plan period. Of
particular note is the overall increase in population in the Census Data between years 2000 and
PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – SCCC EAST SITE

2010, as the five county region saw an average jump of 16.65%, reflected in the State of Colorado’s
increase of 16.92%. San Juan, Archuleta, and La Plata Counties were the greatest beneficiaries,
with increases of 25.27%, 22.09% and 16.82% respectively. Appendix C. addresses historic FTE
trends of the Southwest Center operation in Durango, as well as fairly stable (though no pronounced
growth) population trends among the local school districts. Furthermore, population change by
individual town indicated that the city of Durango saw an increase of 21.30% between years 2000
and 2010, and a projected population increase between 2010 through 2020 of 27%, underscoring
the need for SCCC East to anticipate growth.

CCCS Strategic Plan – Key Performance Measures: Ages 14 – 64 In addition to the study of the Five Counties’ overall population trend line average increase of 2.04%
increase for the master plan period, average data from the Census Bureau was collected on the age
range of 14 – 64, the target age range for the community college student. The low end of this age
range factors in SCCC East’s Concurrent Enrollment High School programs; in Fall 2009, concurrent
enrollment contributed 3.4 Semester FTE. The next graph studies the population for this age group
in the subject counties and the FTE enrollments at the SCCC East campus – historic and projected
into 2014. Trend lines superimposed on both graphs appear to be unparallel, suggesting that there
is a future market of students, based on the growth of the 14 – 64 age group anticipated for the Five
Counties in contrast to SCCC East’s enrollment rate. County growth trends appear to outpace SCCC
East’s anticipated enrollment.

SCCC East Campus Basic Enrollment Data - Headcount Note: See Volume 1, Section II.G. for PCC Online and Corrections enrollments.
Comparisons of the combined headcount figures for the East Campus and the West Campus are
being made with those of the former Southwest Center drawn from the 2006 Basic Enrollment Data
(Fall of 2005) as they share the same service areas. Comparisons indicate the following:
Overall enrollment for both SCCC campuses suggests a growth of 56% over SWC (2006 projections indicated 10% growth);
The average percentage of full-time students showed a decrease from the Southwest Center figure
of 73.4% in 2005 to an average of 33.5%. This marked contrast suggests the adjustment in
dynamics with concurrent enrollment students (those attending both college and high school);
Female students continue to make up the majority of students, with the exception of the West
Campus. The resultant disparity between male students decreased over this time period by 16%. It
is important to distinguish that the Female to Male ratio at Durango is almost 2:1, while the Female
to Male ratio at Mancos is 1:1.33;
Students attending at both East/West campuses are still overwhelmingly resident status, though the
current West Campus suggests a 3:1 ratio compared to the 2005 overall Southwest Center having a
near 4:1 ratio;
Ethnicity continues to show similar make-up, with White-Non-Hispanics and American Indian/
Alaskan Natives comprising the majority of students;
The average age of the East/West Campus student is 26.8, down from 27.9 in Fall of 2005. SCCC
East’s continued efforts to recruit concurrent enrollment (CHE) students reflect the slight shift in
demographic patterns from student populations in the 2006 Institutional Data. The average age for
SCCC West at 25.7 is the youngest of all PCC campuses;
The top resident students’ zip codes suggest residents from the same zip codes from 2005 are
attending.
The following tables and graphs, “Student Demographics” and “SCCC East Campus Student
Resident Demographic Data” by Zip Code provide the headcount makeup of enrolled students. In
the “Student Demographics” table, the Fall 2005 SWC enrollment figures are being presented to
compare demographic % breakdown.

The zip code information and map suggested in Fall 2009, three in four FTE students lived within 20
miles of the SCCC East Campus, the number mostly concentrated in La Plata County; the remaining
four counties of the five-county service area are represented as smaller percentages of headcount.
The community of Bayfield is included among the top headcount zip codes, though barely out of the
20 mile radius. Summary of Demographics A review of the demographics present some interesting patterns of growth that SCCC East should
consider in planning enrollments. SCCC East has the second oldest average age among the PCC
campuses at 27.8, however, the pre-college programs have introduced a much younger population
to the traditional college adult environment. There is a steady increase of high school enrollments
reported among community colleges statewide*. High school-aged students are participating in
programs alongside adult students as part of concurrent enrollment offerings. The overall
socialization, academic maturation, and environmental adaptations for this youthful segment are
special needs to factor into planning. A high concentration of resident students lives within La Plata
County, due primarily to Durango’s mountain location, and most students are part-timers, a reverse

III.G. STUDENT PERFORMANCE (Refer to section II.I in Volume 1 for student performance data.)
III.H. INSTITUTION’S PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO SERVICE AREA ECONOMY The CCCS Strategic Plan includes the Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado
businesses and communities shall be met through the development of a highly skilled workforce.”
SCCC East Campus / Pueblo Community College’s commitment to being a proactive education
partner with their immediate community and beyond is evident through their academic program
offerings designed with Career Technology Education in mind. Programs in the Health Professions,
EMS and the Law Enforcement Academy (LEA) are particularly connected to the Four Corners
region. For instance, the College’s LEA is the only provider of this training in this vicinity. Nursing,
respiratory care, and paramedic training continue to be in demand. The Durango area, a region
noted for recreation and a haven for retirees, requires a workforce that is responsive to this set of
circumstances. Skills developed through the Business Management curriculum help prepare
students to compete and navigate the ever-changing business climate.
Concurrent enrollment programs, which allow high school students the opportunities to earn college
credits while they continue their high school coursework, are geared to exposing young people to
career-oriented programs. The SCCC East Campus has agreements with local school districts to
provide some of these programs at area high schools, partly to offset the lack of facilities at The
Commons Building, and partly to preclude transporting the students from their high schools to the
college campus.

IV. EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC EAST SITE IV.A. CURRENT LAND USE i. Campus Building Functions by Locations The SCCC East Campus leases 14,201 square feet of building space in a three-story office type
structure known as The Commons Building owned by the Southwest Institute for Education and
Conservation and managed by the Durango Adult Education Center. Also known as the “Old
Federal Building”, The Commons Building houses several non-profit and educational organizations.
SCCC East is the largest tenant in the 42,513 GSF Commons Building.
ii. Land Uses Adjacent to the Campus The Commons Building is in a medium density commercial zone in downtown Durango, zoned CB,
or Central Business District. See Figure C below. The properties surrounding the building are
similarly zoned. These properties include a major grocery store, two large scale lodging facilities,
and a liquor store. Dining and other retail shopping are found on nearby properties. There is a
conveniently located public transit stop across the street. Camino del Rio (also known as Highway
550) is also one block from historic Main Avenue, which features older vintage buildings. The
Animas River and Trail lie to the west less than one block from the property. Further west past the
river is the Greenmount Cemetery and Planned Development zones.

IV.C. CURRENT SPACE INVENTORY / PROJECTIONS TABLES i. Current Space Utilization by Space Type in Relation to Department Space Utilization Guidelines Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 course and
facility data for the SCCC East Campus received by PCC’s Office of Institutional Research and
Accreditation through Banner, and information from SCCC East Campus administrative staff. The
utilization analyses includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as utilization
analyzing weekly room hours of use and student station occupancy percentage. This information
assists in the formulation of the classroom and laboratory guideline applications for Pueblo
Community College in association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College
System office in concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space
inventory for the SCCC East Campus is located in Appendix B. The Space Utilization tables are
located in Appendix D.

In addition, the consultants, having met with academic and administrative constituents at the SCCC
East Campus during the Program Plan process in late winter 2010, gathered information on space
needs. This information combined with enrollment data were used to perform the space needs
analysis. Space needs were compared to existing space at the Durango campus to determine
surpluses and deficits.
Classrooms The 2010 CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” defines college classrooms as
rooms used for scheduled classes that are not limited in their use to a specific subject or discipline.
College classrooms include general purpose classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, auditoriums,
and computer classrooms that are not software specific. Classroom service space supports one or
more classrooms, providing media support, preparation areas or storage.
SCCC East Campus has a total of eight classrooms. Combined with the classroom service area, the
campus has a total of 4,351 ASF.
The 2010 CCCS guideline for classrooms utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:
Space Factor = Average Station Size
Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week
This space factor is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for
WSCH totals – for both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:
Fall 2009 = 0.77 x 2,102 = 1,619 ASF
Fall 2014 = 0.77 x 2,238 = 1,723 ASF
Teaching Laboratories Teaching laboratories are rooms used predominantly for regularly scheduled classes that require
special equipment for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice. The 2010
CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” identified multiple categories for teaching
laboratories with recommended ASF for their respective spaces. Student Stations are noted to
include service spaces.
SCCC East Campus has four teaching laboratories. Combined with the teaching lab service area,
the campus has a total of 2,523 ASF. Among the teaching lab types found at the campus are:
Nursing, General Science - Biology, Health Sciences, Art, and Computer Science.
2010 CCCS Guideline: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms;
2010 CCCS Guideline: 68% classroom
2010 CCCS Guideline: 22 ASF Assignable Square Footage
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section IV., Page 25
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
The CCCS guideline for teaching laboratories utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:
Space Factor = Average Station Size
Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week
The consultants identified four teaching laboratory space types (Art, Computer, Nursing, and
Science – Wet Lab) for the SCCC East Campus in Fall 2009. Using the CSSS guideline factors,
listed below, the consultants determined an average ASF for the SCCC East Campus.
Teaching Lab Type Teaching Lab ASF General Science – Wet Lab 65 Chemistry and Physics 65 Dining Teaching 22 Business 33 Music 39 Art - average 58 Nursing 100 Health Sciences 100 Foreign Language 40 Multi-media 75 Computer Science 37 Auto Repair 240 Building Trades 210 Electronics (bench type) 50 Machine Shop, Wood Shop 60 Welding 100
The breakdown of the guideline ASF space factors used for SCCC East Campus’ teaching
laboratories is as follows:
Art (dry/wet media) = one lab at 60
Computer = one lab at 37
Nursing = one lab at 100
Science (median between General Science and Health Science) = 83
Average Assignable Square Footage = 69.50.
Applying this average to the equation, the Space Factor is calculated to be 3.10. This space factor
is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for
both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:
Fall 2009 = 3.10 x 913 = 2,830 ASF
Fall 2014 = 3.10 x 972 = 3,014 ASF
Given that the existing teaching laboratory/service area is 2,523 ASF, this calculation indicates a
deficit of teaching lab space for both the base year and the target year. This deficit increases from
307 ASF in the base year to 491 ASF for the target year.
2010 CCCS Guideline: 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories

Open Laboratory CEFPI defines the open laboratory having “disparate functions” as computer laboratories with
discipline specific software or where access is limited, group and individual music practice rooms,
and studios for independent study. Intensity of use and station size may be varied to meet
institutional requirements.
The existing designated Open Lab at SCCC East is heavily used as a space for group and
independent study, partly due to lack of other appropriate study space. The campus also has a small
Tutoring Lab. CEFPI uses a Space Factor multiplied by the fall FTE to arrive at Open Lab space;
institutions less than 3,000 FTE require 4.9. For the Fall 2009 guideline, the consultants chose this
4.9 factor: 4.9 x 278 = 1,362 ASF. For the Fall 2014 guideline: 4.9 x 296 = 1,450 ASF.
Office Space CEFPI defines office space to be inclusive of individual office space, reception, waiting, storage,
work and copy rooms, lounges and conference rooms. CEFPI uses a space factor is multiplied by
FTE to determine required office space.
The Colorado Department of Higher Education has established guidelines for office space:
Staffing Type Office ASF
President 300
Vice President/Dean 250
Department Chair / Manager 200
Faculty 130
Supervisor 130
Technical / Paraprofessional 120
Clerical / Secretarial 100
Office space is determined by multiplying the space factor guidelines by FTE. The SCCC East
Campus has two types of general office space: Academic Office and Administrative Office.
In general, office space was reported to be deficient, mostly attributed to staff growth during the
period of reporting. Space recommendations were assigned as follows:
Academic: Fall 2009 Faculty FTE was reported at 3.5 FTE, comprised of department
chairs/directors, faculty, adjunct instructors, and faculty support. CEFPI recommends using a fraction
for adjuncts and students, such as ½ faculty for part-time and ¼ for students:
Department Chairs/Directors (2 x 200) + Part-time/Adjunct ½ (1 + 7) x 130 + Hourly/Students ¼ (24)
x 5 = 400 +520 + 60 = 980 ASF for the Fall 2009 guideline.
Administrative: Fall 2009 Administrative FTE (Administration, APT, Classified, and all non-academic
deans) information for the Pueblo Campus was reported at 6.5 FTE. Space recommendations were
assigned as follows:
Dean (non-academic) (1 x 250) + APT (3.5 x 150) + Classified (2.0 x 100) = 250 + 525 + 200 = 975
ASF for the Fall 2009 guideline.
Administrative office space at the SCCC East Campus also includes the Go!Zone registration area,
which encompasses student stations. The consultant chose the 12% of FTE factor similar to the
CEFPI for Study Space multiplied by the generous factor of 35 ASF/user: (.12 x 278) x 35 = 1,168
ASF. Additionally, the staff conference room and internal lounge are part of Office Space; the
consultant used the CEFPI space factor of 25 ASF/ total staff headcount: 25 x 20= 500 ASF.
Therefore, total Other Administrative Office space requirements = 1,168 + 500 = 1,668 ASF

For Fall 2014 the consultant utilized the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan ASF
recommendations (see Appendix E) for office type spaces.
Library It bears mentioning the impact of the Pueblo Campus Library and their resources to the overall
campus population and that of the SCCC East Campus with regard to space inventory. Usage of the
Library resources is up, with resources being utilized 763,746 times in fiscal year July 09 – June 10,
a 179% increase over the previous fiscal year (July 08 – June 09). Current Library available
resources applicable to the SCCC East Campus with utilization figures for FY 09-10 include:
Online catalog usage: 197,750 searches and full text retrieval
ebooks: 16,388 (netLibrary and Stat!Ref); accessed 2,958 times
Online Databases: 30; accessed 457,065 times
Online Reference: All campuses have access to online reference services through EBSCO Host’s
Ask a Librarian. In addition there is a link on all campus library pages to the PCC Library’s email
reference assistance.
This trend of online usage will likewise impact course delivery and ultimately the Library
access/usage patterns, as patron numbers increase. As SCCC East Campus presently utilizes
online resources in addition to outside resources through the Fort Lewis College facilities and the
local Durango Public Library, there is no formal Campus Library. For the 2009 guideline the
consultant chose to modify CEFPI’s Study Facilities (400) space factor to determine space for a
Resource Center, a place with computer stations for research and the ability to check out
department specific materials with appropriate secured storage. The Space Factor is 35 ASF per
user; user is a % of total FTE, with 12% for FTE undergraduate students and 5% for FTE faculty.
The space factor was reduced to 20 ASF.
20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 278) + (.05 x 8.5)] = 676 ASF
676 ASF exceeds the SCCC East Campus Building program plan figure for a Resource Center, 450
ASF; the consultant believes the larger number will permit growth for furnishings, service and
storage.
Assembly and Exhibit CEFPI defines assembly spaces, as spaces designed for large group events such as plays, concerts
or commencement, and includes theaters, concert halls, and auditoriums. The recommendation for
two year institutions for the first 5,000 FTE is to be assigned a core of 14,000 ASF. As SCCC East
functions as a satellite campus with a much reduced FTE, the consultant chose the SCCC East
Campus Building program plan size of 2,400 ASF, as the planned assembly area will satisfy not only
assembly functions but also on-site fitness-related functions – see “Fitness Center”. As the space
will multi-task, campus exhibit space can easily be accommodated within the 2,400 ASF. CEFPI
noted a minimum of 2,000 ASF for exhibit space relative to smaller institutions.
Physical Plant As the SCCC East Campus is in leased space, their only Physical Plant/Support Facilities function is
the Telecom Server Room at 143 ASF. CEFPI guidelines for support services use a 6% space
factor of total building ASF, which excludes the 700 code rooms (server room, mail facilities, shop
areas). The Fall 2009 guideline = .06 x (14,160 + 5830 + 1,062) = 1,263 ASF. Guidelines for Fall
2014 utilized the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan figure of 1,380 ASF.

Auxiliary Space: Student Lounge The SCCC East Campus presently utilizes public amenity-type space at the Commons Building as
part of their lease agreement. The college desires student lounge space particularly for students
who drive long distances. CEFPI uses a Space Factor of 3 ASF/FTE: 3 x 283 = 849 ASF. The
consultants chose to reduce this to 600 ASF to reflect anticipated staggered student use. This figure
exceeds the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan figure of 500 ASF; the consultants believe
the larger number will accommodate more growth for furnishings and storage.
Fitness Center The First Responder programs at SCCC East Campus desire a space to accommodate the
specialized physical training exercises with the ability to lay down floor mats and associated storage
for additional equipment. A multipurpose room is mentioned in the SCCC East Campus Building
Program Plan that will allow for these fitness-type activities and also function as a formal assembly
area – see “Assembly and Exhibit”. The consultants factored space for a Fitness Center into the
Assembly and Exhibit category.
Bookstore The Bookstore is a Merchandising-type space, involved in the sale of goods and services, per
CEFPI definition. A Space Factor of 2 ASF/FTE is the guideline, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF: 2 x
283 = 566 ASF. During Fall 2009, the SCCC East Campus had planned on moving their 352 ASF
existing first floor bookstore operation to a non-assigned larger space on the second floor, 462 ASF;
this occurred in Spring of 2010. The consultants chose to use this figure as the guideline for the
Bookstore space for Fall 2009 and the figure of the SCCC East Campus Building Program Plan of
750 ASF for the 2014 guideline.
Conclusion In summary, the Space Needs Analysis determined that the Master Plan guidelines based on Fall
2009 enrollment required a total of 15,635 ASF, over 30% additional ASF over the existing 11,963
ASF, confirming the dire need for space for the SCCC East Campus. Almost every space category
reported deficit space. The combined guideline ASF/FTE for Academic and Academic Support
Space categories netted 52.43 ASF/FTE, which is over the State guideline for satellite/branch
campuses (44), but under the State guideline for main campuses (55). Immediate attention must be
paid to acquiring additional space to maintain class offerings and operations as a viable provider of
higher education.

ii. Overview of Current Space Utilization Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 credit course
enrollment and facility data for the SCCC East Campus. Excluded from the enrollment data are non-
credit courses, online, hybrid, private instruction, and independent studies. As the SCCC East
Campus offers morning through evening sessions throughout the weekdays, and weekend sessions,
data was analyzed to determine the high use hours by the building for 42 hours for classrooms and
28 hours for teaching laboratories (Appendix A.). For both classroom and teaching laboratories,
these peak hours occurred primarily Monday through Thursday, between 8:00am – 9:00pm, with
some peak classroom times reported on Friday mornings and Saturday evenings. The utilization
analyses, as set by current CCCS guidelines, includes scheduled room use by day and time of day,
as well as utilization analyzing weekly room hours of use, and weekly student (scheduled) contact
hours (WSCH)* by students in credit courses, and student station occupancy as a expressed
percentage of room station count multiplied by the state guidelines of 42 hours (classrooms) and 28
hours (laboratories).
* Weekly student (or scheduled) contact hours = the number of equivalent hours (50-minute hours) that seats are
occupied in a week during scheduled on-campus classes.
Utilization (%) = No. of Stations Occupied x Hours/Week Occupied
Capacity No. of Stations x Total Hours/Week
In using this formula, course enrollments that are considered out of the high use hours times, were
excluded from the overall utilization percentage calculations. This would potentially eliminate
courses with low enrollments and/or low contact hour classes. In addition to the formulation of the
building utilization, data for assignable square footage (ASF) per student was collected to determine
planning for classroom and laboratory guideline applications for Pueblo Community College in
association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College System office in
concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space inventory for the SCCC
East Campus located within the Commons Building can be found in Appendix B. The Space
Utilization table is located in Appendix D.
The Fall 2009 Building Utilization Summary for the SCCC East Campus is as follows:
2010 CCCS Guidelines: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms; 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories
Number of stations as identified in the Room inventory
WSCH: Weekly Student Contact Hours

Utilization
Utilization Analysis by Student Station Occupancy (SSO) – Day and Hour / Building Use Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009
Review of the classroom student station occupancy utilization analysis revealed for the campus
average, utilization at 29%, far less than the desired State guideline utilization rate of 68%. Those
classrooms demonstrating well above the average 29% with some over-enrolled courses, but still
under the desired rate, included: classrooms for Accounting, Art, Economics, and Remedial Math
(218 at 48%); and General Education courses, Art, Biology, and Remedial English (210 at 37%).
Teaching Laboratory usage analysis for the campus average showed SSO utilization under the
target at 40%. One lab met the exception and demonstrated well above the State guideline of 80%,
Room 220 at 88%, which served as the Biology Lab. The next high use teaching lab was Room 217,
the Nursing Lab, which registered 46% utilization. Refer to Appendix D for a complete review and
summary of utilization analysis.
Utilization by Room Capacity Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009
An analysis of utilization by room capacity was likewise studied for Classroom and Laboratory room
categories; the data is tracked on the following charts. The majority of SCCC East Campus’
classrooms is in the 21-30 capacity. The Classroom findings revealed most SSO use showed the
highest rate of usage at the 21-30 (33%) and decreasing with decreased room size, suggesting the
most balanced use with the 21-30 room capacity.

i. Pedestrian Circulation Due to the footprint and location of the existing building on the property and required driveways and
parking around the building, there is a limited amount of pedestrian walkways, which are essentially
access walks around the building from the parking lot and public sidewalk off of Camino del Rio. See
Figure E. above. There is no formal walk along West 7th Street. Next to the high speed traffic of
Camino del Rio, the pedestrian experience around the building is less than desirable. Snowstorms
create walking hazards, particularly on the north end, where ice build-up is a reality due to the low
sun angle and the building casting a shadow on the parking lot over most of the day. Landscape is
limited to street trees fronting the building and several trees in the parking lot. Use of the City of
Durango’s public transit system requires pedestrians to cross Camino del Rio, which must be
traversed at intersections with traffic signals.
ii. Vehicular Circulation Due to the footprint of the existing building on the property and the property’s overall size, there is
limited vehicular circulation, and limited access to and from Camino del Rio via a shared driveway
with the neighboring major grocery store. Public transportation is widely available in the City of
Durango. A Transit Center which is a start/stop point for Route 2 (Fort Lewis College/North) of the

City of Durango’s Transit System is located in the neighboring property to the east of The Commons
Building across Camino Del Rio.
iii. Bicycle Circulation Bicycle racks are provided at The Commons Building site for commuters who choose this mode of
transportation. The City of Durango has a bike trail system, though no trails lead to or pass through
the campus site. One popular trail, the Animas River Trail, is located approximately one block west
of the campus site.
IV.H. UTILITY SYSTEMS
Records for utility locates were not made available to the consultants. The City of Durango sponsors
a GIS website* with Utility data. According to the Utility map, the main water, waste and storm water
from the City of Durango municipal supply lines run and enter into the south of the building.
Electrical is from the La Plata Electrical Association.
*Source: www.durango.gov.org, “Interactive Maps”
IV.I. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Storm water management for construction activity within the City of Durango is governed by the
Public Works Department, who enforces the Design Standards and Development Requirements for
Drainage and Storm Sewer Systems City Code 10-5-5.* The City of Durango Storm water Quality
Permit System requires a permit for any construction activity that disturbs at least 1 acre of land.
*Source: www.durango.gov.org
IV.J. ATHLETICS / PARKS / RECREATIONAL FIELDS / OPEN SPACE There are no athletic fields, parks, nor open space available on The Commons Building property.
There is a river bike/walk trail less than a half mile from this location. A concern among students
and staff is lack of recreational space, as many travel a distance to the building, and they desire a
down time from their academic schedule, particularly for those who work, some full-time, outside of
school.
IV.K. ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CAMPUS AESTHETICS Consultants’ note: As SCCC East Campus is in leased space, the following narrative is being presented to describe the current physical environs in the context of the community college. i. Architecture The East Campus is presently housed in leased space in The Commons Building, built in 1977.
The building’s simple box style suggests modern, having served as a Federal Building in the Post
War era, and is devoid of embellishment, except for its strong vertical articulation treatment of the
deeply recessed windows evenly spaced that read as columnar patterns from a distance. The
building has two main entrances – one ADA non-accessible east entrance off of Camino del Rio, and
the ADA accessible entrance at the west side, which features a simple pergola-type structure. Once
entered, most of the college community must access a centrally located elevator to arrive at the
second floor, which houses the majority of the college’s physical facilities. Landscape treatment is
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section IV., Page 36
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
very limited to fixed planters. A highly visible monument sign for the SCCC campus is located on the
Camino del Rio side of the building, to highlight the campus location and presence.
Interiors are limited by the building’s original design, which consist of an elevator central core and
wrap around corridors, which limits room sizes. Corridors are narrow in parts and non-code
compliant for exiting purposes. The common areas within The Commons Building (snack lounge
area with vending) are available to students and staff and furnished with tables and chairs, but they ii. Scale The three story structure is somewhat imposing from a pedestrian scale, as the building is situated
right off the public sidewalk along Camino del Rio. The neighboring properties are similarly scaled,
yet separated by parking lots and right-of-way access drives as typical for this type of commercial
zone.
iii. Materials Simple stucco walls in two, rather non-descript tones of gray reflect the “business” character of the
old Federal Building. Window and entrance systems are anodized aluminum.
iv. Urban Design The location of the SCCC East Campus within the context of The Common Building is in a fairly
busy commercial center of downtown Durango. Its close proximity to public transportation and a full
service major grocery store is beneficial. Limited on-site parking and traffic congestion, particularly
in heavy snow season can create building access problems.
On site security is an issue of consideration for SCCC East students and staff, as the building is not
always operating at the same hours of the College.
v. Public Art The property has no public art installations.
V. THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V

THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 37
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
One year following the historic merger between Pueblo Community College and San Juan Basin
Technical College, the two campus sites of Southwest Colorado Community College have embarked
on plans to address their respective changes/growth. With more recent plans to consolidate
resources, SCCC will be reviewing building inventory and utilizations for efficient operations. The
Master Plan, referred to as “The Plan”, for each campus site is discussed in separate narratives
within each section.
V. THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE
Space projections from the study show that at the present FTE enrollment and forecasted population
into Target Year 2014, the campus building inventory for academic and academic support is
sufficient for classrooms and deficient in teaching laboratory space, and can support a limited
amount of program growth. The lack of adequate and code-compliant laboratory space and
associated support/storage is debilitating to the demanding programs the College offers, and
likewise contributes to the limitations / non-availability of adequate teaching spaces. Paramount to
this concern is locating required space for new programs and maintaining outreach programs.
The Plan has been structured into two timeframes: Short Term Range and Mid- to Long-Term
Range. Each of these timeframes has identified specific goals. These goals, their descriptions and
associated project costs, where available, are covered in Section V.E. “Project Implementation
Plan”.
V.A. IDEAL FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 38
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
ii. Functional Relationships within Land-use Zones The proximity to Durango public transit stop permits in-town commuting as well as travel to areas
outside of town.
iii. Flexibility for Growth The current location of the SCCC East Campus affords little growth potential for a college facility
requiring the proper spaces to support continued growth, as documented in the Program Plan. See
Figure G. of potential area of expansion. Parking must constantly be monitored due to the
competition for spaces from adjoining properties. V.B. LAND COVERAGE DECISIONS i. Building Density with Building Zones Planning and development in the City of Durango are governed by the Department of Planning and
Community Development. The department administers the city’s Comprehensive Plan and the Land
Use Development Code (LUDC). As SCCC East Campus is part of State Buildings, any planned
design and construction is governed by the State of Colorado and reviewed by a State Plans
Examiner for Code Compliance. With the existing site located in urban-type zones, (the Commons
Building is in the Central Business District), certain building scale elements will need to adhere to the
appropriate city design guidelines.
According to the current LUDC, Colleges and Universities located in the Central Business District
Zone (CB) would require a conditional use permit. Some zoning guidelines for CB zone include:
maximum building height is 55 feet; minimum front, side and rear setbacks are 0 feet; if front
setbacks are provided, 50% of the setback area must be landscaped; service entrance yards are
recommended for the rear or side setbacks. In the PB zone, which provides for uses and facilities in
the ownership of federal, state, and local governments or special taxing districts, similar scale
restrictions apply: maximum height is the same as permitted as adjoining properties – conditional
use permit and review are required if additional height is desired; setback requirements are similar.
ii. Parking Facilities As the present SCCC East Campus has insufficient parking at the present Commons Building
property, efforts must be taken to secure spaces on an as-needed basis. The Campus has been
able to locate spaces across the street in the municipal transit center.
V.C. CAMPUS PLANS AND SUPPORTING DATA
i. Land Perimeter The site of the present SCCC East Campus within the Commons Building is bounded by commercial
zoned property, which includes retail and commercial lodging, as well as the municipal transit center.
ii. Land Use The SCCC East Campus leases space in a multi-story commercial office building; this type of
building / land use is appropriate for the College’s present situation with the major exception of the
building’s lack of appropriate utility infrastructure to support the College’s programs.
iii. Circulation Systems and Vehicle Storage Surface parking lots for a college campus requires basic elements: vehicle storage, with
consideration for safe traffic patterns, building and arterial road connections, accessibility, site
lighting and site drainage, and distinguishing vehicular circulation from pedestrian circulation.
Spaces need to be appropriately located and assigned to police squad vehicles, as well as
THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 39
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
maintenance and service vehicles. The Students on Campus Analysis table in Appendix A should
be consulted to determine the minimum amount of parking and provide for any future growth.
iv. Utility Systems, Including Technology Infrastructure The College will engage professional teams to perform the comprehensive study of required code
compliant building systems and the availability and adequacy of existing municipal infrastructure.
The newly released PCC Information Technology Master Plan will be consulted in consideration of
technology infrastructure guidelines for planning.
v. Building Location Source: Stephen Hall Architects / PCC / Colarelli Construction Drawing Not to Scale
vi. Storm Water Management Plan
vii. Facility Staging Plan SCCC East Campus will require specific logistical operations. As both are dealing with the
occasional severity of snowstorms, it is critical that planning for material, equipment, and waste
staging is factored in during the design phase at which time building scale and the proposed building
materials are being established. Coordination should also include discussions with the City of
Durango on matters concerning traffic and recycled waste management, as well as protection
against wildlife intrusions.
V.D. CAMPUS PLANS TO CONTINUE OR RENEW AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS The aesthetics of the current site is intended to promote vitality and opportunity, which is the identity
that the SCCC East Site desires. Having occupied leased space has limited the College’s ability to
forge an outwardly physical presence and identity, though the addition of an exterior monument sign
at the time of the merger has helped to anchor this identity.
Figure G. Study of potential expansion of The Commons Building.
THE PLAN – SCCC EAST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section V., Page 40
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
The important task of developing aesthetics will be a high priority, one that will revolve around the
selected overall site context, addressing:
• Scale – relationship to human scale, surrounding buildings, public roadways, walkways, etc.;
• Orientation – determining proper building placement to benefit from solar access, public
views;
• Design vocabulary – color, style, material palette to compliment neighborhood.
In determining the direction of the visual campus identity, the College should consider focus
meetings involving college students, faculty, leadership, and other community stakeholders
facilitated by design professionals to guide these decisions.
V.E. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Short Term Range is planned out for the target year of 2014. The focus of this timeframe is
addressing life safety issues and transitioning the physical campus as an operation site for online
delivery. Other immediate needs address student/administrative operations as well as finding
additional academic space:
• Locate additional parking
• Improvements to broadband width outside of the immediate service region
• Locate additional academic space within the Commons Building
• Enhance security
At this time the College reports that parking has been located in a surface lot across the street,
which will alleviate the crowding problems at the present Commons Building parking lot for the time.
The College is also presently working out arrangements with The Commons Building to secure an
additional 2,000 square feet of lease space in the lower level of the building for more classrooms.
2010 Campus Program Plan – a study Prior to the start of the Master Plan reporting period, Pueblo Community College commissioned a
Program Plan for a new Durango Campus in response to an ever-present dire need for academic
spaces to support their specific programs, additional office space, as well as storage spaces. The
Program Plan addressed the critical impact of location as a function of campus identity as well as the
support of program operations. Needs identified included:
• More Classrooms with more stations per room and Classroom Support spaces that will
permit growth. Currently some classrooms have been over-scheduled to accommodate
classes;
• More Laboratory space and laboratory service space, which are presently deficient in
quantity, size, indoor air quality, appropriate casework grade and furnishings;
• Additional and appropriately sized Offices and Office Support spaces;
• A large Multipurpose room to accommodate physical skills training for LEA and EMS
programs, as well as large assembly functions. Program directors cite inadequate room for
laying out mats and working on indoor training skills in current facilities. Outdoor training is
limited on the present site particularly with the challenge to execute discretion for particular
skills;
• A medium-sized demonstration kitchen space for Culinary Arts, which is presently being
operated at a local high school;
• Appropriately-sized Auxiliary (Bookstore) and Building Support Spaces (Telecom and
Physical Plant);
• Independent physical campus image (community identity, parking and site amenities).

Program PlanSouthwest Colorado Community College - East Campusa Division of Pueblo Community College
Though the recommendations from the Campus Program Plan will not be pursued under this
Facilities Master Plan, the space needs and programming exercises provided SCCC an opportunity
to closely evaluate their physical building and its shortcomings in serving SCCC’s operations. The
program plan was highly instrumental in supplying the data for the Facilities Master Plan Space
Needs Analysis, and highlighting critical life safety issues.
The Mid to Long Term Range As the SCCC is presently addressing the direction of consolidating resources, the SCCC East Site
will be evaluating the findings of the Facilities Master Plan, particularly academic programs and
building utilization, as well as operations to find East Site’s strengths. A program plan study that will
take into account the physical infrastructure to support online delivery programs and other vital
services that fit into the SCCC and PCC’s vision and mission is recommended. The transportation
dynamics between all three SCCC campus sites and associated parking will likewise be critical and
will require special studies.

The following narrative is being included as a discussion on LEED project development for the any
future planned project pursuing certification. Refer to Volume I, Section IV.E. for complete text.
Costs Associated with LEED Projects Per the Governor’s Executive Order D 005 05 “Greening of State Government”*, Executive Directors
of all state agencies and departments are directed to manage future new building construction and
renovation projects within the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system
when feasible. The intent of this directive is for all future projects to pursue an official LEED
Certification whenever it is “applicable and practicable” and is “deemed cost-effective”. In order for
the LEED Certification process to be considered cost-effective as part of a college construction
project, it is most helpful for the institution to be aware of and anticipate the additional explicit costs
in advance. It is also important that in budgeting these costs, that the institution is aware that the
additional costs involved with pursuing LEED certification are typically recouped many times over
through the general savings that go along with the design of a sustainable and energy-efficient
building.

V.F. FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION SCHEDULE As no major construction projects are planned under this Facilities Master Plan, this section is not
applicable.
V.G. CRITERIA FOR UPDATING PLAN
Southwest Colorado Community College and Pueblo Community College will undertake the task of
reviewing this document on an annual basis to stay apprised of planning guidelines and policies that
will impact planning decisions as academic needs are presented. The task group should review for
consistency with the College’s Academic, Strategic and Information Technology Master Plans and
the CCCS Strategic Plan.
Upon approval by the State Board of Community Colleges of Occupational Education and the
Colorado Department of Higher Education, the College will prepare program plans for the proposed
projects and obtain appropriate approvals. If funding is not available for the fiscal year identified, the
schedule for requests for funding will be adjusted.

VI. PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – SCCC WEST SITE
VI.A. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMS OR PROGRAM TYPES Southwest Colorado Community College operates as a division of Pueblo Community College.
Program offerings for transfer degrees and specialty training have been in place when the formerly-
named Pueblo Community College Southwest Center (Durango / Cortez / Pagosa Springs) was
established in response to the need for higher education and skilled labor in this region of the state.
Since that time and with the 2009 merger to create SCCC, the College has been able to expand
their programs, particularly in the health fields.
Pueblo Community College is a comprehensive community college offering a range of career and
educational programs. SCCC West Campus offers transfer Associate Degree and Certificate
programs in the following:
Associate of Arts (AA): Business Management.
Associate of Science (AS): General
Associate of General Studies (AGS): transfer with advisement: General
Certificate Programs: Accounting, Automotive Technology, Broadcast Media Production, Business
Education, Cisco Networking Technology, Construction Technologies, Cosmetology (available
Spring 2010), Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology which includes Commercial Driving
Training, Emergency Medical Services – Basic & Intermediate, Fire Science Technology, Industrial
Electronic Technology, Law Enforcement Academy (site skills only), Medical Assistant, Med Prep,
Office Administration, Pharmacy Technician, Small Business Management, Welding Technologies,
Wildland Firefighter.
VI.B. OVERVIEW OF CURRENT POLICIES AFFECTING FACILITIES i. Admissions Refer to Part II.D.i., under Volume I for admission policies.
ii. Housing There is no housing policy, as the SCCC West is a commuter campus and has no housing.
iii. Student Services SCCC West Campus is supported by the Student Services Division at the Pueblo Campus, although
the campus does provide some on-site student services including admissions, financial aid, and
advising through its Go!Zone, one-stop enrollment center and a Learning Center with tutoring
services in the Main Building. SCCC West has its own campus bookstore, located in the Main
Building, stocked with textbooks, clothing, school supplies and food items.
iv. Campus Parking Parking is generally assigned to all registered students, staff and faculty. Parking is provided on-site
with a striped surface parking lot. There are no distinguished parking areas, other than for required
accessible parking spaces. There are a total of 180 marked spaces located to the north, west and
south of the property. Overflow parking is handled by use of the unmarked surface lot to the east,
between the Main building and Building D.
PROGRAM INFORMATION / INSTITUTIONAL DATA OVERVIEW – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VI., Page 44
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
As part of the campus parking evaluation, the consultants have prepared the “Students on Campus”
chart (see Appendix A.) based on Fall 2009 headcount. This study was also factored into the
preparation of the space utilization analyses, covered in Section VII.C.i. Based on this study, the
average peak period of student building use over the course of the week occurred at 9 AM with a
count of 142 students, leaving a surplus of 38 spaces. With the addition of staff (headcount
information covered in Section VI.F.), it appears that the striped parking is adequate for the largest
building population. It is important to note the data excludes those groups not represented in FTE
enrollment, so the present count can conceivably accommodate those groups.
v. Athletics SCCC West Campus does not have, nor is it affiliated with, any sports teams. Presently there are
no organized clubs at the campus offering recreational/sport activities.
vi. Libraries The West Campus has access to the PCC Southwest Campus Library system through online
databases, with physical resources located at nearby Cortez Public Library, along with online access
to all PCC Campuses, and regional library databases with Cortez Public Library, Durango Public
Library, Mancos Public Library and the John F. Reed Library at Fort Lewis College.
vii. Class Scheduling During the reporting period of this Facilities Master Plan, the scheduling for classrooms and
laboratory facilities was coordinated by the Campus Dean working with an on-site scheduler. The
Dean reports to the President of PCC. viii. Facilities Maintenance and Annual Operations, Maintenance and Utility Costs As a division of Pueblo Community College, facilities maintenance for the SCCC West is under the
head of the Director of Facilities Services at the Pueblo Campus. On-site management is tasked to
the Facilities Coordinator, who is responsible for the day to day operations and maintenance.
Annual Operation, Maintenance and Utility Costs Based on reports from the Facilities Coordinator, the following table outlines the annual costs for
operating and maintaining the facility at the SCCC West Campus:
Budget Item

$ 436,543.52 / 168 FTE = $2,598.47
ix. Relevant Institutional Space Allocation Guidelines The consultants referred to several sources for guidelines used in this Master Plan in ascertaining
the College’s projections, covered in detail in Section VII.C. The Colorado Community College
System Office recently established space utilization guidelines in late Spring of 2010. The Colorado
Department of Higher Education likewise has set standards for higher education facilities. Planning

FTE Enrollment Both SCCC East Campus’ and SCCC West campus’ enrollment trends, as well as the overall PCC
campus populations and the Online and Inmate populations are documented in the following chart
and graph. It is important to note that the current database system Banner was implemented in Fall
of 2006; prior to that time SIS was the database system. Given the difference in database systems
and to maintain reporting consistency, the past four years of Semester FTE are tracked (Fall 2006 –
Fall 2009) to compare with projections up to 2014. In addition, the FTEs represented in this
Facilities Master Plan reflect the “Course Campus FTE”; they are not “Priority Campus” FTE which
include the online FTEs. SCCC East’s enrollment projections show a marginal but steady increase,
reflected in anticipated economic recovery for the five county region and its anticipated service area
population increase of 2.04% average annual percentage change in the master plan period. Of
particular note is the overall increase in population in the Census Data between years 2000 and
2010, as the five county region saw an average jump of 16.65%, reflected in the State of Colorado’s
increase of 16.92%. San Juan, Archuleta, and La Plata Counties were the greatest beneficiaries,
with increases of 25.27%, 22.09% and 16.82% respectively. Furthermore, population change by
individual town indicated that the city of Mancos saw an increase of 19.39% between years 2000
and 2010, underscoring the need for SCCC West to anticipate growth.

CCCS Strategic Plan – Key Performance Measures: Ages 14 – 64 In addition to the study of the Five Counties’ overall population trend line average increase of 2.04%
increase for the master plan period, average data from the Census Bureau was collected on the age
range of 14 – 64, the target age range for the community college student. The next graph studies
the population for this age group in the subject counties and the FTE enrollments at the SCCC West
campus – historic and projected into 2014. Trend lines superimposed on both graphs appear to be
unparallel, highlighting the vastly higher rate of growth projections of SCCC West’s enrollment to that
of the steady growth anticipated for the Five Counties service area (over 15:1).

SCCC West Campus Basic Enrollment Data - Headcount Note: See Volume 1, Section II.G. for PCC Online and Corrections enrollments.
Comparisons of the combined headcount figures for the West Campus and the East Campus are
being made with those of the Southwest Center drawn from the 2006 Basic Enrollment Data (Fall of
2005) as they share the same service project areas. Comparisons indicate the following:
Overall enrollment for both campuses suggests a growth of 43% (2006 projections indicated 10% growth);
The average percentage of full-time students showed a decrease from the Southwest Center figure
of 73.4% in 2005 to an average of 33.5%. This marked contrast suggests the adjustment in
dynamics with concurrent enrollment students (those attending both college and high school);
Note: Linear trend lines of the Five Counties 14-64 population and Mancos FTE show unparallel rates of growth.

Female students continue to make up the majority of students, with the exception of the West
Campus. The resultant disparity between male students decreased over this time period by 16%. It
is important to distinguish that the Female to Male ratio at Durango is almost 2:1, while the Female
to Male ratio at Mancos is 1:1.33;
Students attending at both East/West campuses are still overwhelmingly resident status, though the
current West Campus suggests a 3:1 ratio compared to the 2005 overall Southwest Center having a
near 4:1 ratio;
Ethnicity continues to show similar make-up, with White-Non-Hispanics and American
Indian/Alaskan Natives comprising the majority of students;
The average age of the East/West Campus student is 26.8, down from 27.9 in Fall of 2005. SCCC
West’s continued efforts to recruit concurrent enrollment (CHE) students reflect the slight shift in
demographic patterns from student populations in the 2006 Institutional Data. The average age for
SCCC West at 25.7 is the youngest of all PCC campuses;
The top resident students’ zip codes suggest residents from the same zip codes from 2005 are
attending.
The following tables and graphs, “Student Demographics” and “SCCC West Campus Student
Resident Demographic Data by Zip Code” provide the headcount makeup of enrolled students. In

Map data © 2011 Google maps
The zip code information and map suggest that in Fall 2009 three in four FTE students lived within a
25 mile radius of the SCCC West Campus, that number mostly concentrated between the
communities of Cortez, Mancos and Dolores; a large part of the remaining number was represented
by communities east e.g. Durango and Bayfield, and as far south as Farmington, New Mexico, an
approximate one hour drive to campus. Summary of Demographics A review of the demographics present some interesting patterns of growth that SCCC West should
consider in planning enrollments. Though the present economy is largely dictating the rate of growth
and the ability to address that growth, the five county service area has a youth dynamic that will
directly impact the future of the SCCC West Campus. The pre-college programs have introduced a
much younger population to the traditional college adult environment. There is a steady increase of
high school enrollments reported among community colleges statewide*. High school-aged students
are participating in programs alongside adult students as part of concurrent enrollment offerings. The

14-64 age range graphs reveal a steadily increasing growth for this segment of the population. The
overall socialization, academic maturation, and environmental adaptations for this youthful segment
are special needs to factor into planning. Many of these students do not have their own
transportation, nor are some of legal driving age. In addition, the five counties region is anticipating a
growth trend. More resident students are part-timers, a reverse of the SWC Fall 2005 enrollment
profile. More male students over females are attending. All these factors become important
considerations on building use and traffic congestion.
*Source: “Fall 2009 Fact Book”, CCCS Office www.cccs.edu, “Fall 2007 – 2009 High School Student Enrollment*”,

14% per year.
SCCC West Campus Enrollment Distribution by Organizational Unit The Enrollment Distribution by Organizational Unit chart below identifies enrollment for the 2009 fall
semester as well as projected growth for the 2014 fall semester at the SCCC West Campus.
Fall 2009 enrollments reveal the highest to be in
the Business and Technology Division programs,
Welding, Driving, ASE (Auto Service Technology)
and HEQ, (Heavy Equipment Operator) along with
English and Math in the Arts and Sciences Division.
Emergency Medical Services and Nurse Aid with
the Health Professions Division, were the next
highest.

VI.H. INSTITUTION’S PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO SERVICE AREA ECONOMY
The CCCS Strategic Plan includes the Student Success Goal: “The demands of Colorado
businesses and communities shall be met through the development of a highly skilled workforce.”
SCCC West Campus / Pueblo Community College’s commitment to being a proactive education
partner with their immediate community and beyond is evident through their academic program
offerings designed with Career and Technology Education in mind. Programs in the Health
Professions, First Responders and Business are particularly connected to the Five County region.
Nurse Aide, respiratory care, and paramedic training continue to be in demand in rural communities
that are a distance away from medical facilities. Skills developed through the Business Management
curriculum help prepare students to compete and navigate the ever-changing business climate,
while other training programs help to meet regional needs in the mining, oil and gas industries.
Concurrent enrollment programs, which allow high school students the opportunities to earn college
credits while they continue their high school coursework are geared to exposing young people to
career-oriented programs. SCCC West Campus has agreements with local school districts to
provide some of these programs at the high schools to preclude transporting the students from their
high schools to the college campus.
It is important to note that Southwest Colorado Community College, a division of Pueblo Community
College, works closely with many companies, organization and agencies through partnerships,
grants and contracts. Combined partnering organizations for both the East and West campuses
include:

These valued relationships underscore the major role in the College’s impact to local, regional and
state economies. In addition, Pueblo Community College has been the recipient of many grants and
awards which allows the College to enact programs that support the communities of the campuses’
respective service areas. Furthermore, the proximity of the SCCC West Campus to nearby Mesa
Verde National Park affords a synergy with the famous parkland renowned for its well preserved
historical and cultural archeological sites.
Industry Training Center The following is an excerpt from an article* from the website Newswire affiliated with Colorado
Community Colleges, describing the impact of SCCC West Campus’ Industry Training Center:
“Over the last two years, hundreds of individuals have received training at Southwest Colorado
Community College to prepare them to work in the energy and mining industries. In 2008, the
southwest and western Colorado Workforce regions were awarded $2 million to prepare people for
employment in the growing industries of oil & gas extraction and mining.
“Colorado Workforce partnered with the former San Juan Basin Technical College and is now
partnered with Southwest Colorado Community College (SCCC) to provide the hands-on training in
courses such as heavy equipment operations, commercial driving, mine safety, welding, and CAD
(Computer-Aided Design). Individuals came from throughout the Four Corners region to participate
in the training courses held at SCCC’s West campus in Mancos.
“The training for this project was conducted through SCCC’s Industry Training Center, a department
of the college that focuses on providing customized business training… development of short-term
training courses with the intention of getting people to work quickly.
“…This effort was part of a Community-Based Job Training grant from the US Department of Labor’s
Employment and Training Administration. Grant funds covered the cost of tuition, supplies and fees
in order to make the training affordable.”

buildings, three storage structures, one storage structure slated for demolition, and one radio station
(not owned by the College, nor part of the building inventory). See Figure M. The developed area of
the campus site is roughly one tenth of the whole site, which is approximates 40 acres. It is situated
in a remote location along Highway 160, near the entrance drive to Mesa Verde National Park. The
property is presently labeled “UNZ” (unzoned) by the Montezuma County Land Use Code. The area
surrounding the property is primarily Bureau of Land Management property, which is largely
undeveloped open space, consisting of forested area. To the west of the property is a rest area
maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) at milepost 46.42, which has a
picnic area and restroom facilities.

The Secured Storage Building (Storage), located at the southwest, is approximately 1,612 gross
square feet. It is a one-story building.
The Storage Building (Storage), located at the northeast, is composed of two small one-story
structures (1,386 GSF and 603 GSF). They combine for approximately 1,989 gross square feet.
As the latter two buildings are storage, they are not represented in the campus inventory and the
Campus Space Analysis Needs. Also, two structures are highlighted on the plan and are not part of
the inventory. The Radio Station, which is neither owned nor operated by SCCC West / PCC, is
located at the southwest corner of the site and is approximately 1,440 gross square feet. A storage
type structure, of approximately 1,302 square feet, is located to the north and is scheduled for
demolition. VII.C. CURRENT SPACE INVENTORY / PROJECTIONS TABLES i. Current Space Utilization by Space Type in Relation to Department Space Utilization Guidelines Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 course and
facility data for the SCCC West Campus received by PCC’s Office of Institutional Research and
Accreditation through Banner, and scheduling information from SCCC West Campus administrative
staff. The utilization analyses includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as
utilization analyzing weekly room hours of use and student station occupancy percentage. This
information assisted in the formulation of the classroom and laboratory guideline applications for
SCCC West Campus in association with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community
College System office in concert with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed
space inventory for the SCCC West Campus is located in Appendix B. The Space Utilization table is
located in Appendix D.
In addition, the consultants, met with Pueblo Campus and SCCC West Campus administration at
both the Pueblo Campus and the SCCC West Campus, throughout separate efforts for the Facilities
Master Plan, the Facility Audit and Exterior Improvement Design Services, to gather additional
information on space needs, documenting the most current layouts provided by Facilities staff. This
information combined with enrollment data were used to perform the space needs analyses. Space
needs were compared to existing space at the SCCC West campus to determine surpluses and
deficits.
Classrooms The 2010 CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” defines college classrooms as
rooms used for scheduled classes that are not limited in their use to a specific subject or discipline.
College classrooms include general purpose classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, auditoriums,
and computer classrooms that are not software specific. Classroom service space supports one or
more classrooms, providing media support, preparation areas or storage.
SCCC West Campus has a total of 11 classrooms. Combined with the classroom service area, the
campus has a total of 8,235 ASF.

The 2010 CCCS guideline for classrooms utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:
Space Factor = Average Station Size
Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week
This equation produces a Space Factor of 0.77. This space factor is multiplied by the Weekly
Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for both the Fall Semester
Base Year and Target Year:
Fall 2009 = 0.77 x 2,428 = 1,870 ASF
Fall 2014 = 0.77 x 4,856 = 3,739 ASF
Given that the existing classroom/service area is 8,235 ASF, this calculation indicates a large
surplus of classroom space for both the base year and the target year.
Teaching Laboratories Teaching laboratories are rooms used predominantly for regularly scheduled classes that require
special equipment for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice. The 2010
CCCS “Space Utilization Guidelines for Master Planning” identified multiple categories for teaching
laboratories with recommended ASF for their respective spaces. Student Stations are noted to
include service spaces.
SCCC West Campus had eight teaching laboratories in use during Fall 2009; several others were
inactive at this time. Combined with the teaching lab service area, the campus has a total of 22,284
ASF. Among the teaching lab types found at the campus are: Computer Science, Multi-media, Auto
CAD, Auto Repair, Electronics, Nursing, Building Trades, and Welding. The recently added Health
Professions program of Cosmetology (Spring 2010) is assigned similar recommendations as Clinic-
type spaces.
The CCCS guideline for teaching laboratories utilizes a formula which determines a space factor:
Space Factor = Average Station Size
Station Occupancy x Total Hours/Week
2010 CCCS Guideline: 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories
2010 CCCS Guideline: 80% laboratories
2010 CCCS Guideline: ASF - varies Average Assignable Square Footage
2010 CCCS Guideline: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms;

The consultants identified four teaching laboratory space types (Auto Repair, CAD, Electronics,
Multi-media, and Welding) for the SCCC West Campus in Fall 2009. Using the CSSS guideline
factors, listed below, the consultants determined an average ASF for the SCCC West Campus.
Teaching Lab Type Teaching Lab ASF General Science – Dry Lab 55 General Science – Wet Lab 65 Chemistry and Physics 65 Dining Teaching 22 Business 33 Music 39 Art - average 58 Nursing 100 Health Sciences 100 Cosmetology 100 similar to clinical space Foreign Language 40 Multi-media 75 Computer Science 37 Drafting / Auto CAD 35 - 40 Auto Repair 240 Building Trades 210 Electronics (bench type) 50 Machine Shop, Wood Shop 60 Welding 100
The breakdown of the guideline ASF space factors used for SCCC West Campus’ teaching
laboratories is as follows:
Auto Repair = two labs at 100 each
Auto CAD = one lab at 40
Electronics = three labs at 50 each
Multi-media = one lab at 75
Welding = one lab at 100
Average Assignable Square Footage = 105.63.
Applying this average to the equation, the Space Factor is calculated to be 4.72. This space factor
is multiplied by the Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) – see Appendix D for WSCH totals – for
both the Fall Semester Base Year and Target Year:
Fall 2009 = 4.72 x 553 = 2,610 ASF
Fall 2014 = 4.72 x 1106 = 5,220 ASF
Given that the existing teaching laboratory/service area is 22,284 ASF, this calculation indicates a
large surplus of teaching lab space for both the base year and the target year.
Open Laboratory CEFPI defines the open laboratory having “disparate functions” as computer laboratories with
discipline specific software or where access is limited, group and individual music practice rooms,
and studios for independent study. Intensity of use and station size may be varied to meet
institutional requirements. Open Lab space at SCCC West Campus is primarily assigned for the
campus Learning and Testing Centers. The space requirement is calculated by multiplying a Space
Factor by the fall FTE; CEFPI assigns an average of 4.9 ASF/FTE. For the Fall 2009 guideline, the
consultant chose this 4.9 factor: 4.9 x 168 = 823 ASF. For the Fall 2014 guideline: 4.9 x 336 =
1,008 ASF.
Office Space The Colorado Department of Higher Education has established guidelines for office space:
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 61
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
Staffing Type Office ASF
President 300
Vice President/Dean 250
Department Chair / Manager 200
Faculty 130
Supervisor 130
Technical / Paraprofessional 120
Clerical / Secretarial 100
Office space is determined by multiplying the space factor guidelines by FTE. The SCCC West
Campus has two types of general office space: Academic Office and Administrative Office. In
general, office space was reported to have surplus for both administrative and academic spaces.
Space recommendations were assigned as follows:
Academic: Fall 2009 Faculty FTE was reported at 8 FTE, comprised of department chairs/directors,
faculty, adjunct instructors, and faculty support. CEFPI recommends using a fraction for adjuncts
and students, such as ½ faculty for part-time and ¼ for students:
Department Chairs/Directors (2 x 200) + Faculty (6 x 130) + Part-time/Adjunct ½ (13) x 130 +
Hourly/Students ¼ (5) x 5 = 400 + 780+ 845 + 7 = 2,032 ASF
Administrative: Fall 2009 Administrative FTE (Administration, APT, Classified, and all non-academic
deans) information for the Pueblo Campus was reported at 12 FTE. Space recommendations were
assigned as follows:
Fall 2009: Dean (non-academic) (1 x 250) + APT (3 x 150) + Classified (8 x 100) = 250 + 450 + 800
= 1,500 ASF
Fall 2014 with planned additional staffing: Dean (1 x 250) + APT (4.5 x 150) + Classified (9.5 x 100)
= 250 + 675 + 950 = 1,875 ASF
Administrative office space at the SCCC West Campus also includes the Go!Zone registration area,
which encompasses student stations. The consultant chose the 12% of FTE factor similar to the
CEFPI for Study Space multiplied by 35 ASF/user: (.12 x 168) x 35 = 706 ASF. Additionally, the
staff conference room and internal lounge are part of Office Space; the consultant used the CEFPI
space factor of 25 ASF/ total staff headcount: 25 x 34= 850 ASF. Therefore, total Other
Administrative Office space requirements = 706 + 850 = 1,556 ASF. An additional 908 ASF was
entered for Fall 2014 for potential meeting room space (see “Assembly and Exhibit” below) =
2,464 ASF.
Library It bears mentioning the impact of the Pueblo Campus Library and their resources to the overall
campus population and that of the SCCC West Campus with regard to space inventory. Usage of
the Library resources is up, with resources being utilized 763,746 times in fiscal year July 09 – June
10, a 179% increase over the previous fiscal year (July 08 – June 09). Current Library available
resources applicable to the SCCC West Campus with utilization figures for FY 09-10 include:
Online catalog usage: 197,750 searches and full text retrieval
ebooks: 16,388 (netLibrary and Stat!Ref); accessed 2,958 times
Online Databases: 30; accessed 457,065 times
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 62
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
Online Reference: All campuses have access to online reference services through EBSCO Host’s
Ask a Librarian. In addition there is a link on all campus library pages to the PCC Library’s email
reference assistance.
This trend of online usage will likewise impact course delivery and ultimately Library access/usage
patterns, as patron numbers increase. For the 2009 guideline the consultant chose to modify
CEFPI’s Study Facilities (400) space factor to determine space for a Resource Center, a place with
computer stations for research and the ability to check out department specific materials with
appropriate secured storage. The Space Factor for study stations is 35 ASF per user; user is a % of
total FTE, with 12% for FTE undergraduate students and 5% for faculty. The space factor was
reduced to 20 ASF, but space includes area for processing.
The consultants arrived at the following guidelines: Fall 2009 = 20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 168) + (0.05
x 8)] = 412 ASF; Fall 2014 = 20 ASF / user x [(0.12 x 336) + 0.05 x 13)] = 820 ASF
Assembly and Exhibit CEFPI defines assembly spaces, as spaces designed for large group events such as plays, concerts
or commencement, and includes theaters, concert halls, and auditoriums. The recommendation for
two year institutions for the first 5,000 FTE is to be assigned a core of 14,000 ASF. The SCCC West
Campus presently has no formal assembly space; the largest space available in the Main Building
on the second level has serious life safety deficiencies - structural, accessibility, rated corridor, fire
separation rating, fire sprinkler system, adequate ventilation - requiring major reconstruction. As the
College’s FTE and projected 5 year growth is minimal relative to the CEFPI FTE, the consultant
reduced the core guideline to 5,000 ASF.
A conceptual study was undertaken in 2009 to investigate potential building growth. The consultants
used the figure of 5,634 GSF for potential assembly space for 2014. A 60-seat Meeting Room was
added to the “Other Administrative Space” category, a total of 908 ASF.
CEFPI cites exhibit spaces are to be assigned a product of a Space Factor and FTE, where
institutions less than 3,000 FTE utilize 1.5 ASF / FTE, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF. The SCCC
West Campus utilizes a wall of their Student Lounge area, which is in effect a formal exhibit space,
although the Lounge itself can accommodate exhibits. For the 2009 guideline, the consultant will
utilize the CEFPI minimum of 2,000 ASF, while the Fall 2014 guideline = 2,000 + 5,634 = 7,634 ASF.
Physical Plant The existing SCCC West Campus has 6,236 ASF of Physical Plant/Support Facilities. CEFPI
guidelines for support services use a 6% space factor of total building ASF, which excludes the 700
code rooms (server room, mail facilities, shop areas). The Fall 2009 guideline = .06 x (45,591) =
2,736 ASF. The Fall 2014 guideline added in the planned auditorium space for a recommendation =
3,426 ASF.
Auxiliary Space: Student Lounge The SCCC West Campus presently utilizes a centralized space in the Main Building as the Student
Commons Lounge, along with corresponding student lounge spaces in both “A” Building and “B”
Building, combining for an aggregate total of 2,117 ASF. The consultants chose this number for the
Fall 2009 guideline; in consideration of CEFPI’s recommendation of 3 ASF/FTE = 3 x 168 = 504
ASF, the larger figure was more appropriate to accommodate the physical break out of the lounge
spaces, the commuter student needs and growth.
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 63
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
Fitness Center A traditional fitness center with equipment would be desired for the EMS program at the SCCC West
Campus, though space is not formally programmed for a specialized use as a Fitness Center, as the
consultants presume the surplus teaching laboratory space would accommodate these needs.
Bookstore The Bookstore is a Merchandising-type space, involved in the sale of goods and services, per
CEFPI definition. A Space Factor of 2 ASF/FTE is the guideline, with a minimum of 2,000 ASF: 2 x
172 = 344 ASF. As the campus renovated office space to create a 1,349 ASF bookstore prior to the
merger and Fall 2009, the consultant chose to use this latter figure as the guideline for the Bookstore
space for Fall 2009 and 2014.
Conclusion In summary, the Space Needs Analysis determined that the Master Plan guidelines based on Fall
2009 enrollment required a total of 19,005 ASF, just over one third of the existing 51,827 ASF, with
an ASF/FTE of 113.12, confirming a surplus of 32,822 ASF. The combined guideline base year
ASF/FTE for Academic and Academic Support Space categories netted 92.49.13 ASF/FTE, which is
well above the State guideline, 44 ASF/FTE for satellite/branch campuses, supporting the reality that
the campus has ample academic space. The building’s history with vocational tech programs lends
itself to larger teaching laboratory spaces, giving the campus flexibility for space planning. This
availability of academic space will have the ability to support growth of existing as well as new
programs into the target year and beyond.

ii. Overview of Current Space Utilization Utilization of the classrooms and teaching laboratories was reviewed using Fall 2009 credit course
enrollment and facility data for the SCCC West Campus. Excluded from the enrollment data are
non-credit courses, online, hybrid, private instruction, and independent studies. As the SCCC West
Campus offers morning through evening sessions throughout the weekdays, and weekend sessions,
data was analyzed to determine the high use hours by the building for 42 hours for classrooms and
28 hours for teaching laboratories (Appendix A.). For both classroom and teaching laboratories,
these peak hours occurred primarily Monday through Thursday, between 8:00am through 7:00pm,
with some classroom time extended into 9:00pm on Mondays. The utilization analyses, as set by
current CCCS guidelines, includes scheduled room use by day and time of day, as well as utilization
analyzing weekly room hours of use, and weekly student (scheduled) contact hours (WSCH)* by
students in credit courses, and student station occupancy as a expressed percentage of room
station count multiplied by the state guidelines of 42 hours (classrooms) and 28 hours (laboratories).
* Weekly student (or scheduled) contact hours = the number of equivalent hours (50-minute hours) that seats are
occupied in a week during scheduled on-campus classes.
Utilization (%) = No. of Stations Occupied x Hours/Week Occupied
Capacity No. of Stations x Total Hours/Week
In using this formula, course enrollments that are considered out of the high use hours times, were
excluded from the overall utilization percentage calculations. This would potentially eliminate
courses with low enrollments and/or low contact hour classes. In addition to the formulation of the
building utilization, data for assignable square footage (ASF) per student was collected to determine
planning for classroom and laboratory guideline applications for SCCC West Campus in association
with the space guidelines set by the Colorado Community College System office in concert with the
Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Detailed space inventory for the individual buildings at
the SCCC West Campus can be found in Appendix B. Space Utilization tables are located in
Appendix D.
The Fall 2009 Utilization Summary is as follows:
2010 CCCS Guidelines: 42 Hours day/evening use facility for Classrooms; 28 Hours day/evening use facility for Laboratories
Number of stations as identified in the Room inventory
WSCH: Weekly Student Contact Hours

Utilization Analysis by Student Station Occupancy (SSO) – Day and Hour / Building Usage Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009
The SCCC West Campus Fall 2009 student station occupancy utilizations demonstrated the campus
had largely surplus classroom and laboratory space. Classroom Utilizations showed an average
among all campus buildings at 30%, well below the State’s target of 68%, with Building ‘A’ - the
Industry Training Center, as the exception showing a high utilization of 81%; Classroom A1 at 75%
served MIT (Medical Imaging Technology) and Driving courses, while Classroom A2 served Heavy
Equipment Operator courses.
Laboratory usage analysis for the campus average likewise, showed low student station occupancy
utilization at 19%, well under the State’s target of 80%. Refer to Appendix D for a complete review
and summaries of student station occupancy utilization analysis.
Utilization Analysis by Room Capacity Based on FTE enrollments for Fall 2009
An analysis of utilization by room capacity was likewise studied for Classroom and Laboratory room
categories; the data is tracked on the following charts. The majority of SCCC West Campus’
classrooms and teaching laboratories is in the 20 and under capacity. The Classroom findings
revealed most SSO use showed the highest rate of usage at the larger capacity 21 – 30 (75%)
though this represented one classroom (A1) out of eleven classrooms. Building ‘A’ had the highest
SSO use among the campus buildings shown for 20 and under capacity.

classrooms in the larger capacity rooms, though not the larger physical room size. Though teaching
laboratory space fell in one room size category, it is important to note the relationship of furnishing
and equipment needs in considering proper laboratory size. The one teaching laboratory space that
registered the highest weekly course section hours was 128 (Main Building) for Cisco Networking at
18 hours.

VII.D. FACILITY CONDITIONS INDEX A Facility Condition Index is a numerical rating of the overall condition of a building and its
component on a 0 – 100 scale. Zero (0) would be considered a building that has just been
demolished and One Hundred (100) would have just been newly constructed. For the ratings in
between, State Buildings has provided the following interpretations:
99 – 95 Routine or Minor Maintenance needed
94 – 75 Major Maintenance is needed
74 – 55 Remodel is needed
54 – 35 Extensive Renovation is needed
34 – 1 Demolish, cannot be satisfactorily renovated
Pueblo Community College presented its report “Facility Walk - Observation and Comments”, dated
August 2008, to the consultants, detailing an overview of fire, life safety, and ADA issues for the
campus site and its buildings. This report preceded the merger between Pueblo Community College
and the San Juan Basin Technical Center to create the SCCC West Campus. In Year 2009, the
College self-conducted a facility audit for six of the eight campus buildings. The consultants have
produced a facility audit report for three buildings - Main Building, Building C (the “Med Shed”) and
Building D (“Unoccupied” Storage Building). The FCIs and recommendations will be made available
to the College for future incorporation into the Facilities Master Plan.
Year 2009
In Year 2009, Pueblo Community College prepared facility audits for the Motor Storage Building
(referred to in the Master Plan as the “Building Scheduled for Demolition”), the North Building,
Maintenance Shop (referred to in the Master Plan as the “Storage Building”, composed of two
structures), the West Storage Building (referred to in the Master Plan as the “Secured Storage
Building”), the Industrial Training Center, the Welding Shop, and the Med Shed (referred to in the
Master Plan as the “Building C”). As described in the following narrative, the FCI ratings developed
during this facility audit were reported as follows:
29.60 Motor Storage
34.42 North Building, Maintenance Shop
82.45 West Storage Building
55.16 Industrial Training Center
93.98 Welding Shop
62.06 Med Shed
Within the reporting for this Facilities Master Plan, there were no previous audit findings for all
buildings for comparison purposes. The Motor Storage Building was identified in the “Demolish,
cannot be satisfactorily renovated” category; as such, the building is scheduled for demolition. The
North Building, Maintenance Shop, was also identified in the “Demolish, cannot be satisfactorily
renovated” category, though in the upper range. The West Storage Building is in the mid range of
the “Major Maintenance is needed” category. The Industrial Training Center is in the low end of
“Remodel is needed” category. The Welding Shop, as the newest building on campus, was identified
in the high end of “Major Maintenance is needed” category. The Med Shed was identified in the mid
range of “Remodel is needed” category.

VII.E. TOPOGRAPHIC MAP The topography of the West Campus site is relatively flat at the main building location, with an
overall general slope from the south toward the northwest. The 1972 documents identify the finished
elevation of the Main Building at 6,644 feet above sea level. Toward the south, the topography rises
up toward Highway 160, with a datum point found to be 23 feet above the campus elevation. It is
important to note that per the International Building Code, the location of the campus site, by virtue
of its elevation is pre-disposed to snow load design for Mancos, which is approximately 200 feet
higher in elevation than the town of Cortez.

VII.F. SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS / 100 YEAR FLOOD MAP
The consultants had access to two soils reports provided by the College: (1) one performed in 1971
by Kal Zeff and Associates, Ltd., for the original Vocational Technical School, the Main Building; and
(2) one performed in 2006 by Trautner Geotech, a division of Trigon, EPC, for the Welding Shop,
Building B, located approximately 100 yards to the northwest of the Main Building.
The findings in the 1971 report noted the following: “The site is located in what is geologically
known as the Mancos Shale formation. This formation consists of preconsolidated sediments of
cretaceous age. The most important aspect of this formation is that it contains varying amount of
the clay mineral montmorillonite. This clay mineral has the ability to expand to many times its
original volume when subjected to increases in moisture content.”* Further, the report cited “very
stiff to hard, desicated, sandy clays” at footing levels of “medium plasticity and exhibit moderate
to very high volume change characteristics when wetted”.* Caissons drilled through potentially
swelling materials into the weathered bedrock strata was the recommended foundation system.
Though reported to possess swelling characteristics when wetted, the weathered bedrock
(shale) was noted to have hardness and very low permeability, that moisture intrusion into the
shale is difficult, and swelling unlikely.
*Source: Kal Zeff and Associates, Ltd., 1971.
The 2006 report identified man placed fill material comprised of medium dense gravel and clay soil
in 2 of 3 borings advanced, another layer of stiff clay soil with sand below that, and noted the same
Mancos Formation material below those layers, “inter-bedded layers of shale and sandstone”.* The
clay soil samples had a “measured swell pressure of about 7,400 pounds per square foot and a
Figure O. Land Use Map. Topographic site plan highlighting general slope of site from south to northwest.

swell potential magnitude of about nineteen (19) percent under a 100 pound per square foot
surcharge load.”* The report recommended the foundation system be designed “as rigid as is
reasonably possible”* and “isolated pad footings be avoided”*. The report further recommended a
subsurface drain system “be considered behind foundation walls where expansive soils have been
identified”2, and “pipe should be graded to surface outlets or a sump vault…surrounded by fabric
wrapped free-draining material”.* Preconstruction scarification, moisture conditioning and re-
compaction of natural soils were recommended for those areas proposed for concrete flatwork –
interior and exterior.
*Source: Trautner Geotech, a division of Trigon, EPC, 2006.
Soil movement has had a major physical impact on the existing buildings, evidenced by damaged
slabs and masonry cracks, among those impacts. Refer to Section VII.D. for additional information.
100 Year Flood Map As of October 1, 2009, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has transitioned from a
paper format of flood hazard data to a digital format. Information on flood hazard data for the SCCC
West Campus was obtained upon review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 08083C0850C*,
dated September 6, 2008. The campus site is an un-shaded area, which is outside any floodplain
area. More information can be accessed at the referenced website.

VII.G. CIRCULATION SYSTEMS
Source: Stephen Hall Architects Drawing not to scale
i. Pedestrian Circulation The campus buildings on site are laid out relatively functionally, with the Main Building at the core of
the campus structures and all other buildings sited some distance away, separated by parking lots.
There are established sidewalks around the Main Building, which connect building entrances to
parking. Lack of landscaped areas, for the most part preclude formal walkways between buildings.
It is presumed general pedestrian traffic takes the straightest path between building entrances. The
Main Building has one established accessible entrance from adjacent parking at the south side. The
other buildings’ entrances are non-compliant: Building ‘A’ requires a makeshift “gulley ramp” to
traverse from gravel area into the building; Building ‘B’ has a perimeter concrete walk that abuts the
building to dirt parking; Building ‘C’ requires the use of two steps to access the building at the
building’s two entrances. Building ‘D’, though unoccupied, has one an exterior paved area to its east
that could create an accessible entrance.

Maintenance of walkways is critical during snow season, particularly at the north parking lot, which
receives very little sun exposure in the months of low angled sun due to the high building profile
casting long shadows. Walkways must continually be scraped to prevent ice buildup. The site is
also exposed to prevailing southwesterly winds. With the lack of protective tree breaks, or similar
structures, the buildings provide the main “shield” for pedestrians.
ii. Vehicular Circulation Traffic enters from U.S. Highway 160. A perimeter road is established around the Main Building and
allows two-way traffic through the building areas. As such, this helps facilitate vehicle movement
and allows for a fire loop road.
iii. Bicycle Circulation The remote location of the campus site creates a distance challenge for this mode of
transportation. At present there are no bicycle rack provisions.
VII.H. UTILITY SYSTEMS

i. Water Systems Domestic water is supplied by Mancos Water District. Currently the main line feeding the campus is
a 2” copper water line from the south. There are 2” plastic lines running to the “D” Building, the “A”
Building and on to the Radio Station. Water lines to the Welding building “B” and the Med Shed are

fed from the Main Building. The College will be reviewing the addition of an upgraded line for fire
protection service. The appropriate authorities having jurisdiction will be consulted for review of size
and placement of a service line.
The campus is presently upgrading their wastewater system – sewage lagoons for treatment and
disposal, located to the northwest of the campus buildings. Capacity is being enlarged with the
addition of a fourth structure to accommodate the growth of the campus facilities and use.
ii. Heating Systems The site uses propane gas as the main fuel for heating. The boiler for the Main Building was
replaced in 2007.
iii. Electric Systems Electrical service comes into the site overhead at a pole located near the campus entrance drive at
the southwest corner of the site, and runs underground in the vicinity of the west parking lot, and is
routed around the area north of the buildings. Though internal performance is reported to be
satisfactory, overall electrical service is not reliable.
iv. Technology Infrastructure The SCCC West Campus is networked with the Pueblo Community College system. At the time of
the merger wireless systems and other infrastructure were being introduced on site and installed by
Qwest. At present, the campus’ specific needs revolve around increasing bandwidth to improve the
networking.
VII.I. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The SCCC West Campus does not have it own formal storm water management plan. The nature of
soils at the Campus site has made it prone to erosion, leaving the building foundations vulnerable on
occasions of high run-off. There are no collection systems in place, either on the ground or on most
of the buildings, which can properly divert water away from these structures. The Main Building has
a gutter and downspout system, which requires constant monitoring and maintenance.
VII.J. ATHLETICS / PARKS / RECREATIONAL FIELDS / OPEN SPACE The campus site has abundant open space though largely undeveloped. The north end of the
property is being utilized for outdoor training skills by the Law Enforcement Academy students for
field surveillance activity. There are presently no athletic fields or parks established on the grounds.
Entrance to renowned Mesa Verde National Park is southeast of the campus property.
VII.K. ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CAMPUS AESTHETICS i. Architecture The buildings that make up the SCCC West campus are, at first glance, a linear mix of brick and
wood buildings, high bay doors, and metal shed type structures. They represent the working horse
vernacular of a vocational technical school. The first building, built in 1973 is the most prominent
structure, with a mix of flat and pitched metal roofs, structural brick with exposed brick façade, and
deep overhangs with exposed articulated glulams, reminiscent of the Pueblo Revival period with its
southwest vigas. Window openings are limited to small “punched openings”, except for the building’s
southern-facing central main entrance, with its wide glass openings. Signs of subsequent building
additions to this structure are evident, if not all complimentarily designed. The next largest building,
EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT / CONCLUSIONS – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VII., Page 74
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
Building D to the east, built in 1975, is a modest styled, pre-engineered metal building. After serving
time as the site of the SJBTC’s Construction Technology, Heavy Equipment/Diesel Technology, and
Welding programs, its present state of disrepair has rendered it unsuitable for occupancy. The
remaining buildings are pre-engineered metal buildings with low pitched roofs.
A distinct two-sided monument sign bearing the College’s logo on a tall post notifies travelers to the
location and presence of the campus.
The College has started to perform several in-house projects to bring the building up to current life
safety and accessibility codes.
ii. Scale The linear, low-lying scale of the buildings of the SCCC West Campus clearly identify with a
conventional or traditional school character. Surrounded by vast open land, their presence may
seem dwarfed, but they are appropriately scaled for their function.
iii. Materials The largest campus building, the Main Building, utilizes both flat and pitched membrane roofs, as
well as pitched metal roof. Exterior finishes include brick, which is no longer manufactured, plaster
and painted wood. A small addition with a shed metal roof and painted metal panel siding was
constructed in the mid 1990s at the southeast corner of the building. Building D has flat built up
roofs with painted metal panel siding. Buildings A, B, C, one minor storage building, and secured
storage are various periods of metal buildings with pre-finished metal panel siding that had recently
been painted. A second minor storage building has a pitched metal roof with wood lap siding. The
building currently housing the radio station operation has a pitched metal roof and painted
wonderboard siding. The Storage building currently scheduled for demolition, has a pitched asphalt
roof and wood lap siding. The color palette suggests earth tones, with PCC’s maroon branding color
utilized as an accent color.
iv. Urban Design With the location of the SCCC West Campus in a remote location, urban design issues do not apply.
m. Public Art The property has no public art installations. The College has designated a special area inside the
central Main Building, dubbed “Heritage Hall”, consisting of a collection of significant cultural and
historical photographs, news articles and items to establish a sense of place and permanence as a
higher educational institution for the Colorado southwest region.

VIII. THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE
In evaluating SCCC West Campus’ space needs and growth potential, 32,822 ASF surplus
academic spaces were identified, demonstrating ample space available space to potentially create
new teaching areas and service space within existing building inventory for future growth programs.
Primary consideration has been given to evaluating this inventory. Needs identified include:
• Review Facility Audit which will give an appraisal of the condition of the physical building infrastructure to
guide recommendations for renovation and maintenance projects.
• Plan for upgrades for the academic buildings in the areas of life safety and accessibility;
• Expand bandwidth to improve networking connections for online delivery;
• Establishment of proper maintenance and repair/replacement schedules;
• Exterior building and site enhancements to promote campus identity.
It is the recommendation of this Plan for SCCC West to continue building life safety upgrades and
space renovation plans as high priority projects, in review and organization of their surplus space.
occupant loads, traffic and site development. Additionally, the Plan also seeks to develop plans
promoting sustainable design. Section VIII.E., “Project Implementation Plan” will present the
College’s proposed projects in detail.
VIII.A. IDEAL FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAMS

i. Nature and Relationships of Land Zones The West Campus sits on an established, remote site along a major highway, surrounded by miles
of open space. Most of this open land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management. The West
Campus property is zoned “UNZ” (Unzoned) as identified in the Montezuma County Comprehensive
Land Use Plan.
Figure R. Drawing highlighting potential building area.
THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VIII., Page 76
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
ii. Functional Relationships within Land-use Zones The academic functions of the present campus buildings are supportive to the needs of the SCCC
West Campus. The one leased commercial building on site, a radio station, is a function that
compliments the commercial nature of the college.
iii. Flexibility for Growth Of all the Pueblo Community College campus sites, the SCCC West Campus possesses the most
flexibility in growth and buildable land area. Though soil conditions may limit the extent of building,
the areas surrounding the property afford little to no view restrictions nor setbacks, except for the
CDOT easement along U.S. Highway 160.
VIII.B. LAND COVERAGE DECISIONS i. Building Density with Building Zones The Main Building and the ‘B’ Building of the SCCC West Campus are the only buildings on site that
are one – two story in height and/or are one story with mezzanine areas. The remaining buildings
are one story in height. All other building structures in immediate surrounding areas are a maximum
of one story. Development of future building additions and respective maximum building height shall
consider the scale of the existing buildings and recommended guidelines per Montezuma County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for UNZ zones. Consideration should also be given to the elevation
of U.S. Highway 160 at approximately 20 feet higher than the base of the Main Building.
ii. Parking Facilities Current campus parking is addressed through surface parking lots. The needs for future parking up
to FY 2014 will be sufficiently met with the current parking lots at a total of 180 striped spaces, with
regularly monitored maintenance. Proposed building additions will need to evaluate accessibility,
parking needs and spaces provided. Comprehensive conceptual site drainage and conceptual site
lighting studies are recommended for those areas proposed for future parking in concert with
location relative to all buildings, as well as the recommended lighting guidelines per Montezuma
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan for UNZ zones.
VIII.C. CAMPUS PLANS AND SUPPORTING DATA i. Land Perimeter The SCCC West site is bounded by open space to the west, north and east sides, with U.S. Highway
160 to the property’s south, see Figure S. Plans are to maintain this perimeter for this master plan
period.

ii. Land Use Under a previous agreement between the Bureau of Land Management and San Juan Basin Vo-
tech School, all land use on this property is to be maintained and operated for educational purposes.
The SCCC West Campus site will continue to support higher education programs as part of the
Colorado Community College System.
iii. Circulation Systems and Vehicle Storage The present site and all proposed building additions should consider continuity of vehicular traffic,
particularly service vehicles and first responder vehicles. The present site has a distinguishable loop
road and should be maintained as such. As the College offers certificate programs in Diesel and
Heavy Equipment Technology and Commercial Driving Training, circulation patterns and parking
areas for these vehicles must be likewise maintained. At present only the Main Building provides
covered protected parking for vehicles in the automotive classes; all facility service vehicles utilize
outdoor parking.
All locations of established pedestrian walkways are sufficient for connections to buildings and
parking areas, though they must be regularly maintained to achieve not only safety but also
accessibility as required. All planned building additions should consider connection points to these
established walkways, as well as designing distinguished separation of vehicular circulation from
pedestrian circulation. iv. Utility systems, Including Technology Infrastructure As the College has recently undertaken utility infrastructure upgrades, namely the sewer lagoon
repairs, and electrical upgrades, any proposed plans for building modifications or additions should
consult the Facilities Master Plan and the Campus Facilities Director to determine the adequacy of
existing utilities. Technology infrastructure to support data and wireless capabilities was installed

prior to the merger so the necessary communication systems between PCC and SCCC would be in
place. The College would particularly like to strengthen the polycom technology as with the SCCC
site at Pagosa Springs.
v. Building Location Plans for future building addition or upgrades must consider location between existing buildings for
code purposes, distance from established easements and utilities, sun/shade/wind exposure, noise
impacts, as well as the impact of associated parking and traffic. Coordination should also include
discussions with the appropriate governing jurisdictions on matters concerning traffic patterns.
vi. Storm Water Management Plan Site drainage is a serious challenge at the SCCC West Campus. The presence of groundwater
discharging with every heavy snow/wet season is a present reality particularly with swelling soils. On
occasion, water runs under the Main Building crawlspace, requiring vigilant monitoring and major
cleaning effort. It is the recommendation of this Facilities Master Plan that the College undertake a
professional site survey to document drainage patterns and formulate recommendations for
addressing the current soils and impacts to the buildings. It is also recommended that College
leaders extend their understanding and knowledge of their campus site – drainage issues, diverting
systems, and how some problems can be abated, by offering education programs to the College
community and create awareness of these issues.
vii. Facility Staging Plan The expanse of open space around the campus site is beneficial for the College’s ability to stage
construction projects. The critical element is scheduling and locating temporary structures, the
transportation of materials and waste, and storage areas that do not disrupt with parking and
pedestrian patterns in and around the multiple academic buildings. The potential severity of
snowdrifts and ice buildup must be factored for protection of building materials and construction
activity and associated traffic.
VIII.D. CAMPUS PLANS TO CONTINUE OR RENEW AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS i. Aesthetic Narrative As SCCC West anticipates growth – both physically and in stature – the campus will seek to
establish and maintain their physical presence, representing the mission of Pueblo Community
College. As part of their purpose is an outreach to the surrounding communities, the campus site
represents a showcase-type opportunity and should reflect a modern and purposeful ideal. Located
off of Highway 160 and within relatively close proximity to a venerable National Park, the campus
has the potential to stand out, through building massing and choice material selections that
compliment the landscape. To enhance/update the low profile, period academic brick and wood
exterior, proposed exterior improvements will feature a modern aesthetic, utilizing contemporary
materials.

VIII.E. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Project Implementation Plan indentifies those projects which respond to the assessments and
conclusions of the Facilities Master Plan. The listing of projects has been structured into two time
frames: Short Term / Immediate Range and Mid to Long Term range. Each of these time frames
has identified specific goals.
The Short Term / Immediate Range is planned out for the target year of AY2014 - 2015. The focus
of this timeframe is controlled maintenance projects involving upgrading life safety/accessibility
elements for all campus buildings and overall site, specifically fire rating of corridors and fire alarm
notification.
Several of the following projects have been addressed by the College during the course of the
Master Plan development and are in project implementation stage or completed:
• Water vault and lagoon aeration repairs
• New Cosmetology Lab
• Improvements to broadband width outside of the immediate service region
• Enhance building security
The Mid to Long Term Range As the SCCC West Site establishes its identity in Cortez/Mancos and the Five Counties Region, its
ability to maintain programs which cater to its service area and beyond are key to its success. The
site’s location in a remote area noted primarily for the internationally renowned and culturally rich
Mesa Verde National Park and other outdoor recreational activities (camping, game hunting, fishing,
hiking, mountain biking), make it a strong asset, a destination site. Campus administrators from the
Pueblo Campus and the SCCC West Site envision providing certain amenities to accomplish this:
Food Services/Dormitories: The history of the original San Juan Basin Vo-Tech building once
included plans to have on-site dormitory facilities to accommodate students coming from a long
distance to the remote campus site. The SCCC West Site could draw from the potential pool of out-
of-state students as well as students that are coming from far locales in state, giving these students
on-site housing for the duration of their studies as opposed to daily long distance commute driving.
See Volume I, Appendix H.1, “Residence Life Program Concept Paper” for PCC’s in-depth study on
student housing.
Additionally, the direction to consolidate SCCC resources will require studies of transportation
dynamics between the three SCCC campus sites and associated parking to support revised
operations.
The following narrative is being included as a discussion on LEED project development for any
future planned project pursuing certification. As SCCC West anticipates any construction work, the
Campus must consider, among other issues, energy consumption reduction, construction
methodologies, and managing building waste. Refer to Volume I, Section IV.E. for complete text.
Costs Associated with LEED Projects Per the Governor’s Executive Order D 005 05 “Greening of State Government”*, Executive Directors
of all state agencies and departments are directed to manage future new building construction and
renovation projects within the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system
when feasible. The intent of this directive is for all future projects to pursue an official LEED
Certification whenever it is “applicable and practicable” and is “deemed cost-effective”. In order for
the LEED Certification process to be considered cost-effective as part of a college construction
project, it is most helpful for the institution to be aware of and anticipate the additional explicit costs
in advance. It is also important that in budgeting these costs, that the institution is aware that the
THE PLAN – SCCC WEST SITE
Pueblo Community College Facilities Master Plan – Vol. 3 Section VIII., Page 80
Southwest Colorado Community College – East Site and West Site July 1, 2012
additional costs involved with pursuing LEED certification are typically recouped many times over
through the general savings that go along with the design of a sustainable and energy-efficient
building.

VIII.F. FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION SCHEDULE
As no major construction projects are planned under this Facilities Master Plan, this section is not
applicable.
VIII.G. CRITERIA FOR UPDATING PLAN
Southwest Colorado Community College and Pueblo Community College will undertake the task of
reviewing this document on an annual basis to stay apprised of planning guidelines and policies that
will impact planning decisions as academic needs are presented. The task group should review for
consistency with the College’s Academic, Strategic and Informational Technology Master Plans and
the CCCS Strategic Plan.
Upon approval by the State Board of Community Colleges of Occupational Education and the
Colorado Department of Higher Education, the College will prepare program plans for proposed
projects and obtain appropriate approvals. If funding is not available for the fiscal year identified, the
schedule for requests for funding will be adjusted.

IX.G. ALTERNATIVE ENROLLMENT SPACE NEEDS AND UTILIZATION STUDIES – SCCC EAST AND SCCC WEST In the course of analyzing Fall 2009 space utilization for both the SCCC East Campus and SCCC
West Campus, the consultants studied information not only from academic FTE enrollment
documented in the College’s databases, but also room use for special non-credit program offerings.
Both SCCC Campuses host class sessions for non-traditional FTE students concurrent with FTE
students with the standard academic calendar, with program scheduling matching the days/times of
FTE students. Overall campus building scheduling is therefore coordinated to account for use by
both FTE enrollment and non-FTE enrollment, particularly to accommodate the specialized activities,
furnishings and equipment associated with these diverse groups. Though accounting of non-FTE
enrollment is not covered in the Banner system, the College maintains record of non-FTE enrollment
as required by the respective programs. The Consultants obtained their enrollment numbers from
Fall of 2009, supplied by the respective Campus Deans and other program directors to ascertain a
full representation of building use by the FTE and non-FTE populations, beyond the FTE-only
enrollment figures mandated by the State’s reporting guidelines in the context of this Facilities
Master Plan. The purpose of this exercise was to document and quantify the real-life utilization of
these facilities, the competition for academic space between FTE and non-FTE, and to determine
and address the College’s reported experiences of shortfall program space in some facilities, such
as the Nursing Program at the SCCC East Campus. It is important to note that the Fall 2009 non-
FTE populations posed a less significant number at the SCCC Campuses compared to those at the
Pueblo Campus and the Fremont Campus.
To achieve this, the Consultants prepared an alternative enrollment set of utilizations. This
alternative set, designated “Set B” by the Consultants, comprised FTE enrollment by Banner + non-
FTE (High School program students) To determine a relative utilization figure for the non-FTE, the
Consultants applied a similar formula, replacing the 42/28 guideline hours with the “reported
hours/week occupied” of the course session and then added this to the actual hours beyond peak
hours of FTE-only enrollment. In doing so, the consultants, having been made aware of numerous
uses reported by the College faculty of various rooms (both classroom and laboratory types) for use
by non-credit course activities, as well as over-enrolled credit courses and credit course activities
which could not be accommodated properly in their assigned room - all undocumented by Banner -
have duly accounted for actual use of the physical space.
The following tables represent a comparison of the major space categories of the Fall 2009 Space
Needs Analysis between the CCHE Approved Set and “Set B” for both campuses.
For SCCC East, guideline Academic Support Space and Auxiliary Space categories showed the
same deficits for both sets, yet the guideline Academic Space category showed a deficit for Set B,
resulting in a higher ASF/FTE (56) for the combined Academic + Academic Support categories over
the CCHE Approved FTE-only set (52).
Section IX.G., Page 1 of 21
For SCCC West, guideline Academic Support Space and Auxiliary Space categories showed the
same surplus for both sets, yet the guideline Academic Space category showed a significantly lower
surplus for Set B, resulting in a higher ASF/FTE (155) for the combined Academic + Academic
Support categories over the CCHE Approved FTE-only (92), and a 36% difference in overall campus
master plan ASF.
Additional Conclusions: SCCC East Campus
The Set B SCCC East Space Needs Analysis for the Fall 2009 guidelines reported significantly
higher assignable square footage (ASF): combined Set B Classroom/Service and Teaching
Laboratory/Service was 23% higher compared to FTE-only. Likewise, student station occupancy
(SSO) utilizations (%) and building analysis (%) for Set B were higher on average for both
classrooms and teaching laboratories: Set B’s figures were 141% higher over FTE-only for
classrooms and 143% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories, with building analysis at 141%
higher over FTE-only for classrooms and 143% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.
Finally, utilization studies by Room Capacity showed Set B to be on average 161% higher over FTE-
only for classrooms and 72% on average higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.
Section IX.G., Page 2 of 21
Additional Conclusions: SCCC West Campus
The Set B SCCC West Space Needs Analysis for the Fall 2009 guidelines reported higher
assignable square footage (ASF): combined Set B Classroom/Service and Teaching
Laboratory/Service was 234% higher compared to FTE-only. Likewise, student station occupancy
(SSO) utilization figures for Set B were higher on average for both classrooms and teaching
laboratories: Set B’s figures were 74% higher over FTE-only for classrooms and 377% higher over
FTE-only for teaching laboratories, with building analysis at 24% higher over FTE-only for
classrooms and 294% higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories. Finally, utilization studies by
Room Capacity showed Set B to be on average 21% higher for classrooms and 294% on average
higher over FTE-only for teaching laboratories.
The space needs analysis and utilizations for the Set B alternative enrollment for SCCC East
Campus and SCCC West Campus follow within this appendix.
