Opportunities
The advisory team was able to organize responses
around seven opportunities for change.
• Centralized area for student support services
• Refresh and redesign across campus
• Updated computer labs to meet the needs of
current programs or students
• Improved adjacencies in administrative and
support departments
• Outdoor gathering spaces for students and
employees • Space for proposed new programs
• Options for student housing
Using these seven opportunities as a launching point,
the advisory team worked together to develop a more
details plan for moving forward.
Centralized area for student
support services
Student Union Style Space
This idea creates a space within the existing building
similar to a student union on a larger campus. By
gathering student support services into the front of
the campus, we can create a close proximity cluster
of services students use on a weekly, monthly or
semester basis. By grouping services together that
students use frequently (1-2 times per week), often
(1-2 times per month), or sporadically (1-2 times
per semester), we create improved adjacencies in
services that will improve student success outcomes.
Existing space constraints and privacy issues were
also taken into account when creating the below
proposed zones.
