PLANNING ISSUES & ANALYSES III <br />timely to plan and more expensive), etc. How to budget? <br />8. Concern over equipment purchase expense and quality between <br />Theatre Department versus Maranatha; coordinate equipment pur- <br />chases. <br />Communication 1. Population: <br />130 students <br />10 FT faculty <br />3+ adjunct faculty <br />2. Critical needs: <br />a. WVOE has no instructional lab for teaching radio lab; space <br />used is substandard and undersized; consideration for re -use of <br />current Radio Station space since technology, sound -proofing is <br />in place. (Note: Former KTIS subsequently converted to aca- <br />demic offices.) <br />b. Need Lab/ demo classroom with technology. <br />c. Need lab / resources for Comm Tech/ Web Design; combine with <br />Journalism, Web, Dig Video, etc.; workshops for Column, Scroll, <br />web, etc. <br />Child Development 1. <br />Space is way too small for function as child care center and instruc- <br />tional lab space. <br />2. <br />State guidelines prescript SF per child, but do not make allowances <br />for use as Lab setting for Child Development educational program <br />(student teachers) at same time. Note that the 35 SF requirement is <br />extremely tight to begin with, let alone adding student teachers and <br />faculty. <br />3 <br />Currently, 6 students enrolled in program, with 21 students expected <br />next year. They need space to prepare activities, meet/converse <br />with faculty, have faculty observe students in action, store personal <br />effects, etc. <br />4. <br />Requests made by Program include the following: Conference space <br />(students, staff, parents), small group space (children/ grandfriend), <br />teacher planning space, Intergenerational Coordinator's Office and <br />Director's Office. <br />5. <br />Current space consists of 1,252 ASF for child care spaces and 297 <br />ASF for offices. State Department of Health requires 35 SF per <br />child (not including office space, miscellaneous spaces, cabinets, <br />tables, etc.). The center is licensed for 38 students (12 toddlers and <br />26 pre-school). (Overload of 42 children requires use of Center's <br />Parlor for which there is no formal arrangement according to center <br />staff.) (NOTE: Calculations indicate that current space does not <br />meet Board of Health rules: 35 SF x 38 students = 1,330 SF. Only <br />1,252 SF available per NWC space inventory. Need to verify.) <br />6. <br />Currently, lack of Office space compromises operation. Main Office <br />which is designed for 2 people is used by 4-5 people. Also, seven <br />teachers using equivalent of a "wide window sill" in narrow aisle <br />storage area as office space. <br />NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PARTNERS & SIRNY ARCHITECTS PAGE 3.7 <br />
