PLANNING ISSUES & ANALYSES E III <br />Wedding planning client meetings in corridors) <br />9. Main Music Office appears crowded. Warrants consideration for <br />expansion and / or remodeling into more efficient layout. <br />10. Report by Dr. Jack Schwarz (in anticipation of National Associa- <br />tion Schools of Music visit) raises significant criticism for crowding. <br />Both space size and quality are listed as major challenges that affect <br />quality of Music program. Also lists need for higher quality prac- <br />tice room instruments, which will add to space need. Dr. Harold <br />Best also expresses similar concerns in his report for the 2002 NASM <br />visit) <br />11. Note that Academy of Music adds to total space demand with <br />instruction provided to 309 pre -college students. (Note: 2:30 — 5:30 <br />PM period) <br />Psychology 1. Includes Psychology, Social Science, Criminal Justice, Sociology and <br />Anthropology. <br />2. Currently 3 faculty, will add 1 now, and 1 later. <br />3. No major issues. <br />4. Need Psych Lab with two-way mirror for observation. <br />5. Considering adding Child Psychology Minor, then Major. <br />6. Identity an issue; no "home' for psych major. <br />Science & Mathematics 1. 57 majors <br />2. Faculty 7 FT; add 2 FT next year; 1 FT lab tech; 5 adjunct faculty. <br />3. Currently 12 lab section, 5 gen ed sections <br />4. Biology (75 students) has one small lab 935 SF plus prep room of <br />155 SF =1,090 SR At 50-60 ASF / Sta norm, this projects to a capacity <br />of 18 stations, when actually 24 stations (verify qty.) are currently <br />filled per section; would normally project 1,200 ASF —1,440 ASF for <br />24 stations. <br />5. Chemistry (31 students) lab to be remodeled; existing space is 24'-0" <br />x 37-10" which equals 908 ASF. <br />Sections will have 24 stations. <br />Norm is 50-80 ASF / Sta, so 24 stations require 1,200 ASF — 1,920 <br />ASF. <br />6. Pre -Engineering (12 students) <br />7. Physics / Geology use 40-60 ASF / Sta <br />Floor is in poor shape. <br />8. Short of storage space. <br />9. Long term proposal for two new programs: Biochemistry and Biol- <br />ogy Education major (grades 6-12). Would need one more lab. <br />ALPHA Center 1. New need for adults increasing dramatically. <br />2. With one large Testing Room, other space issues appear to be <br />layout/ equipment or re -allocation issues. (Review in more detail <br />as an architectural programming effort.) <br />3. Consider potential for small DOSS tutoring room. <br />NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PARTNERS & SIRNY ARCHITECTS PAGE 3.10 <br />
