III <br />Space shortage in Labs is affecting quality of education. Example: <br />Chemistry Lab is typically programmed at 60-80 ASF per student <br />station. At 70 ASF/station, the chemistry lab should be roughly 1,680 <br />ASF (lab and prep). The current lab consists of 931 ASF. Either the lab <br />must be remodeled to be bigger, or additional faculty will be needed. <br />Both Biology and Physics/ Geology Labs have similar constraints.) <br />300 Offices <br />Allocation per station is significantly larger than standards <br />Quantity of offices in short supply <br />Office location is an issue as to availability for staff versus faculty <br />400 Library <br />At calculated capacity (Note: 20 year collection growth projected in <br />1991) <br />500 Special Use <br />Gymnasium <br />Including Riley Gym, larger than standards for similar size college. <br />Meets various national standards even if Riley Gym converted to <br />classroom <br />Wide variation in standards — size more a matter of institutional <br />policy <br />600 General Use <br />Assembly <br />Larger than standards for similar size college. <br />Wide variation in standards — size more a matter of institutional <br />policy <br />Size appears necessary to meet college's needs in relation to overall <br />Mission <br />Food Service <br />Food service area calculations indicate a shortage of approximately <br />1,500 to 2,000 ASF. Kitchen, preparation and serving space are rela- <br />tively adequate, although the serving area can be tight at times. The <br />Dining Area is short approximately 1,000 to 1,500 ASF, and is evident <br />by observation of daily crowding between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. <br />Adding to the crowding problem in the Dining area is that Chapel <br />releases just prior to lunch time. Depending on College desires, poli- <br />cies and operations, scheduling of Chapel at a time not so close to the <br />lunch hour would likely relieve some crowding in the Dining area. <br />This would provide more time to spread out lunch time for diners, <br />thus reducing peak loads and the need for more space. <br />Bookstore <br />Currently, the Bookstore has 1,260 ASF, and for a college of 1,500 FTE, <br />a bookstore operation would be expected to occupy 1,800 – 2,400 ASF. <br />NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PARTNERS & SIRNY ARCHITECTS PAGE 3.20 <br />
