and adding hours. Larry suggested we start by looking at the FTE's by academic disciplines. What facilities do we need right away? Doug Schroeder asked Larry to share how he would work with the group, and what he would expect of us to bring back to the group. Larry will meet with each committee member individually to discuss space needs. Larry will challenge us to explain why we need or do not need the space and why we project what we do for the area in discussion, keeping in mind the campus as a whole. Support functions will then be looked at. Larry will put together a plan for discussion. The Committee will then meet to discuss the plan priorities. Doug Schroeder asked the Committee for comments and reactions. A question regarding the capital campaign and time frame was raised. It was Mr. Schroeder's belief that Dr. Cureton would like to see the kick-off in 2004 and work it in parallel with the LRSP. Is there an interim plan if the College keeps growing at this pace and our CMP is not in place? Doug Schroeder addressed that some short-term options have been considered including renting space off campus or the use of temporary classroom units. However, student -dining space will become an increasingly difficult problem to overcome in the short run. The question arose again as to whether 2400 would fit on this campus. Yes, with qualifications. The campus now can only hold 1600; we are past capacity now and need to do something. There was a concern mentioned of trying to work on a moving target. Are we ever going to arrive at the place where we have met the building need? Doug Schroeder commented that a new leader is usually brought in to help grow the organization not to maintain it. It is the responsibility of the President to work with the Trustees to establish the overall and long-term growth goals for the organization. Larry Page mentioned that the Committee would need to test any changes against the mission of the College. Does the city of Roseville and Arden Hills know where we are headed? Yes, Doug Schroeder and Larry Page have met with city officials and will have further meetings. Comment was made regarding how educating is changing; that in 10 years we may not educate like we do now. There may be more online classes and technology will continue to bring about significant changes in the education process. Larry Page mentioned to look at student profile. A question was raised regarding a graduate school and what total number of students would we be looking at including Alternative Education NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PARTNERS & SIRNY ARCHITECTS APP C.21
