MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010

Since its founding in 1965,
College of DuPage
has provided a ‘ Value of a Lifetime’ to the surrounding region, serving as a world-class center for teaching, learning and cultural experiences that are accessible and affordable. More than four decades later, the College remains at the forefront of higher education and cultural opportunity, serving more than 30,000 students per semester. Many thousands more from surrounding communities enjoy our
McAninch Arts Center, the COD Library and our athletic facilities.
Based on public feedback and our own assessments, our central focus over the next seven years will be:
•
•
Renovation focused on original, aging COD facilities and infrastructure, including the Student Resource Center (SRC), which houses the COD Library, the
Seaton Computing Center (SCC), the McAninch Arts Center (MAC) and the Physical
Education Center (PE).
Revitalization related to upgrading technology and security infrastructure to meet today’s energy effi ciency standards. Also included are new facilities such as parking and accessibility, the need for conference centers to serve the community, the maintenance of recently constructed facilities, and continued growth of the
Homeland Security Education Center.
College of DuPage strives to exceed all expectations by preparing individuals for tomorrow’s careers on a campus that offers an attractive, state-of-the-art learning environment. This is sustainable only through embracing the need for renovation and revitalization to meet a changing job sector. Recently, COD once again adapted to changing needs when it began construction of the Homeland Security Education Center (HEC) and the Culinary
& Hospitality Center (CHC). Both facilities will establish College of DuPage as national leaders in these growing fi elds. We have also recently completed the Health and Science
Center (HSC), the Technical Education Center (TEC), and a Stadium Complex consisting of a renovated football fi eld and running track.
The total cost of the current College of DuPage Master Plan is approximately $415 million. Of this amount, nearly 50% is designated for the Phase II and Phase III construction of the Homeland Security Training Institute. College of DuPage is currently asking our community to assist funding a portion of this cost equal to approximately $168 million.
Moving forward, College of DuPage will continue to listen closely, plan carefully and manage responsibly.
Thank you for your continued support.
While constructing new facilities, we must continue to care for what we have by renovating and revitalizing the infrastructure of existing facilities. As good stewards of taxpayer money, College of DuPage has made it a primary goal to properly maintain original facilities through careful maintenance. However, some facilities are approaching 30 years of age, and the ability to provide necessary annual maintenance falls short. Technology and learning environments have evolved so drastically since these facilities were built that a more comprehensive renovation and revitalization is needed.
Teams from the College’s CODiscover Listening Tour recently fanned out across
District 502, inviting the public to provide feedback on the best ways to address these challenges. The public communicated overwhelming support for infrastructure improvements such as replacing aging roofs and electrical and plumbing systems, making security and technology upgrades, improving parking facilities and vehicular access, and retrofi tting aging classrooms to accommodate the expectations of today’s sophisticated students.

BIC
1973
College of DuPage spent its fi rst two years without a campus. Its students ran between rented buildings to make their next class, inspiring the COD roadrunner mascot, the Chaparral. It was an incredible period of change, not just for the newborn College, but for the nation. The nightly news brought to people’s living rooms the fi rst lunar landing, the Vietnam War and social unrest at home. COD’s founders moved swiftly during this period, securing the 273-acre Glen Ellyn campus site in 1968. The following year, interim buildings west of Lambert Road became the College’s fi rst “home” campus. By 1973, the Instructional Center (later renamed the Berg Instructional Center) had become the fi rst permanent building on campus and enrollment had soared to 10,000 students.
Now in its fi fth decade, what began as an idea and 273 fertile acres has grown into one of the country’s great community colleges, serving more than 60,000 students a year.
As its story continues, College of DuPage continues to honor its history of progress in the face of changing times...

MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010 5

With the recently opened Stadium Complex ,
College of DuPage has one of the premier outdoor athletic complexes in the nation. The complex includes a new softball fi eld and a renovated baseball fi eld, both completed in 2005. In 2009, the football and track facilities were completely renovated, with additional amenities including new lighting, bleachers and a press box. College of DuPage recently completed the relocation of three new soccer fi elds located south of
College Road.
The new Technical Education Center (TEC) is located on the western portion of campus. This building contains the architecture, interior design, ornamental horticulture, automotive technology, computer-aided design, construction management, electro-mechanical technology, electronics-integrated engineering technology, HVAC, manufacturing technology, and welding technology programs. Many of these programs offer green topics and specialty certifi cates and courses, including renewable energy, energy audit, LEED preparation, sustainable landscapes, and sustainable interior design certifi cates.
Outdoor areas adjacent to the TEC include a horticulture lab, raw material storage, automotive vehicular storage and a greenhouse.
6 MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010

The Graphic Arts Labs and
Art Studios , located in the McAninch
Arts Center, were renovated to create a stimulating, state-of-the-art learning environment. The graphic arts facility is now home to an industry-standard digital press and acts as a full-service printing center. The sculpture, jewelry and ceramics labs were all redesigned to meet today’s educational studio environment requirements.
The recently opened Health and Science Center (HSC) is located directly west of the
Student Resource Center (SRC). The new facility houses a combination of laboratory, classroom, offi ce and instructional space. The facility has also created a joint location for the College’s Health
Sciences and Biological Sciences programs.
Some of the disciplines included in the HSC: Allied Health, Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Diagnostic
Medical Imaging, Health Information Technology, Radiation Therapy, Physical Therapist Assistant,
Phlebotomy, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Speech Language Pathology Assistant, Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Chemistry and Botany.
The Early Childhood Center (ECC) is located on the west side of campus, just south of the TEC. The building houses The Louise M. Beem Early Childhood
Education and Care Demonstration Center, which provides a state-certifi ed day care and Kindergarten program and complements the College’s Early Childhood Education program by providing hands-on learning for students. This facility is approximately
22,500 square feet.
The Early Childhood Center serves as an example of quality care and education for young children and their families. The classrooms are organized under a simple sky-lit roof with an undulating interior corridor “street,” which playfully widens into a fl exible indoor activity area at the center of the building. The indoor street provides a protected play area for large motor skills development during inclement weather.
MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010 7

The new 60,000 square-foot Culinary & Hospitality Center (CHC) will be located on the northeast side of campus near the McAninch Arts Center (MAC). New and expanded kitchens, bake shops, a casual dining room, a culinary market, a fi ne dining restaurant, a six-room boutique hotel, and a large meeting room will create a “living lab environment” for the Culinary Arts and
Hospitality Administration programs. Also included will be a multi-media center and amphitheater.
The facility will encourage College of DuPage guests, businesses and community members to take part in a living lab educational experience for the College’s students. Whether visiting or staying on campus, guests can take advantage of the four-star dining and hotel services offered by the
Culinary and Hospitality students, as well as other College of DuPage programs at the McAninch
Arts Center, which comprise the Western Suburbs’ fi rst “Theatre District.”
The Homeland Security Education
Center (HEC) will meet community and student demands for new programs in one of the country’s fastest-growing job sectors. It will be at the forefront of regulations and increasing requirements for Criminal
Justice, the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy
(SLEA) and Fire Science/EMS training programs.
A new 60,000 square-foot building will house these programs and provide state-of-the-art classroom and facilities, including training labs, a forensics laboratory, an indoor virtual street scene “Immersive
Training Lab” that offers the only Homeland Security education experience of its kind in the Midwest, and a fully-equipped command center designed to instruct National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocol and simulation.
8 MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010

As the main hub of much of COD’s teaching and learning, the Berg
Instructional Center (BIC), currently undergoing a 90 percent renovation, houses classrooms, labs, and faculty and departmental offi ces.
The current project includes extensive infrastructure work as well as renovations to classrooms and offi ce space. Beyond a full three-year renovation of the BIC’s
477,000 square-foot interior, new glass and an updated exterior color scheme will blend with other recently constructed buildings to create a cohesive campus.
Scheduled for completion in fall 2011, the south facade of the
Student Resource Center (SRC) is being updated to refl ect the changing faces of its neighboring facilities: the BIC and the
Health and Science Center (HSC). In addition, the new exterior will increase the much-needed energy effi ciency of the facility, provide additional thermal comfort for occupants, and upgrade the interface between the plaza from the interior to the exterior of the site.
A new 65,000 square-foot Student
Services Center (SSC) will be located at the intersection of the BIC and
SRC. Linking the two buildings, the SSC will serve as the fi rst ever “front door” for the campus. The addition will consolidate
Student Services and act as a hub for
Admissions, Registration and Financial
Aid and other student services such as Counseling and Advising, Records,
Academic Support, the Cashier’s Offi ce, and Testing Services.

Due to the age of many of College of DuPage’s buildings, comprehensive repair and renovation is necessary to keep the facilities viable for state-of-the-art instruction and cost-effective operation.
• Renovation of Student Resource Center (SRC)
• Renovation of Seaton Computing Center (SCC)
• Renovation of McAninch Arts Center (MAC)
• Renovation of Physical Education Center (PE)
• Campus-wide Infrastructure Improvements
MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010 11

Goal
Renovate outdated Student Resource Center (SRC) facilities to create a collaborative, multi-functional educational environment
Cost Estimate
$33.4 million
Scope
Renovation of approximately 198,500 square feet of the total 376,500 gross square feet
Summary
A complete renovation of the Student Resource Center is necessary for this facility to remain as the functional intersection of the campus, serving students, faculty and community members in meeting academic goals, as well as providing practical resource support and important social connection needs.
Originally built in 1983 and expanded in 1996, the SRC houses the College’s central administrative offi ces, Library, student bookstore, Academic Computing Center and cafeteria. With evolving instructional demands and community expectations, the SRC is now in need of substantial upgrades.
Reconfi guration of interior academic and Library areas are needed to better align teaching and resource spaces with fl exible, technology-enriched learning environments.
Spaces being vacated for new facilities, such as Culinary Arts and Student Services, must be repurposed to meet expectations for new academic and student support functions.
12 MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010

Goal
Renovate the Seaton Computing Center (SCC) to create an education facility that will support cutting-edge, experimental and highly-specialized computer applications
Cost Estimate
$3.7 million
Scope
18,500 gross square feet
Summary
The Seaton Computing Center must be fully updated to be in-line with the educationfocused upgrades occurring in the adjacent facilities. SCC upgrades will integrate the building’s interior with its neighboring buildings, while its exterior is made attractive and inviting for current and new College of DuPage students. In order for the facility to serve as a ‘state-of-the-art’ instructional center, it will need a complete interior overhaul.
Additionally, this renovation will repair vital infrastructure including an ineffi cient, rusting
HVAC system, and a leaking roof.
Constructed in 1990, the antiquated SCC houses computer dependent courses offering specialized software specifi c to Offi ce Technology, Computer Information Services, and
Computer and Internetworking Technology. Though minor appearance upgrades have been applied during the facility’s 20-year life, the SCC no longer serves today’s teaching or learning styles, which require spaces that support collaboration, fl exibility, and innovation, currently standard in today’s corporate climate.
MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010 13

MAC
Goal
Update the arts instruction environment and events capability of the
McAninch Arts Center (MAC) to meet current performance and curriculum standards
Summary
Constructed in 1986, the McAninch Arts Center has served students and the community by providing a variety of excellent performance venues and arts education. After nearly
25 years of service, the facility is in great need of updating.
Cost Estimate
$22.9 million
Traditional studio / classrooms need to be transformed into collaborative teaching environments that encourage learning beyond traditional lecture-based instruction.
Specialty arts educational spaces such as photography, dance and forensics need updating to keep programs current with recognized standards for modern instruction.
All teaching spaces are to be technology-enriched, multimedia environments that permit both student and instructor participation in the worldwide “conversation on the arts.”
Scope
Renovation of approximately 119,000 square feet of the total 160,000 gross square feet
14 MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010
In addition to instructional space improvement, College of DuPage must update its major
MAC performance spaces, such as the Main Stage, Theater Two and Studio Theater.
These upgrades will aid in attracting a wide variety of entertainment for the enjoyment of students and the community. Basic improvements to acoustics, lighting, comfort and safety must be addressed to maintain College of DuPage’s leadership in quality music, drama and dance performances.

Goal
Renovate the outdated Physical Education Center (PE) to create a multi-use educational and recreational environment to serve the future needs of students and the community
Cost Estimate
$18.9 million
Scope
Renovation of approximately 83,000 square feet of the total 130,000 gross square feet
Summary
While adequately maintained, the Physical Education Center has remained virtually unchanged since its construction in 1983. In addition to its outdated interior fi nishes and activity rooms, entry confusion continues to be a major concern. Most users of the building enter at its lowest level on the south side through a tunnel-like path, adjacent to the fi tness lab. For greater accessibility and safety, a more visible entry and convenient drop-off site is needed.
Due to increased popularity and overcrowding, the current Fitness Lab has outgrown its existing space. Re-purposing the under-utilized racquetball courts will allow for a
Fitness Lab and Weight Room expansion. Additional upgrades will include an overhaul of facility washrooms and locker rooms. Within the gymnasium, the aged running track and scoreboards are in need of replacement. Additional upgrades will include increased security control points for larger events, and washroom / storage facilities for remote playing fi elds.

of original COD buildings (SRC, SCC, MAC and PE) are in many cases original construction. Although maintained and patched as needed over the years, these roofs have reached the end of their usable lifespan and must be replaced. Likewise, many of the skylights on campus (SRC, MAC and PE) are original and are now faulty and leaking.
systems are outdated and in need of repair. The proposed upgrades will provide more effi cient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems.
16 MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW :: AUGUST 26, 2010

upgrades and new effi cient lighting fi xtures will increase the system lifespan as well as reduce energy costs.
To ensure campus
, the College plans to install centralized locking and alarm systems for operation and monitoring from a central command center. Additionally, security cameras are needed in many of the older buildings on campus.
As technologies develop, COD must make signifi cant upgrades to the
networks of aging buildings.
Wireless access is crucial to the educational requirements of the institution. The current wireless network needs to be upgraded to provide ease of access to College resources.

Revitalization ::
Goal
Improve pedestrian circulation on campus by improving sidewalks and paths and implementing outdoor green gathering spaces
Cost Estimate
$5.2 million
Scope
Campus-wide
Summary
In addition to ongoing repairs to the College’s 270-acre Glen Ellyn campus, a need for improved pedestrian foot-paths exists. Construction of the Culinary & Hospitality Center
(CHC) on the east side of campus and the Homeland Security Education Center (HEC) on the west side of campus necessitates more direct east-to-west pedestrian paths.
Improvements will focus on creating safe and effi cient pedestrian circulation.
Additionally, College of DuPage is dedicated to implementing exterior green space for student and community use. The “Campus Green” will be a centrally located open green space, surrounded by the Berg Instructional Center (BIC), the Student Services Center
(SSC) and the McAninch Arts Center (MAC). The outdoor space will support student social gatherings as well as artwork displays.
Vehicular traffi c patterns must also be altered once construction of the CHC and HEC is complete.
