2010 Space Needs
Preliminary Campus Capacity Study Goals:
•Examine the impact of the 2010 Space Needs Projects on the
physical campus
•Explore developing use sectors, with logical adjacencies, etc.
•Explore alternative building options – footprint size, number
of levels vs. campus capacity / density
•Identify areas for expansion after 2010 – and potential
acquisition opportunities
2010 Space Needs
Physical Master Plan Process:
•Campus Organization and Capacity Studies
•Alternative Concepts
•Refinement of Preferred Concept
•Draft Physical Master Plan
•Campus Master Plan
2010 Space Needs
Capacity / Density Study Parameters:
•Space quantities identified in the Capacity Study are based on data from the
following sources:
•The Paulien & Associates March 2005 Space Needs Analysis report
•UNCW Facilities and Planning Data
•Athletics
•Recreation
•Auxiliary Services
•Recommended space quantity and capacity schemes do not include totals for
off-campus facilities, such as CMS, and the historic downtown and leased
properties
•The following In-Construction and/or Planned/Budgeted Projects are not
included in the study’s recommendations:
•Sports Medicine
•Hoggard Hall Addition
•Westside Hall Addition
•Student Center
•Cultural Arts Building
•School of Nursing and Health Sciences Professions Building
•CIS
•Building Gross Square Feet Determinations are based on 65% Efficiency

is developed overall landscape improvements would equal +- 19-33 acres.

Notes:
A = Baseline conditions assume removal of 378 spaces in Lot T for new nursing school and addition of 472 parking spaces around new private
housing project anticipated to open in 2006.
B = In these planning level calculations, one parking space is assumed to equal 400 feet.
C = Assumes no change in policies towards accommodating faculty/staff or student parking. Removal of any spaces beyond those assumed in
baseline conditions would need to be replaced on a 1:1 basis to maintain supply adequate to meet anticipated parking space demand in 2010.
D = Parking Space Demand (7,119) = Baseline Parking Inventory (5,846) + Net New Demand (1,273)
E = Each parking deck is assumed to accommodate 600 cars with a footprint of approximately 1.85 acres.
F = When 'Net Impact' is negative this means that land is returned for redevelopment.
G = Assuming 400 square feet per space, a parking deck for 600 spaces (limited to 3 stories in height) would measure approximately 320 x 250 feet;
assuming 90-degree parking and 4 bays per level.
A: Parking 100% Surface Parking / +- 11 Acres
B: Parking 50% Surface / 50% Structured Parking = Six 3-Level / 600-Space Decks
C: Parking 100% Structured Parking = Twelve 3-Level / 600-Space Decks
