ADDITIONAL FACTORS CONSIDERED
• An increasing number of residents are returning to community colleges to
train for new careers as a result of job losses stemming from the Great
Recession. (Source: California Postsecondary Education Commission)
• UC and CSU are increasing fees, furloughing faculty, and limiting future
enrollments. (Source: California Postsecondary Education Commission)
• The top ten WLAC feeder schools have an average Academic
Performance Index (API) ranking of 701; the State goal for each school is
800. (Source: WLAC Office of Research & Planning; CA Department of Education)
• The College has met/exceeded funded enrollment capacity every year
since 2000.
• The inclusion of Beverly Hills and Marina del Rey in the College’s Service
Area affects demographic data—population change, educational
attainment, etc.—though the College serves 70% African American and
Latino students who do not come from these area.
• The high school graduation rate from 2008-2011 in the College’s Service
Area has increased 1.17%, compared to -0.11% District-wide. This
suggests that the number of likely students is increasing at a faster rate
than total population growth.

Space Inventory & Facility Assessment

SUMMARY OF FACILITIES ASSESSMENT
• A large number of instructional spaces are currently under-utilized
because the size, configuration, and technology capabilities do not match
the facilities requirements established through Program Review and the
Educational Master Plan:
• 28 General Lecture Rooms
• 5 General Laboratory Rooms
• 3 Specialized Laboratory Rooms
• The majority of existing under-utilized spaces may be readily remodeled
into “needed” spaces but may not be suitable for conversion to highly
specialized labs.
• Original campus buildings are substandard in a number of areas, including:
• IT/AV Capabilities
• Wear and Tear

Synergies
