PLANNING DATA
The Strategic Plan and Educational Master Plan for College of the Redwoods (CR or the District) serve as the foundation for the development of this Facilities Master Plan. Overall, the planning
data provides evidence that CR controls excess facility capacity. Utilities, maintenance, repair, custodial and other costs required to service this excess space increases operating expenditures
and effectively siphons away funds that might otherwise be used for activities aimed at improving student learning outcomes. As a result, the planning data points to a critical need for the District
to reduce leased/rented space costs and to maintain excess capacity in large contiguous vacant spaces to facilitiate leasing out this space to partners to offset these unaviodable operating costs.
Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTES) and Headcounts Forecasts
The FTES and headcounts charts below shows the District's recent student enrollment history. The forecast is primarily based on the assumption that no additional state enrollment growth
funding will be available, or only limited funds will be available on a sustained basis. The District's conservative forecast is to maintain a sustainable level of student enrollments and to consider
accepting state enrollment growth funding only in small annual increments. The CO's 2013-14 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan five-year enrollment growth forecast projects a 16% through 201718, which is higher than the District's more conservative forecast.
Enrollment History and Forecast: This chart shows the Total FTES from the District's Apportionment Attendance Reports.

Space inventory
The Controlled Space Inventory chart reports our inventory of facilities space by category. Most of the categories appear to be self-explanatory, except that AV/TV is basically distance learning,
and Other space is comprised of both instructional (physical education, performing arts, and child development) and non- instructional support space that is essential to fulfilling the educational
mission at each campus. The report includes only that space which is 100% controlled by the District, such as owned and leased facilities. As a result, certain facilities where students may
engage in learning activities, such as a local hospital, are not included in these figures. The District's 381,000 assignable square footage represents about 0.77% of the entire California
Community College system's 49,448,000 total square footage. Systemwide, there is a forecasted shortage of 18,945,000 square feet of assignable space, so the District's excess capacity is not
reflective of the system's shortage.

Facility Load Ratios
Title 5 of the California Administrative Code prescribes a set of benchmark standards for the utilization and planning of most educational facilities in public community colleges using Weekly
Student Contact Hour (WSCH) projections. The CO's 2013-14 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan notes, As defined in title 5, California Code of Regulations, WSCH means “the product of the
number of students and the scheduled class periods in which they are enrolled, in graded and ungraded community college classes convened prior to 10 o’clock pm during a census week. A
class period is not less than 50 minutes and not more than 60 minutes.” (tit. 5, CCR, §57001(e).) WSCH increase and decrease in roughly the same proportions as FTES. The facility capacity-toload ratios (the percentages) are noted in the chart below. The ratios are compared across the State to determine eligibility for state funded building space. Basically, a lower capacity-to-load
ratio equates to a greater need for additional space, according to this calculation. A 100% ratio would be considered in-balance, while a lower percentage indicates a need for additional space
and a higher percentage indicates excess space. The chart below indicates that the District has more facilities than are needed for its level of student enrollments.

Chancellor's Office Capital Outlay Projects
The CO's 2013-14 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan identifies projects across the state. The CO prioritizes projects into three major categories as shown in the chart below. Due to the level of nonstate funding required, the District will not be able to move forward with most of the projects on the CO's list.

CR Facilities Planning Committee Proposed Five Year Capital Outlay Plan Rankings
Due to the level of non-state funding required, the District will not be able to move forward with most of the projects on the list. Facilities Planning Committee (FPC) provided rankings as listed
below. The two projects prioritized by the CO as Critical Infrastructure Deficiencies were both placed as FPC ranking 1 due to health and safety concerns. Should state funding be delayed for
the Critical Infrastructure projects, then the backup plan would be to delay the projects. If immediate health and safety concerns arose during the interim, then a smaller project of scope
necesary to mitiagte the immediate health adn safety concern would be implemented.
