SUMMARY OF PHYSICAL CAPACITY COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The objective and charge of the Physical Capacity Committee is to
identify additional spaces (general purpose classrooms) on campus to
accommodate the projected additional 726.40 - 1,000 FTEs planned for
academic growth. The Committee is to assess and find creative solutions
to limited classroom space, alternate locations and evaluate class
utilization and scheduling inefficiencies.

• Of the 74 General Purpose Classrooms, 32 of the classrooms have
nothing scheduled on Fridays.
• Of the remaining 42 classrooms, only 25 classrooms are scheduled and
at less than 50% utilization. Classes are scheduled mostly in the
mornings.
• Only 17 of the total 74 classrooms are fully scheduled and utilized on
Fridays. The classroom sizes ranging from 14 to 64 seats have nothing
scheduled on Fridays.
• Possible consideration is to implement the MWF module to increase
room utilization.
