Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 4 Needs Assessment 4-48 May 12, 2023 Current and Projected Bound Volume Equivalents (BVE) Parking The focus of this Facilities Master Plan does not include a parking utilization study. Therefore, calculated existing and projected demand for parking and its impact appear later in this chapter as suggested allowances under Maryland’s Space Allocation Guidelines for Community Colleges. Space Guidelines Application and Analysis Computation of quantitative need for space is based primarily on the projected program of instruction and the number of weekly student contact hours (WSCH) that it generates. Determinations of current and projected space deficits and/or surpluses are driven by current space inventory and anticipated changes, current enrollment and projected enrollments, and current and anticipated staffing levels. The consultant team used the space guidelines model developed by the State of Maryland and published under Title 13B of the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR). These guidelines, Space Allocation Guidelines for Community Colleges, provide an initial quantitative assessment of campus-wide facility needs (eligibility) for State-funded building and parking space. By applying information about the type of space required to teach the various courses to the current and projected enrollments previously presented, it is possible to determine the approximate amount of space that is allowed using guidelines. Application of the same enrollment-driven data to the Guidelines parking algorithm results in an approximate number of parking spaces allowed. Then by applying space inventory data, it is possible to determine the current and projected space deficits and/or surpluses. Assumptions made for the application of formulae-driven space computations for fall 2030, are shown in the following table and are applied to existing and projected campus space inventories.
