Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 4 Needs Assessment 4-49 May 12, 2023 Building Space With respect to current and projected space deficits and surpluses as the result of the Guidelines application, review of the individual data elements reveals the following: Academic Space: This group includes the types of spaces most typically used for scheduled and nonscheduled instructional activities. Academic Space Classroom (110): A room or space used primarily for instruction classes and that is not tied to a specific subject or discipline by equipment in the room or the configuration of the space. This category includes general purpose classrooms, lecture halls, seminar rooms, and support rooms that directly service classroom activity. Guideline allowance assumes 20 hours per week target room utilization; 60% seat occupancy rate; and 18 NASF per student station. Given the current inventory of classroom space, guideline application suggests a current surplus of 20,734 NASF and a surplus of 10,624 NASF by 2030. This anticipated reduced space surplus is attributed primarily to a projected 26% increase in enrollment with virtually no change in available classroom space. The College currently owns 157% of the space allowance in this category. The data suggests that by 2030, the College will own 123% of its computed space allowance. Class Laboratory/Open Laboratory (210/220): A class laboratory or teaching laboratory (210) is space used primarily for formally or regularly scheduled instruction (including associated mandatory, but noncredit-earning laboratories) that requires special purpose equipment or a specific space configuration for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice in an academic discipline. Included in this category are spaces generally called teaching laboratories, instructional shops, art studios, computer laboratories, drafting rooms, band rooms and similar specially designed or equipped rooms, and support rooms that directly service class laboratory activity. An open laboratory (220) is used primarily for individual or group instruction that is informally scheduled, unscheduled, or open. An open laboratory is designed for or furnished with equipment that serves the needs of a particular discipline or discipline group for individual or group instruction. Included in this category are spaces generally called music practice rooms, language laboratories used for individualized instruction, studios for individualized instruction, special laboratories or learning laboratories if discipline restricted, individual laboratories, and computer laboratories involving specialized restrictive software or where access is limited to specific categories of students.
