Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 6 Recommendations, Campus Development 6-A-15 May, 2023 Future Development Considerations Programming will need to be developed for each capital project, justifying the project and describing the detailed specifications for each program, as well as budgeting for the costs and time necessary to produce the Parts I and II required for projects receiving State funding. Surge Space. There is none. Scheduling spaces for courses is a major challenge for the College because of the very limited availability of classrooms and labs. So, the resultant effect for construction projects is that while new projects are undertaken, little-to-no existing space will be available while the construction is underway. Space and Facilities for Dual Enrollment and Early College. These programs have brought hundreds of high school students to the campus and have effectively expanded FCC’s enrollment. The needs of these students are unique to their age cohort, and they are often left on campus without a place to call home base. This is an immediate need which the College should address as learning spaces are allocated during course scheduling. Another, albeit not immediate, possibility is as the first capital project is developed, this need could be addressed during the program phase, perhaps finding a space for the students in an existing space which will be effectively relocated to the new building.
