Assumptions of the Facilities and Campus Framework Plan

The following are the major assumptions of the Facilities and Campus Framework Plan:

1. The time frame for the master plan will be fifteen years. A detailed capital improvements plan will be provided for the first five-year period.
2. The facilities and master plan should make provisions for an increase in the size of the university enrollment that will be distributed as follows:
   
   

   	2002-03	2007-08	2012-13
   Undergraduate Residential	2,700	3,000	3,500
   Graduate	1,000	1,500	1,500

   (The enrollment assumptions provided by the SPU Enrollment Planning Committee are subject to revision.)
   
   
3. The scheduling of undergraduate classes and labs will be revised to make more efficient use of classrooms and laboratories during the early morning and late afternoon hours.
4. Substandard classroom space will be improved or excluded from the general classroom inventory.
5. The University will provide housing to meet the student demand and to support the approved Board of Trustees residential housing policy.
6. The University will continue to offer undergraduate courses primarily during the daytime hours, while graduate and non-degree courses will continue to be offered primarily during the evening hours. Degree completion programs may be added which could be offered in the late afternoon and evening hours.
7. Advances in information technology will make it possible to accommodate some enrollment increases through programs that make limited use of on-campus facilities.
8. University faculty and staff increases will accompany enrollment increases, but not necessarily in direct proportion to the growth in enrollment.
9. Some administrative support functions and staff may be located off-campus through the use of leased facilities and telecommuting.
10. The facilities and campus master plan will consider the implications of off-campus programs and decentralization opportunities, but will focus primarily on those programs and physical components located on or near the Queen Anne campus.
