In 2002, after conducting more than 20 meetings with departments and the general campus to review the existing educational programs and to project growth for the next 15 years, an Educational Master Plan was completed. Space requirements were developed based on the projected growth of educational programs.

As part of this effort, a Space Inventory Study measured the assignable square footage of every building on campus, coding each space according to the Chancellor's Office guidelines. At roughly the same time, a Level I Assessment in 2002 and a Level II Assessment in 2003 were completed to determine the condition of existing facilities. These documents became the driving force and framework behind the development of the Facilities Master Plan.

An initial draft of the Facilities Master Plan was developed in 2002. Campus input was provided through activities that included: Three campus-wide retreats including a two-day program at the Pala Mesa resort and two, one day retreats on campus. More than 250 faculty, staff, administrators, and Board members attended.

Campus Master Plan consultants met with each department to discuss its space needs at a series of planning meetings. Campus presentations including monthly campus-wide presentations, an update at the FLEX day at the beginning of each semester, special breakout workshops on FLEX day, and visits to each department.

In 2003, the College continued the development of the Facilities Master Plan with input from a wide spectrum of the campus community and various constituent groups including:

The Local Community

14 Town Hall meetings were held in order to obtain input from District residents.

Students

More than 300 students participated in discussion sessions with the Campus Master Plan Architect.

Faculty and Staff

The Campus Master Plan Architect met with each department to refine the space requirements of specific programs. A campus-wide retreat was held at the UCLA Conference Center at Lake Arrowhead. In 2004, the College held two more retreats at Lake Arrowhead, one was campus-wide and the other was for managers.

The Board of Trustees

Continued regular updates on the Campus Master Plan, including several special Board meetings that focused primarily on the building program. Campuswide updates were held after each Board meeting, starting in 2004 and continuing in 2005-06.

In 2004-05, an update of the space projections required for each academic area was completed. Consultants met individually with each department in the development of these projections.
