2. Accreditation
Brock thanked the committee for their assistance with Standard 3B and to the members who met with the Accreditation Team when they were on campus. He reported the ‘Team’ gave 4 commendations of which one was related to the facilities component. They praised the appearance of the campus grounds, the planning process and positive comments around campus.
3. Land Acquisition Plan
Brock discussed the long term planning for facilities is directly impacted due to being land locked. A long range strategy and planning outlook was completed extending the Facilities Master Plan (FMP) after closely coordinating with the Educational Master Plan (EMP). The FMP draws from the EMP and the college’s integrated planning process. Some of the general needs and recommendations that might relate to facilities are: Public transportation between Bakersfield/Taft; more property; more programs; block scheduling and large assembly room or event space.
The six items listed on page 32 of the FMP are the spaces identified on the future campus map renderings. They are not necessarily in order of importance but a starting point. When we need the facilities and how to go about acquiring financing are issues. Brock will meet with Dena Maloney, Superintendent/President as well as AP Architects to create language for dialog in this committee.
