RENOVATION – Major Project Higher Education Project Proposal

Office of Financial Management 1

Institution Western Washington University Project Title 2019-21 Classroom & Lab Upgrades Project Location (City) Bellingham

1. Problem Statement (short description of the project – the needs and the benefits) Western Washington University’s (Western) overall classroom and lab utilization rates are at or above State utilization targets, however, there continues to be a growing disparity of utilization where a significant subset of instructional spaces operate at much higher rates of use than the rest of the inventory. The situation exists because many rooms are not technically capable to accommodate current programmatic needs, especially within the sciences, and because some, but not all rooms are able to accommodate contemporary pedagogies such as student-centered learning. The lack of adequate classroom and lab space at Western has been felt campus-wide and has made it particularly difficult for the University to respond to the significant growth in student demand for STEM and other high-demand degrees. Since the 2015-16 academic year, Western has been forced to cap all but one major within the University’s College of Sciences and Engineering in part due to insufficient classroom and lab space. Furthermore, the shortage of suitable instructional space, coupled with a surge in STEM majors over the last decade, has limited the University’s ability to offer a sufficient number of course sections to meet student demand, thus prolonging the time it takes Western students to complete their degrees. 2. Project Description The 2019-21 Classroom and Lab Upgrades is part of an on-going program that will address significant and growing inconsistencies in the quality, capacity and utilization of college and departmental learning spaces at Western. The project would renovate and/or repurpose 28 individual classrooms and labs throughout campus, at approximately 28,000 square feet, extending the useful life of these spaces by at least 25 years and enabling Western to provide learning in a contemporary setting. Increasing existing classroom and lab performance is a fundamental component of Western’s ability to respond to student course demand while still enabling students to complete their undergraduate degrees in four years. The continued enhancement of instructional spaces will assist Western’s efforts to ensure students experience a high level of technologically relevant education through the most current learning modalities while simultaneously reducing students’ time to degree – resulting in both operating cost efficiencies and savings to students and their families. 3. History of the project or facility Western has previously implemented classroom and lab upgrade projects in 2009-11, 2011-13, and 2017-19. The first two biennial programs were very successful and markedly improved the utilization of instructional space by making these rooms relevant to current methods of teaching and learning. Many of the rooms that were previously renovated saw two and threefold utilization increases. Some of the renovated labs now see utilization in excess of 30 contact hours per week per seat. The 2017-19 program is currently being implemented. The 2019-21 request will complement the 2017-19 program by addressing Western’s large backlog of classroom and labs that need utilization, technological, and safety improvements.





4. University programs addressed or encompassed by the project The proposed 2019-21 Classroom & Lab Upgrades will impact academic programs across the university. The project will increase the utilization of general use and specialized instructional space, provide broader institutional efficiencies through centralized control and monitoring of non-specialized learning areas, and expand institutional capacity by increasing the overall performance of these physical assets. Linkages to other Capital Projects: The Classroom & Lab Upgrades project is critically interlinked with the Environmental Studies Renovation (STEM II) and Consolidated Academic Support Services Facility projects, both of which Western is planning on implementing or starting in the 2019-21 biennium. These interrelationships exist in an effort to scale these project requests responsibly to the funded abilities of the State and because of the facilities-intensive nature of science instructional space; WWU does not currently have swing-lab space and our better outfitted class labs are already heavily used1. Compounding this situation is that Western is presently increasing its hiring of tenure track faculty to serve additional students without adequate office space to house them in. This on a campus with approximately 2000 FTE faculty and staff and nearly 16,000 students. The relationship of these interlinked capital projects is described in brief below:

A. The Consolidated Academic Support Services Facility will assist to resolve Western’s shortage of faculty and administrative office space by constructing a two story office building of approximately 25,000 gross square feet. The Support Services Facility would be located south of the main campus on land owned by the Institution that has already been rezoned by the City of Bellingham for this purpose. University operations that will be housed in the new building will be administrative in nature and not have a student learning or student services component. In turn, a significant amount of office space within the core of campus will become available for faculty offices and front- line student services. The Classroom & Lab Upgrades project will benefit from the Consolidated Academic Support Services Facility because the on-campus space that’s vacated from administrators could be converted into classrooms. Additionally, the Academic Support Services Facility also faculty to occupy offices that are in close proximity to classrooms and labs, some of which will be improved in this Classroom and Lab Upgrades project.

B. The pre-design of the Environmental Studies Renovation (STEM II) was completed in the spring

of 2016. The subsequent design and construction of this building component will temporarily displace the entire faculty and academic administrative offices of the departments of Geology, Environmental Sciences, Advanced Materials & Sciences Engineering and Scientific & Technical Services. The Classroom & Lab Upgrades project will provide the balance of the instructional space that is needed to ensure that student time-to-graduate is not impacted during the project’s second phase.





The graphic below illustrates the interrelationship of three of Western’s capital project requests.

5. Integral to Achieving Statewide Policy Goals: Provide degree targets, and describe how the project promotes improvement on 2015-16 degree production totals in the OFM four-year public dashboard.

a. Indicate the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded at the close of the 2015-16 academic year.

3,317 bachelor degrees were awarded at the close of the 2015-16 academic year. b. Indicate the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in high-demand fields at the close of the 2015-16 academic year.

1,137 bachelor degrees were awarded in high-demand fields at the close of the 2015-16 academic year

c. Indicate the number of advanced degrees awarded at the close of the 2015-16 academic year.

328 advanced degrees were awarded at the close of the 2015-16 academic year The Classroom & Lab Upgrades project promotes improvement on 2015-16 degree production totals in the OFM four-year public dashboard by addressing the instructional space issues that are impacting course access, time-to-degree, and the effects of a steady and persistent transition of majors into STEM disciplines from non-STEM disciplines.

6. Integral to Campus/Facilities Master Plan:

a. Western’s Institutional Master Plan (IMP) approved by the Board of Trustees in October 2001 and adopted as an amendment to the Western Washington University Neighborhood Plan by the Bellingham City Council in September 2001, will guide development of Western’s main campus until it reaches a capacity of 4,000,000 overall gross square feet of total building space. The University is currently below 3,300,000 gross square feet of total building space.

b. The Institutional Master Plan1 begins with the Institution’s heart and mission to development of the

academic core. Established as Western’s highest intensity use, this area is a conceptual 10-minute walk-zone situated deep within the campus. It is strongly pedestrian focused; imbued with a sense of sanctuary; and protected from off-campus influences. While the IMP will increase the overall existing built density, the academic core absorbs much of that planned growth by in-fill and modernization to accommodate all of the Western’s main campus academic and student service needs. It does this while retaining the desirable characteristics that define Western as it is today, including the continuity of pedestrian flow, the strong connections of the built and natural environment, the sense of a “community of learners,” the visual portals to the mountains, water, and adjacent neighborhoods, and the breakdown of scale. As described above, the Classroom & Lab Upgrades project will be located within the academic core of campus to best utilize space and directly serve students. The proposed classrooms & labs are located in facilities in IMP Districts 7, 9, 11, and 14 with land use classifications of Academic, Administrative/Support, Student Activities, and Open Space. See Appendix B.

7. Integral to institution’s Academic Programs Plan: Describe the proposed project’s relationship and relative importance to the institution’s most recent Academic Programs Plan. Must the project be initiated soon in order to:

a. Meet academic certification requirements? There are no specific certification requirements relating to this project however, there are lab safety concerns that would be addressed with this project. Of specific concern is the extent to which chemistry labs are operating at levels exceeding that of our most heavily used lecture halls and the safety risk that goes with the potential of over-use of specialized lab space especially where hazardous materials and volatile compounds are present.

b. Permit enrollment growth and/or specific quality improvements in current programs?

The project enables the Institution to grow enrollment in high demand and STEM disciplines and assists us to resume growth in disciplines that have been capped, usually for a combination of instructional space and faculty resource. Consider the instances listed below: Every academic year since 2015-16, the Computer Science department had to turn away

highly qualified transfer students because of a lack of both instructional staff and physical space. This project will increase the amount of instructional space in the department by repurposing a general use classroom and upgrading two older teaching labs. This coupled with new faculty hires in the department (fall 2017) will allow the department to meet growing student demand, increase degree production, and serve workforce needs.

Every academic year since 2015-16, entry into the Chemistry major has been capped for a lack of space and faculty. This project will renovate two teaching labs to allow for their higher utilization.

Every academic year since 2014-15, entry into Kinesiology and Pre-Med majors have been capped for a lack of human anatomy lab space within Biology, which is the principal means to

1 The Western Washington University Institutional Master Plan provides for capacity of growth but leaves project

sequencing to the academic plan.





intake into pre-med & kinesiology majors. This project will create new lab space to allow growth in these majors and increase degree production. The 2017-19 Classroom and Lab project will create some of this space, but the 2019-21 is needed to help meet the overall demand.

c. Permit initiation of new programs?

This is a vital development to support Western’s Electrical Engineering program and Western’s new programs in Marine Sciences and Energy Studies.

8. Age of Building Since Last Major Remodel: This project will upgrade and modernize up to 28 rooms (combination of classrooms and labs) in 8 buildings associated with this project totaling approximately 28,000 square feet overall. The weighted average building age for these rooms is 40.5 years. See Appendix C for more details. 9. Condition of Building: Classrooms and Labs proposed for upgrade are in various buildings throughout Western’s campus. The average 2016 OFM Comparable Building Condition score base on the parent buildings is 2.5 – between adequate and fair. The specific deficiencies corrected in each teaching space includes but is not limited to upgrading inadequate lighting, improving HVAC delivery, replacing worn finishes, and correcting acoustical problems. See Appendix C. The project addresses interior classrooms and labs which are not individually listed in the Washington Heritage Register. 10. Significant Health, Safety, and Code Issues: Health & Life Safety: The classrooms and labs in this proposal have a weighted average age of 40.5 years. The proposed renovation will include replacement finishes with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and low greenhouse gas (GHG) impact materials. Worn carpets will be replaced which will eliminate existing trip hazards from wrinkles and ripped seams. Asbestos containing flooring and insulation materials will be removed wherever practical or be encapsulated if not cost effective to remove. The acoustic environment will be improved with noise absorptive panels to improve audibility. Mechanical source noise will be mitigated to eliminate distracting vibrations. Seismic: Suspended ceiling systems where replaced, will include seismic bracing per current International Building Code (IBC). Lighting fixtures and other room equipment will be upgraded with secondary restraints and lateral bracing per current code. ADA: Classrooms where fixed seating or tables are replaced will have ADA compliant stations installed per IBC chapter 11. All classroom teaching technology upgrades include assisted listening devices for the hearing impaired. Energy Code: The lighting upgrades included in the project will bring each classroom in compliance with the Washington State Energy Code. These include: low watts per square feet overall energy budget; occupancy sensors to turn lights off automatically when unoccupied; daylight zone automatic dimming; task lighting on writing surfaces to concentrate lumens where needed most; and multifactor computers and monitors. All reductions in electrical consumption translate to reduced mechanical cooling requirements. 11. Reasonableness of Cost:





As shown below the Classroom & Lab Upgrade Project is below the expected cost range: 2008 Expected Project Cost Range

• $297/GSF x 1.329 (escalation to 2020) = $395/GSF construction cost for classrooms. • $309/GSF x 1.329 (escalation to 2020) = $411/GSF construction cost for labs. • $429/GSF x 1.329 (escalation to 2020) = $570/GSF total project cost with averaging labs and

classrooms. 2019-21 Classrooms & Labs Upgrade Project Estimated Costs

• $3,542,072/28,000 SF = $127/SF estimated construction cost (32% of expected cost when averaging classroom and labs)

• $6,000,000/28,000 SF = $214/SF total project cost (38% of expected cost) 12. Availability of Space/Utilization on Campus: Utilization of classrooms and class-labs remains high at Western (see Appendix D). Of concern is the extent to which class lab utilization, particularly in STEM disciplines, are very high. To better illustrate the situation, of the 126 class labs at Western in the Fall of 2017, twenty-seven class labs operated at greater than 16 Student Credit Hours (SCH) per week per seat; fifteen class labs operated at greater than 20 SCH per week per seat; six class-labs operated at greater than 30 SCH per week per seat and two (Chemistry) labs operated in excess of 40 SCH per week per seat with the highest utilization for a class-lab being 47 SCH. The situation presents access and safety issues and drives our request to expand the availability of STEM instructional space by repurposing low performing instructional space. In the fall of 2017, the classrooms and labs that will be impacted by this project had an average utilization of only 9 contact hours per week per seat. The selection of classrooms and labs in this proposal was determined on the basis of the following criteria:

a. Measurable outcomes – the upgrades will increase the capacity and room usage and this can be supported with usage data.

b. Banner Data – The structured, academic use of the renovated room must be recorded in Banner (Western’s financial management system).

c. Performance Thresholds – the renovated rooms will operate at minimum levels of usage per academic year as applied to the room categories:

i. General Use Classrooms – 22 contact hours per week per seat. ii. Labs (includes General Use Labs) – 16 contact hours per week per seat.

The goal of the project is to ensure that the Institution has adequate access to high performance learning space; this requires that we maintain and upgrade our high performing learning spaces and evaluate and repurpose our low and non-performing learning spaces. Renovated or newly constructed space that cannot be utilized at a minimum level of performance will be reassigned to best serve the evolving needs of the institution. This performance criteria will be applied to all learning space constructed or renovated on campus. An ongoing process of evaluation should result in more transitioning of space between the Colleges and Space Administration. This process has enabled the Institution to more accurately direct capital investments and to respond more quickly to evolving curriculum and pedagogy in order to best serve students.





13. Efficiency of Space Allocation: The project is consistent with the Facility Evaluation and Planning Guide (FEPG) guidelines, which Western uses exclusively.
