The 2005 CCbenefits study established
significant and tangible fiscal benefits accrue to state
and local economies as a result of community colleges; however,
the NCCCS historically has been criticized for not having
good plans that anticipate, identify, and link their facilities
needs to institutional mission and instructional demand.
For the first time in NCCCS history, the
General Assembly is funding “Advanced Planning” with
an appropriation of $8 million. To qualify for the available
funds, colleges are required to develop two complementary
planning documents: a Long Range Plan and a Facilities Master
Plan. These documents must meet established criteria
and will be used to develop a comprehensive NCCCS Capital
Plan Request that clearly links institutional mission to
anticipated programmatic demand and facilities needs.
All Facility Master Plans are based on
the conclusions formed in institutional Long-Range Plans
and must be consistent with existing Institutional Effectiveness
and Strategic Plans. They must address the next project
required to advance the College’s Long-Range Plan and
any issues that have a potential impact on the successful
implementation of the identified capital project.
The Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Facility Master Plan
was submitted to the NCCCS and sets forth the college’s
facility priorities in order to meet its mission and the
goals of its Strategic, Long-Range, and Institutional Effectiveness
Plans.
