STRATEGIC VISION

Florida Atlantic will pursue, with unbridled ambition, the intention of becoming the country’s fastest-improving public research university.

We will recruit and retain the highest talent in faculty, staff and students.

Our programs will develop in focal areas, known as Pillars and Platforms.

We will concentrate on very strategic capital facilities projects.

The organizational efficiency of the university will be greatly enhanced.

Most importantly we will “budget to the plan” not “plan to the budget.”

ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

2017 SPACE ASSESSMENT STUDY* SIX STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS •

Clarify roles and identity of each campus

•

Align budget model with space-use practices to provide incentives

•

Define transparent process for prioritizing capital investment

•

Redefine membership, charge, and processes of space committee

•

Consider data management practices. Focus on data sets that provide highest value for decision making: office occupancies, employee location, station counts, space assignments, activities, study and collaborative spaces outside the library

•

Adopt a prototype strategy, experimenting with space types, providing models for demonstration

NEXT STEPS

•

Establish a flexible framework for future decision making with Master Plan

•

Clarify role of each campus

•

Aligning budget with space-use

•

Reorganizing and empowering space committee

•

Improving data collection and management

•

Implement prototyping for small-scale space interventions *Completed by Dumont Janks

2017 SPACE ASSESSMENT STUDY* SPACE TYPE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS •

Classrooms: centrally schedule when possible; establish target guideline

minimum of 40 hours of use per week •

Specialized instructional spaces (teaching labs): monitor use and target

minimum of 20 scheduled hours of use per week •

Technology access: support general student population and departmental needs with the goal of maximizing opportunities for shared facilities

•

Research space: actively manage with clear guidelines established for expected levels of sponsored research activity on a per square foot basis

•

Office space: largest space category; better understand which employees require private offices and which would benefit from an open office

•

Student collaboration, study, and lounge spaces: increase number and develop a philosophy for student life space that best suits the university

*Completed by Dumont Janks

2017 HOUSING DEMAND ASSESSMENT* OBJECTIVES • Support anticipated enrollment growth through enhanced on-campus offerings •

Provide additional housing options in a fiscally responsible manner

•

Deliver a progressive housing model with age-appropriate unit-type options

•

Efficiently utilize limited land resources in alignment with the Campus Master Plan

•

Enrich the campus culture and community experience

ASSUMPTIONS • Unmet housing demand exists on both the Boca Raton and Jupiter Campuses

•

Demolition of Algonquin Hall and University Village Apartments will provide key sites for higher density housing on the Boca Raton campus

•

Two 150-bed Honors College Residence Halls are needed on the Jupiter Campus

•

The intent is to enter into an operating agreement to deliver facilitiesrelated services *Completed by Brailsford & Dunlavey

BOCA RATON CAMPUS OBSERVATIONS + ANALYSIS

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1942-1945

Boca Raton Army Air Field opened in October 1942 as the Air Corps’ only World War II radar training school.

By 1945 16,281 troops were enrolled in radar and electronic courses at the base.

1947

On September 17, 1947 a severe hurricane hit southeast Florida.

The storm caused extensive damage to base structures and widespread flooding. The base was subsequently abandoned.

In 1955, the Florida legislature authorizes a new state university for the southeastern section of the state. No funding is provided.

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1955

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1961

The 1961 “Brumbaugh Report”

called for “an innovative institution that could serve as a model for new universities of the late 20th century.”

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1962

Kenneth R. Williams is named first university president. Campus construction begins.

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1964

PRINCIPLES

PROGRAM

October 25th dedication ceremony with President Lyndon Johnson who called for a “new revolution in education” to expand access to higher education for all who qualified.

PLACE

The original program was to utilize “media aids and electronic technology” so that faculty could devote more time to individual contact with students and research.

1966

BOCA RATON CAMPUS HISTORY

1973

The Williams years saw a lot of growth of the physical campus with the addition of a Humanities Building, six residence halls, a student cafeteria, and a new administration building.

Assumptions: •

0% interest loan

•

100% of energy generated replaces energy ordinarily consumed (100% offset), local grid-tie

•

*All listed estimates are conservative (irradiation rates, MW cost, etc.)

•

*FIU/ FPL - leased space. All PV energy goes back into FPL grid.

SOLAR ENERGY CLIMATE

Other Arrays/ Info While the FIU/ FPL array averaged $2.50 per watt to build (post ITC), there have

been several instances of more traditional 1MW arrays (field, rooftop, etc.) starting at $1.50 per watt. Given the current trade climate and the resulting tariffs, one could expect to pay between $2 and $3 a watt, with a payback ranging from 9 to 14 years in the US. PV Panel efficiency is increasing, and domestic (Suniva) panel output is pushing 340 watts now (average panel output for the FIU/ FPL array is just over 310 watts per panel). This will impact array footprint and power output. There are also alternatives like bi-facial panels, but

they are still cost prohibitive, for now.
