7.0 Physical Education and Recreation Space Analysis

This category includes spaces that are coded in the 520’s used by the general student population for recreation and health and physical education programs that are not dedicated to intercollegiate athletic programs. The consultants used the CEFPI guidelines to generate physical education and recreation space. The CEFPI formula for physical education and recreation space uses a core of 20,000 ASF for the first 1,000 headcount students. An additional five (5) ASF per headcount is added to the base 20,000 ASF for the students over the first 1,000. If the headcount enrollment is over 2,000 then the Student FTE is substituted for the student headcount. Student FTE was used for this analysis. The analysis at the base year shows a deficit of 96,200 ASF over existing physical education and recreation space. For the target scenario, the deficit increases to 115,000 ASF.

8.0 Other Academic Space Analysis

The space classified as other academic space includes all other space assigned to an academic unit that has not been included in the other classification of classrooms, teaching laboratories, open laboratories, research laboratories, or offices. This space category consists of a variety of space types. Due to the diversity of these spaces and the different ways various campuses might classify these spaces, these spaces are not specifically addressed by the CEFPI Guidelines. In recent benchmarking studies the consultants conducted, this space category tends to exhibit a wide range of between one (1) and eighteen (18) ASF per Student FTE. The types of space included in this space category at the University include:

§ departmental study/reading rooms (400’s) like spaces assigned to TRAC, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Burress Institute, Business, English, and Health, Physical Education and Sport Science

§ exercise rooms (520’s) and locker rooms (690’s) – does not include spaces related to physical education but does include spaces such as the Employee Fitness Center which is under the Wellstar College

§ media production space (530’s) like spaces assigned to Presentation Technology, Theatre and Sociology, Geography and Anthropology,

§ clinic spaces (540’s) like spaces assigned to Nursing

§ demonstration rooms (550’s) like spaces assigned to Business and the Center for Health Promotion and Wellness

§ animal quarters (570’s)

§ greenhouses (580’s)

§ vending areas (630’s) for faculty and staff

§ lounges (650’s) for faculty and staff and select student groups

§ meeting rooms (680’s) likes spaces assigned to the Center for Professional Selling,

§ uncoded spaces such as those assigned to the Elections Systems Center and the Office of International Services and Programs (both located in houses on Frey Lake Road) Other academic space at the University averaged a little over three (3) ASF per Student FTE. The consultants believe that a reasonable guideline to apply in this category is seven (7) ASF per Student FTE. This factor reflects the needs of all academic units for additional spaces of this nature across the campus and is within the benchmark range of space at other universities. At the base year, guideline application shows a space deficit of 67,700 ASF in the other academic space category. For the target plan, this deficit increases to approximately 107,300 ASF.

9.0 Assembly & Exhibit Space Analysis

Assembly and exhibit space is defined as any room designed and equipped for the assembly of large numbers of people (610’s). This includes theaters, auditoriums, concert halls, arenas, and chapels. Exhibit spaces (620’s) are used for exhibition of materials, works of art, or artifacts and specimens intended for use by students and the campus community. One of the key qualifications for this space category is that the space should be in direct support of academic programs.

The CEFPI guideline has a core allowance of 22,450 ASF for institutions with a minimum of 5,000 Student FTE and an active fine arts program. It then allows for an additional six (6) ASF per Student FTE over the 5,000 FTE minimum. CEFPI also adds 5,000 ASF for institutions with an active music program. The consultants applied all three allowances (the core allowance, six ASF per FTE over 5,000, and the 5,000 ASF music option) in the guideline application.

Application of the CEFPI guidelines shows a current deficit of 87,000 ASF. For the target plan, this deficit increases to about 121,100 ASF. While the majority of this guideline is assigned to the College of the Arts in this analysis, the distribution of this space and the guideline can be across many different programs. Examples include biology and geology (specimen collections), sciences (student inventions), health professions (instrument museum), and cultural studies.

10.0 Other Administrative Space Analysis

As with other academic space, other administrative space consists of a variety of space types. Again, no guideline has been developed by CEFPI to deal with such a diverse set of space types. In recent benchmarking studies, the consultants found other administrative space to have a range of less than one (1) ASF per Student FTE and as great as 46 ASF per Student FTE. The types of space included in this space category at KSU include:

§ Anne Frank Exhibit

§ meeting rooms (680’s) such as the meeting facilities in Jolley Lodge, meeting space used by the University Judiciary Program, and meeting facilities assigned to Auxiliary Enterprises

§ resource centers assigned to various centers such as the Lifelong Learning Center, Student Life Center

§ spaces assigned to “Georgia Games”

§ non-office space assigned to Public Safety

§ merchandising space (660’s) such as space assigned to the Credit Union

§ lounges and break rooms (650’s)

§ food facilities / vending areas (630’s) for staff

§ demonstration rooms (550’s) such as those assigned to the Center for University Learning

§ computer rooms (710’s)

§ non-physical plant storage (730’s)

Other administrative space averages just over two (2) ASF per Student FTE at the University. The consultants believe that a reasonable guideline for this space category is four (4) ASF per Student FTE. This guideline is at the low end of the benchmark range for this category but is in-line with other space needs on the campus.

For this space category the analysis at the base year showed a deficit of 35,500 ASF. At the target, the deficit decreases to 21,400 ASF. The increase in the existing space in the target plan reflects the additional space assigned to the Vice President of Human Resources and Diversity, Legal Affairs, in the new Classroom and Convocation Center.

11.0 Physical Plant Analysis

Physical plant space includes room use codes 720 through 765 but excludes parking decks. If central storage space (730’s) is not space assigned to and controlled by physical plant operations, it is counted in other space categories such as other academic or administrative department space, library, athletics, or residence life.

Most guidelines suggest a percentage of seven (7) to eight percent (8%) of all square footage on campus, minus existing physical plant and residence life space, be used to drive master plan needs in this category. CEFPI recommends eight percent (8%). In most cases, these percentages generate a space need that is greater than the amount of physical plant space typically found at an institution. From previous studies, the consultants have found that the average percentage used to drive physical plant space needs is approximately four (4) to seven percent (7%). One of the reasons a lower percentage is adequate for master planning purposes is the fact that many physical plant departments are increasing the outsourcing of many typical shop functions and are using just-in-time purchasing methods to decrease warehousing needs. For this analysis, the consultants applied two different percentages. For the base year, five percent (5%) of all existing square footage on campus, with the exception of existing physical plant, parking, and residence life space, is used to drive the space needs in this category. For the target scenario, a four percent (4%) guideline is applied to the projected guideline ASF excluding parking and residence life space. The reason for using two different percentages is that there are certain economies of scale that are reached as a campus increases its space. The base year guideline analysis shows a deficit of 6,300 ASF or 21%. At the target planning scenario, the deficit increases to about 56,900 ASF. While this deficit seems quite large, it is the amount of physical plant space needed to support a campus of 2.16 million asf (total guideline need minus physical plant guideline need).

12.0 Athletic Space Needs

Due to the varied space requirements of indoor athletics program space, there is no one guideline that addresses this space category. Using data from peer institutions, athletic space needs are usually based on the number and competitive level of the intercollegiate athletic activities. Kennesaw desires to move to Division I Athletics. However, the major intercollegiate sport (football, soccer, or ice hockey) that needs to be added in order to move to a Division I conference has not been selected. To create an analysis with the most flexibility, a plan that can accommodate any of the sports mentioned above, it is assumed that football will be the additional sport.

As discussed in detail in Section 2C, the consultants conducted a comparative analysis. The conclusion of the analysis was that 150,000 ASF for athletic space is a reasonable amount of square footage to use as a guideline for this master planning exercise. The amount of space generated for this space type does not include offices for the staff. It includes only the 520 range of room use codes plus space for concessions, training facilities, locker/shower rooms, and meeting/viewing/conference facilities required to support intercollegiate athletics. Space needs calculated in this report are for indoor space only and do not include the needs for outdoor athletic facilities.

The existing space was defined as the space currently occupied in the Bobbie Bailey Athletic Complex, Baseball and Softball Stadiums, Physical Education Building and the Physical Education Annex. For the target scenario, space in the Classroom and Convocation Center and the Hitting and Pitching Building are added. At the base year, guideline application shows a deficit of about 122,350 ASF. The target plan, after inclusion of the new buildings, the deficit decreases to 95,500 ASF. As mentioned earlier all new space is assumed to be an addition to existing space and not a replacement. Therefore the needs in athletics may be greater if this unit is vacating any existing space.

13.0 Student Center Space

CEFPI recommends a formula of nine (9) ASF per student and the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) recommends a formula of ten (10) ASF per student for each graduate and undergraduate student for generating student union space. These guidelines for space application provide space for the various functions and the room use code designations that are typically found in a comprehensive student union including: food service (630’s), bookstore (660’s), lounge (650’s), meeting space (680’s), student government/club space (300’s and 680’s), and other student service type space categories. The guideline applied by the consultants is nine (9) ASF per student for student center space at KSU.

At the base year, the application of space guidelines shows a deficit of 958,100 ASF. At the target year the deficit increases to approximately 146,300 ASF. Even though the student center received an addition within the last six years, the addition was not large enough to accommodate the significant student increases that KSU has experienced in the last five years.

14.0 Student Health Care Facilities

These facilities are usually coded in the 800’s and are defined as clinics established for the use of students. Health care facilities are not specifically addressed by the CEFPI guidelines. In recent benchmarking and consulting work with several statewide systems, the consultants found amounts of space in this category ranging from 0.3 ASF per Student FTE to four (4) ASF per

Student FTE. The average space per Student FTE for this category at the University was approximately .11 ASF per Student FTE. The consultants believe that a reasonable guideline for the University is .25 ASF per Student FTE. While this factor is just below the low end of the benchmark range, it is a number that reflects current need for space in this category.

The guideline application shows a deficit of 2,460 ASF or a 145% deficit at the base year. This deficit increases significantly at the target planning scenario to 3,880 ASF.

15.0 New Funded Space

The new funded space includes spaces which have been funded but for which a finalized program plan does not yet exist or for space under construction in which a specific department was not assigned to the space in the program. It is assumed that most of this space is for academic programs, which is why the asf is used to offset the academic space needs for the target plan. For details of the space refer to Table 3 Facilities Projections in Technical Memorandum 4B.

16.0 Other Space

Spaces in the facilities inventory database coded as parking decks, residence life (room use code 900’s), space occupied by outside organizations (TUFF), and Continuing Education’s space not classified as office space, are not included in this analysis. The existing and projected amounts of space in these categories have been noted at the bottom of the Space Needs Analysis table for the University and are not included in the total space calculations.
