OPPAGA Report - State Higher Education Facility Planning Process Is Designed Reasonably Well; Current Formulas May Inaccurately Portray Projected Needs
OPPAGA Description: Florida's current processes to select and fund higher education facility
construction projects include multiple levels of review and ensure that
institutional requests for new construction are coordinated with the states
higher education goals, local strategic plans, and community development plans.
However, the effectiveness of the planning process is dependent on the
information provided by the institutions to their respective state-level
divisions to determine the state's most critical facility needs. As the facility
planning process relies heavily on each institution's educational plant survey to
identify and prioritize higher education facility needs, it is important that
the information contained in these assessments is correct. The reliability and
accuracy of information contained in these surveys could be improved by
addressing two issues. The Department of Education and Board of Governors should
update the formulas used to develop educational plant surveys to ensure they
accurately portray current institutional need for additional facility space. The
department and the Board of Governors should provide additional technical
assistance to some institutions to address common errors in educational plant
surveys.

OPPAGA Report - Higher Education Facility Construction Costs Are Reasonable; Some Improvements Could Maximize Use of Campus Classroom Space
OPPAGA Description:
Both the university and community college systems are building reasonably
cost-effective facilities compared to national norms. However, these costs
continue to rise while Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funding, the
primary state source of higher education funding, is predicted to decline after
2006-07. Postsecondary institutions will need to develop long-term strategies to
reduce construction costs, which should include adopting prototypical designs,
implementing energy cost sharing, and maximizing existing facility use. In
general, the allocation of university and community college space is consistent
with available national benchmarks and institutional missions. Although a
relatively small percentage of all space is used for classrooms, this allocation
is consistent with national norms, and institutional differences reflect the
student populations served. Classrooms at some state universities and community
colleges are underutilized. Overall, only about half of all university
classrooms and less than half of community college classrooms have classes
scheduled in them throughout the week (Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM).
Classroom usage rates vary considerably by time of day, day of week, and
institution. Although some factors affecting underutilization may be outside the
control of institutions, they can take steps to improve classroom utilization
and delay the need to build additional classrooms.
