Planning and Capital Budgets

The Planning team manages the current space inventory and as well as plan for future needs. Planning is guided by State mandated reporting, i.e., Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) Projections, the Facilities Master Plan, the Educational Plant Survey, and the Capital Improvement Plan. The team re-evaluates the Educational Plant Survey and the Master Plan on an ongoing basis and makes recommendations based on student enrollment and programmatic needs. The Planning team is also responsible for managing architectural, engineering, surveys, design, and construction documents for all College buildings and facilities.
The Capital Budget team monitors and provides oversight for both state and local funding sources used for capital improvement projects. Funding sources include State’s Public Educational Capital Outlay (PECO), State’s Capital Outlay & Debt Services (CODS), College’s Capital Improvement Student Fees, and revenues received from leases and sales of surplus property.
The Real Estate Services team is responsible for managing district-wide programs related to real estate, to include real estate development, appraisals, acquisition, capital improvement of real property, agreement negotiation and management. The Real Estate Services team also oversees the College’s storm water management needs and works closely with the local and state Water Management District to ensure all its Campuses and Centers are compliant.
The Technical Services team provides oversight and implementation of the College’s Computer Aided Facilities Management System which tracks and allows Staff and Faculty to submit work request orders collegewide. The Technical Service team is also responsible for performing annual Condition Assessment study on all the College’s building facilities and building systems. The Condition Assessment findings are loaded in the Computer Aided Facilities Management System and used as a road map for future repairs and services.
