FY 2016-2017 Capital Construction Request October 1, 2015

Request Summary: Front Range Community College (FRCC) proposes construction of a 49,478 gross square foot (GSF), $26,563,971 building on the Larimer Campus in Fort Collins. The building will be known as the Front Range Community College Larimer Campus Health Care Career Center (called the Allied Health and Nursing Building in last year’s submittal), and will consolidate and improve space for existing Allied Health and Nursing programs, including Nursing, Certified Nurse Aide, Phlebotomy, Medical Careers Exploration, Emergency Medical Services, Dental Assistant, Holistic Health and Health and Wellness, as well as potential new programs such as Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Lab Technician, Medical Assistants, and Dental Hygienist. FRCC is requesting funding of $19,657,338 from the State of Colorado and will supplement that funding with an additional $6,906,633 from institutional cash funds. If approved and funded, project design is scheduled to begin August 2016 with building occupancy in August 2018. The new facility will also make a substantial impact towards reducing the space deficiency the campus is experiencing.

through 2022 are Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses and Medical Assistants. It also shows that Dental Hygienists are among the fastest growing occupations. The plan is consistent with the goals of the 2007 Campus Master Plan and the 2012 Master Plan Update. The project will:

1. Provide better trained health care workers, meeting growing community and statewide demand for

trained health care and nursing professionals. 2. Relieve significant space shortages hampering the instruction of all the FRCC Larimer Campus

health care programs. 3. Provide space to add new health care educational programs to meet significant needs in Northern

Colorado. Programs that are currently being discussed include Laboratory Assistant, Pharmacy Technician and Dental Hygienist. While these programs are currently in demand, the College would undergo a rigorous market analysis to determine which of these reflect the greatest industry need and student demand.

4. Address the overall significant space deficit on the Larimer campus, thus improving operations for several space-constrained programs that can grow into the current space for Health Care programs as those spaces become vacant following the move into the new building.

5. Consolidate programs housed at FRCC Loveland to the Larimer Campus, strengthening adjacencies and providing convenience and improved learning experience for students when all health care classes are in the same building instead of two different locations.

6. Reduce costs associated with leased space. 7. Create a flexible, adaptable facility to meet the ever-changing needs of our academic programs. 8. Design a building that is cost efficient, safe, program-driven and environmentally sustainable.

A new Health Care Career Center at the Larimer Campus Front Range Community College will address a current and future statewide demand for trained health care and nursing professionals, thereby ensuring the success of this program in support of the community and State needs. Health care training programs at the campus have reached a level in size, scope and community need that justifies this facility. Without a new building, the existing nursing program will continue to suffer from poorly designed space and insufficient lab facilities, challenging the competitiveness and effectiveness of the program. This is the third year that funding has been requested for this building. In 2014-2015 the request was ranked 19th by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE), and last year the project was ranked 7th by CCHE. Vision for the New Building: The facility is anticipated to be three (3) stories with a mechanical penthouse or screened rooftop mechanical area. The structure will conform to the Front Range Community College Master Plan and design guidelines. Materials and aesthetics will be compatible with other structures recently completed on the campus. The architecture is expected to follow the FRCC campus precedence with a blend of brick masonry and horizontal banding details and with punched window openings. High performance glass curtain wall surfaces will be provided for public spaces. Massing of the building will be stepped to reduce scale and complement the adjacent campus architecture. The main public entrances shall be easily identified from site approaches.

It is anticipated that the project will be submitted to the City of Fort Collins Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR) process, as was done with the new southwest parking lot and Little Bear Peak construction projects. The Health Care Career Center will create environments that are responsive to present needs and capable of accommodating future demands. Several key needs led the program planning, including the need for the building to foster interaction and for flexibility to accommodate the changing educational environment. Office Spaces: The offices will be clustered together, encouraging faculty and staff collaboration and engagement, as well as providing identity within a department or among multiple departments. Grouping offices also allows savings in such areas as sharing support staff and equipment such as printers and copiers. Natural day lighting will be incorporated throughout the facility. Open offices and administrative work areas will engage the exterior windows and share daylight with the private offices. Classrooms and Lab Spaces The building will house a variety of state-of-the-art learning spaces including classrooms, labs, small group learning spaces and collaborative space to support the programs. Support spaces for equipment will be located adjacent to the instruction spaces. The building is envisioned as a technology-rich learning environment offering students and faculty a state-of-the-art technology capability including wired and wireless network access, visual presentation and collaboration, media capture, streaming and digital archiving of many class and lab activities. Instructional spaces will be designed to a level of durable finish consistent with FRCC’s current standards yet flexible enough to support the changing educational needs of the students. Public Spaces Entry, lobby, reception areas, restrooms, conference and meeting rooms will be designed to a higher class of finish. A multiple story lobby volume is anticipated, designed to display works depicting health and wellness. Corridors and public ways will have areas for display, collegiality and collaboration. Clinic areas will be accessed from the public spaces. Proposed building area: First floor 18,896 GSF Second floor 18,896 GSF Third floor 11,686 GSF Total 49,478 GSF

Background and Justification: This Health Care Career Center building plan is consistent with FRCC’s Larimer Campus New Allied Heath and Nursing Building Program Plan dated July 22, 2013, the 2012 Larimer Campus Master Plan Update and the 2007 Campus Master Plan. The facility will address four key improvements for Front Range Community College’s Allied Health and Nursing programs offered at the Larimer Campus in Fort Collins and in an off-campus leased facility. 1. Current office, laboratory and classroom space is not sufficient to meet current and projected

demand.

The 2012 Master Plan Update estimates that the Larimer Campus has an 110,964 sq. ft. space deficit based on enrollment projections consistent with historical growth. The college has taken several steps to address that deficit with approved cash funded projects that will add almost 41,278 square feet and renovate about 60,000 square feet.

Those projects will only partly address the deficit, however, and will not adequately meet all the needs of several programs on campus, including health care programs. The campus space deficit is outlined below:

Larimer Campus Space Deficiency

Space GSF Notes

Current Space Deficiency 110,964 Based on 79,260 ASF deficiency identified in 2012 Master Plan Update

Current Leased Space 30,034

Thompson, Neighborly Services, Prospect, JFK

Total Deficit 140,998

Less Current Cash Funded Projects (44,048)

Cash Fund Spending Authority Approved by CDC December 2012; Projects Approved by State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) on December 2014

Net Deficiency 96,950

Less Health Care Career Center (49,478) If Approved

Remaining Deficiency (47,472)

Even after the completion of the current improvements and the funding of the Health Care Career Center, the Larimer Campus will still have a space deficit of nearly 1,000 GSF. The college has few other remedies available to ease the space burden. Classes are already taught five days a week on the Larimer Campus, with many classes occurring on Saturday as well. In addition, the college leases

Page 4

approximately 30,034 square feet at four (4) different locations to support the Larimer Campus programs, paying rents that continue to escalate due to the strong office market. Highlighting the volatility of the real estate market in Fort Collins, a recent renewal for one of the main leases supporting the Larimer Campus (at the JFK Parkway facility) increased expenses by 25 percent.

2. Current medical career program space is inadequate and obsolete.

All the health care training programs at the Larimer Campus have grown far beyond the capacity of the campus to support them appropriately. Current estimates are that just to function as they do right now with little improvements in space, by most reasonable standards the programs are at least 14,000 assignable square feet short. But even more importantly, the programs have no space to meet critical instructional needs. For example, there is almost no space at all on campus to hold skills sessions for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) students. Instead, instructors hold skill sessions in hallways, under stair wells and in lobbies. In both EMT and Nursing, there is no good space for simulations that mimic real world scenarios. Additionally, the cost of maintaining already expensive nursing simulation equipment increases as a result of moving mannequins and hardware more often than they are designed to be relocated. For example, the original Noelle birthing simulator, a $68,000 capital funds purchase, had to be returned to the manufacturer for a complete replacement after a year as a result of moving it so often in order to accommodate other programs that share the lab space. Thus, the ability to house and maintain costly simulation equipment in a dedicated lab would increase product availability for students and reduce overall operating costs. The proposed new building would include adequate classroom and simulation space for these programs and several others. The shortage of dedicated lab space requires many programs to use classrooms, often creating disruptions due to the time it takes to take down specialty equipment. New space for health programs is particularly critical because the rapid aging of the Colorado population is projected to significantly increase demand for health care professionals. Based on the state demography Colorado Department of Local Affairs office report titled “population and economic overview” dated January 2014, it is estimated that by 2030, Colorado’s 65+ population will be 125 percent larger than it was in 2010, growing from 555,00 to 1,243,0001. Residents over 65 are growing more than three (3) times as fast as the general population. Currently, Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical and Vocational Nurses and Medical Assistants are considered high demand occupational groups per the January 2014 Colorado Department of Higher Education Legislative Report on The Skills For Job Act. In the next 10 years, it is likely that demand for these occupations will be more robust and other health professions will join the list of high demand occupations. The CDHE report shows that a 25 percent growth rate is projected for healthcare support occupations. The top 30 occupations projected in Colorado between 2012 and 2020 include Registered Nurses (#2), Nursing Assistants (#16), Medical Assistants (#28) and Licensed Practical Nurses (#30). New this year are additional demands for expanding the health care careers programs. Our community partners, UC Health and Associates in Family Medicine, are requesting addition of a Medical Assistant program at the Larimer Campus. Columbine Health Systems is requesting that FRCC add a Licensed Practical Nurse program.

While the previously approved cash-funded projects on the campus will address some of these issues, they will not provide nearly enough space to completely meet program needs. Moreover, they will not provide any ability to consolidate programs now housed offsite, as noted below, nor will they provide any allowance for program growth.

3. Nursing and other health care programs are spread over two locations in Fort Collins and

Loveland, reducing program synergies and adding administrative costs.

This project will consolidate all health care training programs housed on the Fort Collins campus with programs now offered in a leased facility in Loveland. Having all programs on campus provides students valuable access to student support services and student life opportunities. Programs that would return to the Fort Collins Campus include Nurse Aid, Emergency Medical Technician (currently split between two locations), Holistic Health, and Medical Careers Exploration for High School Students.

4. In addition to health care training programs, other academic and administrative programs are now operated in leased space because of campus space deficiencies, inconveniencing students and increasing administrative costs.

Once the heath care career programs are relocated to the new Healthcare Career Center, the opportunity exists to bring back to campus other programs in leased space. The College leases approximately 30,434 GSF in six (6) locations for programs that support both the campus and College. The College will work quickly to identify the uses in leased space that would be considered to backfill the estimated 19,893 ASF vacated in Blanca Peak.

Space Summary: The space needs at FRCC are now approaching critical levels that are starting to strain all programs as well as the whole campus in general FRCC’s 2012 Master Facilities Plan identifies significant needs for classroom, lab, office, and student space on the Larimer Campus due to consistent enrollment growth in the previous 15 years. Among the highest of those needs is space for the health care training programs, which have the most inadequate spaces on campus and face by far the largest potential demand in the future as Colorado’s population ages. Current facilities force some of our students to be taught in hallways and under stairwells due to the lack of adequate instructional spaces. This causes health and life safety concerns. In addition, we lack adequate laboratory and simulation spaces in all of our health care programs. Our nurses, for example, should train in rooms that mimic modern complex hospital rooms instead of an open lab. We also do not have room to add programs to address developing workforce needs in Northern Colorado. For example, the University Hospital system, which operates two large hospitals and several clinics in Larimer County, has asked us to address a key shortage in Medical Assistants in Northern Colorado, but we have no space to do so on campus. Furthermore, the healthcare career programs that will be part of the facility are among the “Top 30 Occupations with Highest Projected Opening with More than Half of Workers with Postsecondary Experience” as needed by the State of Colorado. Beneficiary Summary: The proposed project will have a beneficial effect on the whole campus by providing much needed classroom, lab, and seminar spaces, students study spaces, and offices that will help us locate program faculty in the same vicinity so they will be able to better support and engage each other and students. It will allow the campus to consolidate two rented spaces, one in Loveland and one in northern Fort Collins, creating better synergies among now dispersed staff, saving rent expenses, and reducing hassles for students who need to travel between sites. The relocation of programs into the new building will allow for vacated spaces to be reprogrammed providing for expansion of other academic areas that are in dire need of 21st century learning spaces and in particular will allow FRCC to add additional study and meeting spaces for students, which is in very limited supply on campus. Goals Summary: The project aligns with Goal 1 of the Higher Education Master Plan, Increase the Attainment of High Quality Post-Secondary Education Credentials. In addition, Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical and Vocational Nurses and Medical Assistants are considered high demand occupational groups per the January 2014 Colorado Department of Higher Education Legislative Report on The Skills For Job Act. The CDHE report shows that a 25% growth rate is projected for healthcare support occupations. The top 30 occupations projected in Colorado between 2012 and 2020 include Registered Nurses (#2), Nursing Assistants (#16), Medical Assistants (#28) and Licensed Practical Nurses (#30). The project also meets key campus and College goals. The Larimer Campus 2012 Master Plan update was developed in response to 15 years of unabated enrollment growth, widely anticipated economic and population growth in Northern Colorado, and a lack of construction to meet that growth. Based on a very careful analysis of all spaces on campus, it identified a series of five construction projects, including the construction of this building, to address space needs of over 100,000 square feet. This project is a critical step in meeting the master plan. FRCC also developed a strategic plan in 2010 to address key needs identified by the communities we serve. That plan includes five key goals, the last of which is “Resource Development and Sustainability.” That goal included objectives to ensure adequate, safe, and appealing facilities on all our campuses. Our current

Larimer health care facilities are not adequate in terms of space or lab design and in some cases are becoming unsafe. This project will clearly meet the goals of the colleges plan. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis: A life cycle cost analysis for the new facility provides important information about operating costs and long-term repair and replacement costs. Based upon current FRCC operating costs, the following are estimated costs for the new Health Care Career Center.

Total Present Value for Owning and Operating Costs over the Study Period 26,289,934 Consequences if not funded: The consequences of the HealthCare Career Center not being funded include continuing to operate programs out of leased space with students and faculty located in separate locations, and still confronting the potential need to increase our leased presence to keep up with the demands of the health care programs. These satellite-leased facilities are not desirable for the following reasons: Having Nursing and other health programs located in facilities miles apart hinders the ability to

collaborate on training and engage the entire student body as one entity; Off-campus leased space is not convenient for students who have limited access to cars and have to

rely on bus service; Off-campus leased facilities do not offer the same services available on campus, including

counseling and financial aid, nor access to amenities such as the student union or the library; Finding a suitable office building to accommodate the entire program will be difficult and costly.

The current leased facility where many health related programs are located is not big enough to accommodate the entire program;

It is not practical for the college to make large investments for dedicated lab facilities in leased space and we cannot allocate State controlled maintenance funds for leased facilities;

Programs in leased space are subject to relocation at the end of a lease cycle, causing further disruption to students and faculty alike as well as the added cost of relocating;

Significant program donations are unlikely to be realized if programs are in leased space. Operating Budget Impact: FRCC anticipates a necessary increase in the operating budget to account for the new Health Care Career Center. The increase is due to the fact that there will be an additional 49,478 GSF building on the campus,

Page 9

which will require maintenance, cleaning and utility services throughout the building. By pursuing LEED certification in this project, the college hopes to minimize the additional costs expected from energy and water consumption. We anticipate annual security and facility maintenance costs of about $452,000, which will be offset by approximately $285,000 from lease savings and staff efficiencies generated when the Allied Health and Nursing programs are moved from leased space into the new building. In addition, once the Health Care Career Center-related programs currently in Blanca Peak are moved to the new building, other non-health care programs which are in leased space can be consolidated back to campus, resulting in further savings. Operating costs, combined with repair and replacement costs, drive life cycle costs for a building. These costs, combined with the value of today’s dollar, are what drive the total life cycle costs of the capital investment. The summary below indicates the approximate costs associated with operating the facility on an annual basis. This feeds the life cycle analysis which provides budget information for future years.

Assumptions for Calculations: The project budget for the single phase construction of the new Health Care Career Center facility is $26,563,971. The source of this project cost estimate includes new construction costs for recently contracted projects at the FRCC campus, such as the new $10.3M Little Bear Peak building, as well as comparable Health Care Career building projects. The project cost was estimated based on a comprehensive 2013 Adolfson and Peterson Construction estimate, which has been further adjusted with a 5 percent per year increase to account for cost escalations for the 2016-2017 construction time frame. This project is composed entirely of new construction and no renovation. Equipment costs, based on similar academic facilities, laboratories and office settings, were considered in the project costs estimate. The current inventory of furniture and equipment used by these programs will be augmented with new items.

FRCC was able to estimate construction dollars per square foot for the construction of the Health Care Career Center using the divisions listed in the table below. The college used a comparative analysis of the Little Bear Peak building which was completed in 2014, as well as a comparative analysis of UC Hospitals & Health Care Facilities, and the American Appraisal, Duff & Phelps Healthcare Cost Trend Bulletin dated July 2014. FRCC will pursue LEED certification for the Health Care Career Center as we have done with other recent buildings on campus. Construction costs for our most recent building, Little Bear Peak, provide a good foundation from which to project construction costs for the Health Care Career Center. Adolfson & Peterson Construction assisted Front Range Community College in preparing a Health Care Career Center Conceptual Project Budget in July 2013. An escalation factor of 5 percent in year one and 6 percent in year two was applied to adjust for the rapidly rising costs that Colorado has been experiencing in the construction industry and to account for the additional years since the last cost estimate.
