INTRODUCTION
This report is a summary of the major findings in the study ofpossible sites for the Kansas City Kansas Community JuniorCollege. The study is concerned with the feasibility and thedesirability of locating the college on an urban, downtown site;a suburban site; or a rural site in Wyandotte County.
The role and scope of the college were studied in an effort tofind those elements which give direction to the overall develop-ment of the campus. These elements, combined with the mostdesirable functional relationships between the college and thecommunity, provide a basis by which decisions can be reachedin making a site selection.
The community was studied with a view toward its potentialdevelopment, as well as existing conditions. It is, however, thepotential of the community that is most important in the devel-opment of criteria for the location of the college. The collegeitself must look to fulfilling the needs of a community whosefuture pattern of physical development and socio-economic char-acteristics will be quite different from that of today.

STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRE
The college questioned the present student body for informationon methods of transportation to and from school, opinions con-cerning a preferred location for a new facility, and student em-ployment as it might be affected by the location of the newfacility. The response to the questionnaire overwhelmingly sup-ports the construction of a new facility in a suburban location.For that segment of the community now using the college themajority drive to the college; the majority prefer a site outside ofdowntown Kansas City, Kansas with space for development of amore extensive type of facility; and, for the majority, the loca-tion of a new facility would not affect their employment. Thecomplete results of this questionnaire appear on the following
Page.
The fact that 73% of the students drive to college and 77%desire a location outside of the downtown area is a reflection ofthe current parking problems at the existing college. The studentsno doubt recognize the diffici -Ity in providing adequate parkingin a downtown location and the probability that a suburban loca-tion would include close and convenient parking.
Although there is little more to be drawn from this questionnaire,it may be important in locating the college to recognize that stu-dent jobs may be generated more in suburban areas than in adowntown area. If the student is full-time, he must look for ajob that is created by other than daytime business peaks. The su-burban retail operation is geared more to this kind of frequencythan is the downtown. Traditionally, downtown is a daytimeoperation whereas the grocery, drug, variety and specialty out-lets in suburbia operate during the evening hours and experiencea major portion of their business at that time.

STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS
TRANSPORTATION
73% regularly drive an automobile to college
15% ride in an automobile with someone else who drives to college
6% use some form of public transportation such as buses, taxis, etc.
3% regularly walk to college
LOCATION
77% prefer a location outside of downtown Kansas City, Kansas, withspace for development of a more extensive type of faciltiy
15% prefer a location downtown with a possible high-rise type of con-
struction
5% prefer a location downtown with limited acreage and a compact
type of building location
EMPLOYMENT
77% hold a job while attending college
As far as the job is concerned, it would be better if the college
were located:
12% no farther out than 10th Street
13% no farther out than 18th Street
9% no farther out than 39th Street
10% no farther out than 55th Street
16% no farther out than 78th Street
39% no preference

REQUIRED SITE AREAThe area required for facilities needed to implement the educa-tional program is an important consideration in the selection ofa site and is usually determined by the program itself. Althougha completed program is not available at this time, it is necessaryfor purposes of this study to estimate these requirements. Con-sideration of the projected role and scope of the college, com-bined with past experience and research by CRS, has made itpossible to estimate the requirements for 4,000 students. Theestimate which appears on the following page is for purposes ofthis study only.
Each of the required site areas shown may be varied or alteredby Board policy or limitations imposed by the site or program.The building area could be accommodated on a very small sitethrough the use of high-rise construction. For example, at adensity with a floor area ratio of 2.0 and a ground area coverageof .50%, the college could be accommodated on a 6.4-acre site.This would, however, result in an average building height of fivestories.
Physical education and athletic areas may also vary dependingon the type and amount of facilities provided. The 17.07 acreswould be for a minimum type field facility. Of the total aca-demic program, the role and scope of the physical education andathletics program will have considerable site implications. Theseactivities require substantial land areas for instruction, practiceand sports events. If the college is committed to the continuanceof a physical education and athletic program a larger site mustbe acquired. The alternatives are:
Provide typical gymnasium facilities on campus, with fieldfacilities at a remote location.
Concentrate on the development of those activities that donot require large outdoor field areas. Develop a health clubtype of facility.

DEVELOPMENT COSTIn comparing costs between an urban and suburban campus,three major areas of cost are usually evaluated: land acqui-
sition, building construction, and site development.
LAND ACQUISITION
Although actual land acquisition cost can only be determined
after thorough investigation of land prices throughout the county,undoubtedly per acre land cost in the intensely developed urban
area would be higher than in the suburban areas. If developed
urban land was acquired, improvements of the land would tendto make land costs higher. Also, if the land were outside of anurban renewal area, the college would have to assume the cost ofland clearance.
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
In an urban setting, because of limited availability and high cost
of land, sites are usually comparatively small. Consequently,
high-rise construction is required for proper utilization of thesite. On the other hand, lower land cost in a suburban location
would permit a larger site and allow low-rise construction whichusually costs from 2.5% to 3% less than does high-rise.
SITE DEVELOPMENT ...
Site development costs include utility distribution systems, walks,
drives, landscaping, playfields and parking. Parking requirements
are significant in a commuter college and, where land is limited,parking structures must be provided. For this reason, site devel-
opment costs for the urban location can run from 2.5 to 3 times
more than for the suburban site.
The above comparisons will, of course, be affected by the actual
costs of the land. However, for the purposes of this study, anurban campus can be expected to cost from 25% to 30% more
14 than a suburban campus.
i
COMMUNITY CONSIDERATIONS
ACCESS
Access to the college is a major factor in considering location.
Because the college must depend on a commuter student popu-
lation, and because its development as the educational-cultural
center of the community will attract people from all parts ofthe county, direct and convenient access from all areas is desir-
able.
In this study access has been reviewed from the standpoint of the
future system of thoroughfares. As shown on the Major Thor-
oughfare map, the proposed system of freeways and major thor-
oughfares will provide excellent access to all partsof the county.
The areas at the intersection of urban expressways, but at leastone-half to one mile from the interchange of these expressways,are areas of optimum access. These locations insure the avail-
ability of access from the expressway to the major street system,
a transition not usually provided at the interchange of two majorexpressways. The location most central to all parts of the county
is at the intersection of the turnpike and the KCI expressway
planned in the vicinity of 72nd Street.

RECOMMENDATION
From the study and analysis of the various determinants of sitelocation, there is a strong indication that in terms of cost, com-munity service, access, and the ability to fulfill the educationalprogram site requirements, the most realistic solution would beto choose a suburban location.
An optimum location from the standpoint of access, availablevacant land, and the centroid of the population would be anarea between 51st Street, 72nd Street, Leavenworth Road anda line just south of the turnpike. The circle prescribed 0!: themap is in no way magic; should costs be exorbitant or sitesunavailable, the spectrum could be broadened to a greater radius.
