Brandon University CAMPUS SPACE PLAN STUDY SUMMARY

RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

In conjunction with the development of a Brandon University Campus Master Plan (by DIALOG Inc.), RPG was retained as a sub consultant to undertake a study that would as its scope:

1. Inventory existing University indoor and outdoor space1; and

2. Conduct a utilization study of these spaces.

An overarching goal of the University, is “to maximize the value to students staff and the regional communities of the current campus and to inform future development plans by identifying shortages, deficiencies and spaces that could be re-purposed to provide the most effective services and utilization of resources.”

In addition to the above noted scope, and to support the development of the Campus Master Plan with and understanding of the potential future campus build out plan, RPG assisted by translating University-provided FTE Projections into high-level component Space Projections for campus teaching, research, administrative, student, central and support spaces.

As an integral component to the development of a comprehensive Master Plan for the Brandon University Brandon Campus, the physical areas within the Campus’ buildings need be considered to achieve an understanding of the potential future campus build out plan. The consultant team assisted by inventorying campus space, translating student FTE predictions into high-level space projections for teaching, research, administrative, student, central and support spaces, and reviewing the current utilization of teaching space. This space planning assessment of the Campus’ interior spaces was addressed through three distinct yet related components:

• The development of database of existing campus spaces including Academic Learning Spaces (Classrooms and Teaching Labs), Research Laboratories, Academic and Administrative Work spaces, Library and Student Study spaces, and Student & Central Services spaces, and their associated net areas, measured as the usable horizontal area, from inside faces of walls, assignable to a specific function.

• Derived through use of post-secondary education guidelines, and considering the University’s estimated student enrolment, the calculation of annual space requirements for the next 10 years across a variety of space categories.

• A review of current utilization of teaching spaces (classrooms and instructional labs) across the Brandon Campus, considering room bookings over availability and in-class seat occupancy over room capacity.

RPG conducted the study during the Fall/Winter 2016/17 Semesters (October 2016-April 2017.) A diagram outlining RPG’s Methodology for this project and delineation of progress to date is presented below:

The physical capacity of BU, like most any post-secondary institution, is a product of multiple factors including the undergraduate and graduate enrolments, the teaching and learning as well as academic and research activities of the University, the design of the existing facilities, the on-campus areas available for development, and the relationship between the campus and the surrounding community. The intent of this Campus Space Plan study was to provide some insight to BU and its stakeholders with respect to future discussions regarding the appropriateness of the space and the capacity of the campus. This plan is intended to equip BU as a preliminary tool to determine space needs in line with both current enrolment figures as well as those projected by BU’s Office of Institutional Data and Analysis.

Together, the Existing Space Inventory, the Space Projections, and the Space Utilization components of the study, collectively concluded that, when considering the total amount of existing net assignable area available for primary academic purposes, with the existing frequency of use of teaching rooms, and the occupancy of space therein, that BU has sufficient space to meet present Undergraduate and Graduate loading requirements. However, while the total amount of space meets and exceeds industry standard space requirements per BU’s undergraduate and graduate enrolment numbers, the distribution of the space needs refinement as there exists over- and under-allocation of that total space across a couple space categories that make up the University. This is particularly noted for Category 3 Research Laboratory space which is significantly under allocated.

Means of addressing the under allocation include building new facilities, or renovating and repurposing existing space. The existing space inventory coupled with the existing utilization rates, reflect that there is a significant surplus of instructional space on Campus for current enrolment numbers. It is anticipated that several initiatives, both policy and physical related, could assist in addressing the under-allocation, or perceptions of under-allocation.

Instituting and employing a campus-wide scheduling program as an initial step would greatly improve teaching space utilization, and allow for the reallocation of less used teaching space to research purposes. This step would be very significant for the Faculty of Science which is arguably the most underserved when it comes to Research space, as Science programs by their nature require specific physical spaces including both wet and dry labs that can accommodate provide specific environments and accommodate specific equipment. Employing the scheduling program as a means of space management will also help BU right-size their current teaching spaces to fit current teaching pedagogy.

A challenge when considering reallocation of space from one category to another involves achieving a workable balance of space types across the campus and within facilities – so that concentrations of, for example instruction space at one end of the campus and research space at the other, are minimized.

A second challenge when repurposing existing space is ensuring that existing building infrastructure can readily and efficiently, both economically and operationally, be renovated. Further studies on the appropriate and receptiveness of existing buildings to renovation should be undertaken.

A.3 CONSIDERATIONS


RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

Looking ahead ten years into the future, inputting BU’s projected enrolments across Faculties and Schools, and anticipating that the University would take measures to increase utilization rates from current low levels and reach industry standard utilization target rates for its spaces, it is projected that the University space requirements (~36,635 NASM) will outgrow its current inventory of space (~36,096 NASM) in the Year 2025, when enrolment is at 3,626 FTE students. It is in anticipation of this scenario that the University will need to explore opportunities for expanded and renovated space to accommodate the growth of the student body, as well as new Faculty members and allow for expanded program offerings, potential new Faculties and additional administrative, student and campus services.

As BU continues its path of Campus Planning, a number of further studies are recommended.

As calculations in this study do not factor in the existing life span or physical state of current buildings on campus. Further targeted Capital Assessments examining the campus infrastructure for specific facilities, including notably the Brodie Science Building, from architectural, and structural, mechanical and electrical engineering perspectives are recommended.

Detailed Functional Programs should be developed that would address the specific strategic growth plans and requirements of individual Faculty and School, as well as other stakeholders including the University’s student body and affiliated services as well as the Campus administration. Functional Programs serve a range of purposes:

• Provides the design team, users and management with a document summarizing key functional, operational and spatial requirements for a project in sufficient detail to initiate schematic design.

• Provide users, management and others with a reference manual with which to monitor and manage the development of the selected building design, ensuring that the design solution accurately addresses issues of functional suitability.

• Provide project approval and funding authorities with information on which to base preliminary capital and operating requirements.

• Provide users and management with a reference manual that can be used to assist in the development of administrative and organization policies and new services and operational procedures for the project.

A Facility (Indoor Space) Master Plan that would integrate the outcomes of the Campus Master Plan, the Campus Space Plan, and Functional Programs to map out location and sequencing of renovations and new builds. The Facility Master Plans can be focussed on a single building mapping out renovations and reallocation of Faculty or Department spaces, or look more broadly at a number of buildings across campus.

Brandon University CAMPUS SPACE PLAN STUDY EXISTING SPACE INVENTORY

RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

In the absence of a detailed campus-wide Space Inventory for the Campus, RPG developed a working inventory of current space by compiling and reviewing plans and information from a variety of sources including a Learning Spaces Inventory from the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, floorplans provided by Brandon University Physical Plant and room allocations provided by individual Faculties and Departments/Schools. Brandon University’s Physical Plant’s floorplans, existed in a variety of formats including scans of original hand-drawn blueprints, scans of CAD-generated floorplans, true CAD 2-dimensional plans, fire-exit plans, and floor room-numbering plans.

Campus spaces were inventoried from all Campus buildings, except for Residences, the Early Learning Centre, University-owned houses, and buildings dedicated to Physical Plant. Specifically, the space inventory included the following Brandon Campus buildings:

• A.E. McKenzie Building (Admissions Office and Student Services) • Clark Hall (Arts Building) • Dr. James & Lucille Brown Health Studies Complex • Education Building • George T. Richardson Centre (John E. Robbins Library) • Glen P. Sutherland Gallery of Art / Jeff Umphrey Building • Healthy Living Centre • John R. Brodie Science Centre • Knowles-Douglas Students’ Union Centre • Main Dining Hall • McMaster Hall • Queen Elizabeth II Music Building A Campus Map highlighting the building inventoried in the study is provided on the following page.

To assist in validating the total Net Areas (or Net Assignable Square Metres, NASM), the areas were compared against a known total building gross area (or Total Building Gross Square Metres, BGSM) per building provided by BU Physical Plant.

• Net Area or Net Assignable Square Metres (NASM) is the amount of horizontal area of space, which can be used by the occupants of the building, and assignable to a certain function. NASM is the sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant, including every type of space functionally usable by an occupant (except Custodial, Circulation and Mechanical area). Net assignable space is counted for Categories 1-20, excluding Category 16. (Council of Ontario Universities)

• Component Gross Square Meters (CGSM) or Departmental Gross Square Meters (DGSM) is the portion of a building assigned to a specific component/department but including only the net assignable areas plus internal component circulation, partitions.

• Total Building Gross Area is defined as the sum of the floor areas included within the outside faces of exterior walls for all stories, or areas, which have floor surfaces. (Council of Ontario Universities)

Figure 2 Brandon University Campus Map highlighting (beige) buildings inventoried in the Space Planning Study.

A campus orientation and verification visit by RPG took place in November 2016, and involved touring the buildings that currently comprise the Brandon Campus to confirm the validity of the provided plans and information, and to clarify any discrepancies in the documentation. All plans were input into a CAD program for net area takeoffs.


RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

Simultaneously, spaces were classified (and numbered) as per the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) Inventory of Physical Facilities for Ontario Universities (May 2015) standards.

The COU standards/guidelines are often used by Canadian Universities, and other post-secondary institutions as a basis for projecting space because they represent a systematic, analytical approach to evaluate the utilization of existing physical resources and to forecast future requirements. The COU inventory has been maintained and updated regularly since 1971 and represent the largest national database for Canadian institutions. The space generated by the standards are based on several variables, for example, the formula for calculating classroom space includes the average university classroom station size, the room utilization standard and station utilization standard. Components are regularly reviewed to consider changes in teaching pedagogies and uses of space.

COU Space Categories are individually defined as follows:

A room primarily used for scheduled teaching purposes which does not require special equipment of a kind that makes the room unsuitable for classroom instruction (i.e., laboratory benches) and rooms directly serving such facilities.

A room used for instruction of undergraduate students that requires special purpose equipment or is so arranged that use is restricted to a field of study; and rooms directly serving these facilities. Activities in these facilities would include student participation, experimentation, observation or practice in a field of study.

A room used for laboratory applications, research or training in research methodology which requires special-purpose equipment for staff or graduate student experimentation or observation and preparation, service and other rooms directly serving these facilities.

A room usually assigned to one or more individuals on a permanent basis, containing office-type equipment and used by faculty, departmental administrative and support staff, and students, or a room directly serving these facilities. Also included are general purpose offices and project rooms used for the conducting of research may have previously been reported in Category 3.

A room or group of rooms used for the acquisition, processing, storage, circulation, administration and management of books, periodicals, manuscripts and other media of published information under the administration of the university library system and rooms directly serving these facilities. Also included are rooms or groups of rooms used for study whether or not under the administration of the university library system.

All indoor areas used by students, staff, or the public for athletic activities, either for recreational or competitive purposes, and rooms directly serving these facilities.

A room or group of rooms used for preparing or eating food or which directly serve these facilities including central facilities located in residences and faculty clubs, whether operated by the university or an external company.

A room or group of rooms used to sell products or services, exclusively or primarily for the university population, and rooms directly serving these facilities.

Space associated with the operation and maintenance of university buildings, grounds, vehicles and other elements of the physical plant.

A room usually assigned to one or more individuals on a permanent basis containing office-type equipment and used by central administrative and support staff in non-academic departments/faculties/divisions, or a room directly serving these facilities.

A room or group of rooms used to provide campus-wide services (including the production, distribution and storage of non-print instructional media) for both academic and non-academic sections of the university, and rooms directly serving these facilities.

A room or group of rooms intended to supply health services primarily to the general university population, and rooms directly serving these physical and wellness services facilities.

A room or group of rooms accessible to the general university population intended for recreation, rest or relaxation, or rooms directly serving these facilities.

Note that Category 11 (Previously AV TV Facilities) no longer exists as a separate category as these spaces have now been included in Category 12 Central Services. COU also has the following Categories that were not reviewed as part of this study, though were projected based on average ratios in line with other Canadian Universities:

A room or area that is not available for assignment to the occupants of a building but which is necessary for the general occupation or mechanical support of one or a number of buildings.

A room or rooms used to accommodate one or more individuals and the ancillary areas in direct support of such rooms.

Centralized animal facilities (including long term holdings) in overall support of teaching or research and not normally integrated with or under the control of academic departments.

Any room or area not included in Categories 1 through 18. For example:

• Day Care Facilities • Rifle Ranges and Other Space in Support of Military Training • Merchandising Facilities Not Exclusively or Primarily Serving the

University Population • Demonstration Schools and Other Instructional Institutions for Non-

Figure 5 Chart depicting BU’s historical and projected undergraduate and graduate student enrolment (FTE.)

As BU does not have a comprehensive framework to guide its space planning and management decisions, high-level space projections were derived using utilizing COU guidelines from the Inventory of Physical Facilities for Ontario Universities (May 2015) (and Standards from other jurisdictions applied therein). In consultation with BU, these space standards were deemed appropriate for the University for this Campus Master Plan level of planning.

Note that the data in the previous two figures accounts for students at the Brandon Campus, and does not include data for Programs at the Winnipeg or Dauphine Campuses.

RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

RPG collected teaching–space room scheduling and booking data provided by the Office of the Vice-President (Administration and Finance), the Registrar, and RPG room allocation surveys returned by individual Faculties and Schools.

Enrolment data was provided for the Fall 2016/17 Academic term, and is considered a reasonably accurate reflection of average peak scheduled instructional times and the associated rooms an appropriate to provide a snapshot of current utilization.

The collected information was tabulated to establish teaching space utilization rates with respect to frequency of use of space, and occupancy of seats within teaching spaces:

• Frequency · The frequency rate measures the proportion of time that space is

used compared to its availability. Recommended rate of 60-75% • Occupancy

· The occupancy rate measures how full the space is compared to its capacity.

• Utilization · The utilization rate is a function of a frequency rate and an

occupancy rate. Frequency was determined based on a typical 67.5 hour week at BU, with instruction occurring Monday – Thursday from 08:30AM – 10:00PM and on Fridays from 08:30AM – 05:00PM.

The relationship between Frequency, Occupancy, and Utilization and the Space Factor applied to the Teaching Classrooms (Category 1) space projections shown in the previous section of this report is as follows:

Brandon University Section - Space Planning Considerations CAMPUS SPACE PLAN STUDY SPACE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

RPG Inc. 2017.06.06

BU has several opportunities to consider when looking ahead to meet current space challenges as well as those anticipated with increasing and changing enrolments including short term and long-term strategies.

Listed below are several space planning considerations, both physical and policy-based, that BU might consider with its stakeholders regarding means of improving campus space management:

• Survey the Faculty and Students for factors that make a teaching space (classroom or lab) desirable for Faculty and Students, survey existing teaching spaces for those factors (Learning Spaces Inventory).

• Review and update existing classrooms to meet modern pedagogical and technological requirements, reducing scheduling blocks from space being inadequately outfitted.

• Right-size or renovate larger classrooms with moveable partitions to regularly and effectively transition from accommodating larger groups of students to two or more smaller groups or class sizes.

• Support on-going changes to the library space for the creation of more learning spaces like maker-space, or shared study areas, rather than under-referenced stacks and archives.

• Explore existing building configurations to repurpose and/or activate less used/overlooked space, enhancing interstitial spaces with power outlets and mixed seating arrangements to accommodate learning outside the classroom.

• Identify and renovate program-specific spaces to become multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary, increasing opportunities for use by multiple Faculties and Programs.

• Leverage new enabling technologies, like enhanced Wi-Fi networks and tablets and laptop or remote hosts and connections, reducing technology restricted spaces like desktop computer laps.

• Review scheduling practices and policies, and determine and review any artificial blocks on scheduling.

• Consider standardizing time block scheduling across all Faculties and buildings.

• Develop campus guidelines and standards on Administration and Academic workplace accommodation, identify significant outliers and develop a plan to implement changes to bring outliers into alignment.

• Develop Master Programs and/or Functional Programs attuned to specific Faculty/Department Strategic Plans, programmatic requirements and academic missions

• Develop Campus-wide Research Space guidelines and considering allocation models tied to funding incentives.

• Review policies for after-hour and “between-hour” use of classrooms as meeting/study/research spaces for students and faculty.

• Consider means of marketing under-utilized campus space to community members external to the University.

• Review storage policies for on-campus storage and develop a plan to reduce and off-load storage to more efficient off-campus locations.

• Implement policy changes gradually over time as space come due for renovation, repair, upgrading.
