I. OVERVIEW

a. Executive Summary

Front Range Community College (FRCC) proposes construction of a 49,477 gross square foot (GSF), $23,867,000 building on the Larimer Campus in Fort Collins. The building 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, Health and Wellness, as well as potential new programs such as Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Lab Technician, and Dental Hygienist. FRCC is requesting funding of $19,867,000 from the State of Colorado and will supplement that funding with an additional $4,000,000 from Institutional Reserves. If approved and funded, project design is scheduled to begin July 2014 with building occupancy in June 2016. 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 Allied Health and Nursing professionals. 2. Relieve significant space shortages hampering all the FRCC Larimer Campus

Allied Health and Nursing. 3. Provide space to add new Allied Health programs to meet significant needs in

Northern Colorado. Programs that are currently being discussed include Laboratory Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Dental Hygiene. While these programs are currently in demand, the College would undergo a rigorous market analysis - to determine which 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 Allied Health space.

5. Consolidate programs housed at the Community Learning Center in Loveland to the Larimer Campus, strengthening adjacencies and providing convenience for students.

6. Reduce costs associated with leased space. 7. Create a flexible, adaptable facility to meet the ever-changing needs of our

academic programs. 8. Develop a building that is cost efficient, program-driven, and environmentally

sustainable.

This plan will address four key problems facing the Larimer Campus: 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 projects consistent with historical growth. The college has taken several steps to address that deficit with approved cash funded projects that will add almost 63,000 square feet and renovate about 50,000 square feet. The projects, totaling almost $25 million, are being funded by student fees and college reserves. 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 27,607 Thompson, Observatory, Neighborly Services, Prospect

Total Deficit 138,571 Less Current Cash Funded Projects

(63,000) Cash Fund Spending Authority Approved by CDC December 2012; Projects Approved by State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) on April 2013

Net Deficiency 76,364 Less Allied Health (49,477) If Approved Remaining Deficiency 26,887

Even after the completion of the current improvements and the funding of the Allied Health and Nursing building, the Larimer Campus will still have a space deficit of nearly 27,000 GSF.

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

All the Allied Health 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 10,000 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 Students. So, 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. 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. 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.

Allied Health and Nursing Building Space Total SF Notes

Health Program Space at Larimer Campus

10,507 ASF Nursing, EMS, Dental Assisting

Health Programs in Leased Space

7,883 ASF EMS, Holistic Health, Massage, Nurse Assistant, Medical Careers,

Additional Space for New Health Programs

2,326 ASF Pharmacy Technician, Clinical Lab Technician, Dental Hygienist

Total ASF 35,053 ASF

Total GSF 49,477 GSF 1.41% Grossing factor, per Appendix IV

A new building will enable FRCC to meet the space deficiency outlined in the 2012 Master Plan Update, while strengthening the technical learning and training space of the health programs.

3. Allied Health and Nursing Programs are spread over two locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, reducing program synergies and adding administrative costs. This project will consolidate Allied Health 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 medical career programs are relocated to the new Allied Health and Nursing building, the opportunity exists to bring back to campus other programs in leased space. The College leases approximately 33,000 GSF in six locations for programs that both support 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.

b. Planning Process

A planning team consisting of faculty and leadership from Allied Health and Nursing programs was assembled to work with campus leadership and consultants. The consultants included H+L Architecture and JBA 1ncorporated. This team established base programming information which was then used to create this plan. An adjacency diagram was created to demonstrate the potential for enhanced synergies among the programs. The team’s review of current program locations suggests that adjustments of space allocations and changes in program locations will support increased faculty-faculty and student-faculty interactions, more closely modeling the care-team approach to health care delivery in professional clinical settings. The team determined the facility needs required to support the programs, new technologies, and interdisciplinary pedagogies. This included amounts of space, space relationships, qualitative issues, and site issues. The 2012 Master Plan Update was continually referenced to ensure the proposed plan is in accordance with strategic objectives and other planned improvements on campus.

c. Program Descriptions Nursing

The Nursing program, approved by the Colorado Board of Nursing, prepares students for entry-level professional nursing practice as a registered nurse. Graduates are eligible for advanced placement into baccalaureate nursing programs through the Colorado Articulation Model. National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) was awarded in fall 2009.

d. Relationship to the Facilities Master Plan

The College updated its 2007 campus master plan in fall 2012. It was presented to and approved by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) in the spring 2013. The plan for a new Allied Health and Nursing facility is driven by and consistent with the Master Plan. The Master Plan Update recalculated space needs for all programs at the campus. In particular, the update indicated the Health Professions programs currently just on the Larimer campus needed at a minimum approximately 19,000 ASF, not allowing for any enrollment growth or any significant expansion of simulation space. The programs have approximately 10,000 ASF. The 19,000 sq. ft. estimate also did not take into account any new programs, or relocation of programs from leased sites. Since even meeting the 19,000 square foot need seemed daunting with limited funding and other competing needs, the construction projects proposed in the master plan focused on meeting just the most urgent needs of the programs currently on campus while realizing that a better long term solution was always critical. The Update planning process identified an equally critical need for improvements to the quality and types of space the health professions programs use. In particular, the plan noted that the pedagogies used in these programs are very dependent on experiential learning methodologies and that current space is inadequate. To meet the academic goals of the programs, proper laboratory space and equipment are crucial. The Master Plan Update also establishes a series of “academic neighborhoods” to better organize the campus. Neighborhoods promote necessary program adjacencies. Today, health programs are scattered across many areas of the campus as well as other sites in Northern Colorado, in direct contrast to the program adjacencies the master plan sought to promote.

Based on all the above factors, the master plan recommended that the health programs on campus be consolidated into one building that could provide more and better configured space and achieve synergies. The planning team recommended that a Health Professions building should be located along the northwest edge of campus to allow proper public access and close adjacency to the science building and the central academic core. Based on those principles the original master plan map (below) proposed reusing the Challenger Point building (#5 in the diagram) for a consolidated health programs center. That project was not included in the approved cash funded projects because of lack of funds. Subsequent studies of the value of consolidating off campus programs indicated that Challenger Point was not large enough to be a suitable site and that a new building would be far preferable. The new proposed building is near to the original Challenger Point proposal, maintaining the adjacencies developed in the master plan and providing greater synergies and more efficient use of space by consolidating off campus programs. An additional benefit of the new proposed facility is the opportunity to use Challenger Point and Blanca Peak (current home of several health programs) to help house other programs that are currently in leased space.

Master Plan Proposed Capital Improvements 1. Industrial Sciences (w/Maroon Peak) 2. Redcloud Peak Improvements (Arts and Administration) 3. Mount Antero Improvements (Student Services) 4. Blanca Peak Improvements (Math, Humanities and Social Sciences) 5. Challenger Point Health Programs Facility

Finally, the Master Plan Update established campus wide goals and objectives that will guide the plan and design for the proposed Allied Health and Nursing facility. Specifically, the plan calls for spaces that promote or support:

• Student centered • New learning pedagogies • A professional environment indicative of quality education • Collaborative environments that promote engagement • More efficient use of physical resources (more sustainable) • Flexibility and adaptability • Increased use of natural light • Increased learning spaces outside the classroom • A safe, secure, clean, and comfortable environment • Increased interdisciplinary opportunities • A sense of place

e. Relationship to Other Programs/Agencies

Nursing • Community Partnerships: The Nursing Program’s partnership with Poudre Valley

Hospital in Fort Collins, now part of the University of Colorado Health, began in 1967. The Nursing Program also maintains strong partnerships with Banner Health (Loveland and Greeley) which includes two hospitals where students attend clinical courses and labs. Additionally, students learn and provide care in numerous long term care facilities and facilities such as the Larimer County Detention Center, Respite Care, schools, and day-care centers.

• Economic Development: Nursing graduates find jobs at local facilities and earn higher salaries than most community college graduates.

• Universities: The program has concurrent enrollment with two BSN programs at the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Certified Nurse Aide • Community Partnerships: The program partners with nine Northern Colorado

facilities for student training, which benefits the facilities as they look for trained staff to hire.

• Economic Development: The community benefits by filling health care/C.N.A. positions, boosting the economy as expansion of beds is still occurring for elder care facilities.

• Colorado State University and other Colorado Universities: Many students use the program as a prerequisite and prep for further AS and BSN degrees. Radiology Tech and Physician Assistant programs also require patient care hours as a pre-requisite for application into their programs.

Phlebotomy

• Community Partnerships: The program partners with 12 laboratories and hospitals for student training. Approximately 30% of students are offered positions by these community partners while completing their clinicals.

• Economic Development: This certificate is one of three phlebotomy training programs at a college in Northern Colorado. One community college offers the certificate for credit, and the other site is a medical assisting program in Fort Collins that does not offer college credit.

• Colorado State University or other Colorado Universities: Many of the students take the certificate as an adjunct to their studies in radiology tech, vet tech, nursing, nurse aide, or as future medical students.

Medical Careers Exploration

• Community Partnerships: Many of the program’s graduates are hired by local long term care and rehabilitation facilities.

Page 15: Program Plan for Front Range Community College Larimer ... · Front Range Community College Larimer Campus. NEW ALLIED HEALTH and NURSING BUILDING. July 22, 2013 . ... Assistant,

Front Range Community College Program Plan for the Allied Health and Nursing Building

11

• Economic Development: Most of the program’s graduates work in Northern Colorado as a CNA to help support their college costs, providing long term health care facilities with quality employees who help keep the businesses profitable. o Colorado State University or other Colorado Universities: faculty are trained

advisors for the University Of Colorado School Of Medicine. The majority of the program’s high school graduates go on to attend FRCC or a college or university in Colorado.

Emergency Medical Services • Community Partnerships: The program works in cooperation with Poudre Valley

Fire Authority, Poudre Valley Hospital Emergency Room, Medical Center of the Rockies Emergency Room, Poudre Valley Hospital Ambulance Services, Estes Park Medical Center Emergency Room, Estes Park Ambulance Service, and the Windsor Fire Protection District. Starting summer of 2013, EMS will expand clinical sites to nursing homes.

• Economic Development: Graduates seek and obtain positions/jobs with local agencies.

• Colorado State University or other Colorado Universities: The program satisfies requirements for employment as an EMS; continuation to a four-year program is not required.

Dental Assistant

• Community Partnerships: The program is involved with Dental Connection of Fort Collins, which serves as a clearing house for individuals that need dental care but do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. The clinic at the college sees patients at a reduced rate for the first appointment and any follow up needed for that one dental complaint.

• Economic Development: Graduates are often hired at a higher salary than graduates from other dental assisting programs.

• Colorado State University or other Colorado Colleges: Articulation agreements are being approved by CNCC, CCD, and PCC to make it easier for dental assisting students to continue education in dental hygiene.

Holistic Health

• Community Partnerships: The practicum in Reflexology and Aromatherapy invites community members to participate in free sessions.

• Economic Development: Upon graduation, students can work for a wellness center, massage business, clinic, or hospital, or begin their own business.

• Colorado State University or other Colorado Universities: The associate degree has an articulation agreement with Metropolitan State University of Denver for two bachelor’s degrees: Integrative Therapeutic Practices and Health Care Management.

II. Implementation and Design Criteria

a. Spatial Relationships

The heart of the new facility is focused on the unique concept of designing the laboratories in a way that they can act as traditional academic units but double as clinical spaces. This clinical setting within the building will give access to the public from one direction and academic units from the other direction. This concept also allows the three programs to share space. It also requires a minimal amount of space to create a clinical setting (reception, meeting and small exam). The concept uses the most expensive space (laboratory space) as multi-purpose, supporting educational needs, clinical needs, and combined experiences that can only happen in a real world “simulated” setting. The following diagram shows how the concept will work.

b. Site Improvements and Analysis This project does not require real property acquisition. The Larimer Campus is located south of West Harmony Road between Starflower Drive and South Shields Street in Fort Collins. The campus comprises seven major buildings arranged around pedestrian quads, with extensive parking to the south. The two most prominent building sites are at the Harmony Road intersections at Shields Street and at Starflower Drive. The prime site for this new building and for the campus is the corner of Harmony and Shields. This signalized intersection joins two major thoroughfares in the city and includes the FRCC campus sign. A building here would provide additional prominence, as there are no other structures of significant size and scale at the other parcels adjoining the intersection.

Since the new Allied Health and Nursing Facility program includes clinic functions available to the public, visibility from major streets is advantageous. This site is also immediately north of the Harmony branch public library, the other primary building on campus which is open to the public. Pairing the two buildings most open to the public at an intersection of the two busiest streets aids visitors in finding their way to the clinic spaces.

There are several possible configurations for the exact siting of the new building at the corner of Harmony and Shields. The site is relatively level at the intersection and then gradually slopes down along both Harmony (east) and Shields (south), forming a fairly narrow “L” shaped plateau which then slopes more steeply toward the interior of the campus. The site naturally drains to the existing underground storm pipe located between Sunlight Peak and Blanca Peak. No stormwater improvements will be required. The detention pond located on the northeast portion of the site was enlarged to handle an increased volume of drainage capacity. The pond has been constructed in substantial conformance with the “Master Drainage Study for Front Range Community College Campus” dated December 1, 2010, by Interwest Consulting Group and approved by the City of Fort Collins January 13, 2011. A three-inch water tap, two-inch water meter and three-inch service line were installed on the northwest corner of the property during the construction of Sunlight Peak. The tap was installed to provide water service to Sunlight Peak as well as a future building on the northwest corner of the property.

c. Design Requirements

i. Physical Systems & Utilities Required

Civil Overview Sanitary sewer and water lines were extended to the proposed building site during the construction of Sunlight Peak. There is a temporary stormwater detention pond which is no longer needed because of the expansion of the retention pond in the northeast portion of the campus. This area can be modified for the construction.

Structural Overview The structural system for the proposed building must have a variety of unique capabilities. Among other requirements it should have: 1. Sufficient flexibility to allow for different partition configurations. 2. Sufficient mass to provide a quiet environment in large opening areas

without the dampening effects of numerous partitions. 3. Sufficient inherent lateral strength to allow for large opening areas with the

smallest amount of wall and solid elements. 4. Capability for variations in the floor plan, such as changes in bay size,

curved and radial elements, etc. 5. Mechanical equipment should be isolated from the structure to minimize

structure-borne vibrations.

The proposed structural steel system has all of the capabilities that are desired. The proposed system configuration is a composite beam and steel deck/concrete slab system that uses a combination of steel bracing and any amount of concrete core walls that may be included in the floor plan.

Allowable soil bearing pressures will be determined by a geotechnical engineering laboratory following an analysis of test borings.

Proposed Mechanical Systems The mechanical systems will meet the requirements of the facility users along with meeting the needs of the project budget, energy conservation, and building maintenance. The following systems will be incorporated:

• Supply Air Systems • Exhaust Air Systems • Cooling System • Heating System • Heat Reclaim System • Plumbing Systems (including Fire Protection) • Systems for the Dental Program including vacuum and nitrous oxide

The mechanical design will comply with the most recent FRCC Building Construction Standards, the 2009 or current International Building, Plumbing and Mechanical codes and the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association. The proposed mechanical systems will attempt to meet the very stringent safety needs of the facility’s users and visitors. The following design goals are therefore given priority:

• Reliability of systems • Ease of maintenance • Controllability and monitoring capability • Compliance with codes, guidelines and standards • Redundancy • First Cost/Operating Cost

Proposed Electrical Systems The proposed electrical systems will meet the requirements of the facilities users along with the safety needs and design goals as described in the Architectural and Mechanical Narrative. The following systems will be incorporated:

• Primary Distribution • Secondary Distribution • Emergency Distribution • Interior and Exterior Lighting • Fire Alarm System

16

Proposed Technology Systems Technology systems must support state-of-the-art education yet must be affordable to the College and supportable by technical staff. The following systems will be incorporated:

• Structured Cabling System for Voice and Video • Audio Visual Systems • Security Systems for Surveillance and Access Control

ii. Systems and Applicable Performance Criteria

Planned Green Building Goals The project will comply with the Office of the State Architect, Policies and Procedures, High Performance Certification Program (policy OSA-HPCP, updated February 2010). Sustainable design goals will be established with the owner and the design team. The Allied Health and Nursing building will incorporate strategies for LEED certification in six categories:

• Sustainable Site • Water Efficiency • Energy and Atmosphere • Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • Innovation in Design

The building will be designed and constructed with consideration to the health and productivity of building occupants.

iii. Architectural Design Features

Initial Planning Assumptions Initial discussions with the project working group resulted in the following list of assumptions and guidelines for further consideration through the concept design phases of the project. • The building will provide a flexible environment that will foster

collaboration through a design of open and interconnected spaces for casual meetings, discussions, formal classes, and labs.

• The facility will employ numerous sustainable strategies in an integrated design and provide flexibility in space configurations, and accommodate changes in technology.

• The building will be designed and sited to accommodate future expansion.

• The design will be based on human needs and ergonomics, including universal design for accessibility for disabled users.

• Design will accommodate proper balance between open/transparent and safe/secure.

• The design will encourage interaction among the faculty and students; administrators, faculty and staff; and students and the professional community by creating space to gather and build community.

• Top-tier technology for academics will ensure the best education for students. The facility will be a recruitment tool for the campus.

Vision for the New Building The facility is anticipated to be three 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.

The facility 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 change. Office Spaces The offices will be clustered together, encouraging collaborative encounters as well as providing identity within a unit or group of other faculty. Grouping offices also allows for sharing support staff and equipment such as printers and copiers. Natural day lighting should 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, 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. 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.

ii. Assessment of Existing Conditions/Program Deficiencies A new Allied Health and Nursing facility will resolve many program

deficiencies common to the various programs, including: • Insufficient lab space

o Many classrooms double as lab spaces, requiring excessive time for set-up and tear-down

• Insufficient quantity and properly sized classrooms • Lack of dedicated simulation lab space

o Programs do not have privacy curtains or beds, requiring students to close pretend curtains and use tables for beds.

o EMS training occurs in hallways, lobbies, and under stairwells o There is no lab for practicing vein punctures

• Lack of close proximity to computer labs for testing • Lack of storage for specialty equipment in close proximity to classrooms

o Equipment is often “parked” in hallways or in classrooms o Confidential records storage o Secured lab supplies

• Lack of suitable office space • Lack of sufficient space to consolidate all Health programs

o FRCC leases 7,983 SF from Thompson School District R2-J and is in the process of renewing this lease and adding 1,008 SF to ease overcrowding. Programs covered under this lease: • Certified Nurse Aide • Emergency Medical Services • Holistic Health • Medical Careers Exploration

b. Changes and Projections

i. Program Growth/Modifications

Nursing • FRCC expects stable enrollment in Nursing and Certified Nurse Aide. • On campus health care clinic run by a nurse practitioner for all students

and faculty. • To address the looming nursing shortage:

o Part-time Nursing Program o On-campus RN-BSN program o Evening Nursing Program o Accelerated Nursing Program

• Additional lab space to produce safe health care practitioners.

Page 29: Program Plan for Front Range Community College Larimer ... · Front Range Community College Larimer Campus. NEW ALLIED HEALTH and NURSING BUILDING. July 22, 2013 . ... Assistant,

Front Range Community College Program Plan for the Allied Health and Nursing Building

25

Phlebotomy • FRCC expects stable enrollment in Phlebotomy. • Students would participate in the health care clinical run by nurse

practitioners for all students and faculty. • Phlebotomists are not required to be licensed or certified in Colorado.

However, most, if not all, employers will only hire technicians who have obtained training and passed a national exam.

• Additional lab space. Medical Careers Exploration • FRCC expects stable enrollment in Medical Careers Exploration. • Interdisciplinary programs/approaches: Medical Careers Exploration

works closely with post-secondary faculty from Nursing, Nurse Aide, and EMS to keep current on new information in the field, new technology, and related federal and state health care laws and regulations.

• Program has no new programs at this time. The State Board of Nursing has talked about adding QMAP (qualified medication administration personnel) certification to the Certified Nurse Aide requirements.

• New technologies or anything else to improve quality of student experience and their education: More computer lab time.

Emergency Medical Services • Emergency Medical Services will grow to meet the demands of a

changing industry. EMS will begin Wilderness courses in summer 2013 and will offer advanced EKG courses in fall 2013.

• The program will offer Wilderness Medicine-related courses starting summer 2013.

• These courses are in high demand from agencies scattered around Colorado’s mountain counties and are very difficult to find elsewhere. The current lack of classroom and lab space is the number-one factor in not offering paramedic training courses.

Dental Assistant • Dental Assistant will see marked growth as students use this program as

a stepping stone to dental hygiene programs in Colorado and Wyoming. Articulation agreements in progress with Northwestern Community College, Community College of Denver and Pueblo Community College will broaden the awareness of this program.

• Within the next five years, the program would also like to offer a certificate/associate degree in business office assistant. This certificate would include coursework from various disciplines including; Dental Assisting, Business, Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Communications, English and Math. Numerous dental offices in Northern Colorado have requested this certificate. The program would like to offer

Front Range Community College Program Plan for the Allied Health and Nursing Building

26

a full-time public dental clinic. This clinic would serve the needs of students and community alike.

• As technology increases in dentistry, there will also be the need to increase the technology that students know. The program has purchased a phosphoric plate scanner for X-rays to go along with the digital sensors already in use. With more dental offices milling their own porcelain crowns, the need for additional computer skills will be necessary.

Holistic Health • The program is just beginning the massage therapy certificate. As the

program becomes better known it is anticipated several sections will be added.

• Holistic Health is looking into the feasibility of developing a Wellness Coaching certificate.

• The plan is to expand the Massage Therapy certificate into a degree, which would be transferrable to a four-year college for students wanting to earn a bachelor’s degree.

• Health and Wellness is not in the Allied Health curriculum, but if a new facility is built on campus, it would schedule classes into those labs to expand into Wellness Coaching.

ii. New Academic Programs

Pharmacy Technician There is no program in Northern Colorado. A proposed Pharmacy Technician Program would seek accreditation from the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP). The program would be a 29-credit certificate that consists of five-week instruction modules one semester and then two five-week experiential modules in hospital and community settings in the second semester The U.S. Department of Labor estimates a 25% increase in demand for pharmacy technicians over the next six years while the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment predicts 276 openings per year in Colorado. Clinical Lab Technician There is no program in Northern Colorado. A proposed Clinical Lab Technician Program would seek accreditation from the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP), which currently accredits FRCC’s Phlebotomy program. This two-year, four-semester program would prepare students to become professional laboratory technicians in a clinic, hospital or independent laboratory.

Front Range Community College Program Plan for the Allied Health and Nursing Building

27

Lab technicians are in demand in Colorado, with median salaries at $46,680 per year. The job growth is expected to be 15% per year. Dental Hygienist This proposed new program would be modeled after the efficient dental hygienist program at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyo. This is an accelerated, 16-month program that could use the same space as Dental Assisting.

iii. Alternatives to Project Alternatives to this project include:

• Remain in leased space in separate locations, which is not desirable for the following reasons: o Having Allied Health and Nursing programs located in facilities miles

apart hinders the ability to collaborate on training, o Off-campus leased space is not convenient for students who have

limited access to cars and have to rely on bus service. o 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.

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

o Programs in leased space are subject to relocation at the end of a lease cycle, causing further disruption to students and faculty alike.

o Significant program donations are unlikely to be realized if programs are in leased space.
