I – Introduction
The Educational Plant Survey process is required by Florida Statutes of all public educational entities. For the State University System it is a requirement that at a minimum of every five (5) years, each university report on the use of its existing facilities and project its future facility needs five (5) years out. This projection must be based on an examination of data on its existing facilities and a projection of future needs based on anticipated university growth1 (The procedures, as approved by the Board of Governors, are included as Appendix A).

Definitions and Requirements for Educational Plant Survey
An Educational Plant Survey is defined in s. 1013.01(8), Florida Statutes, as a systematic study of present educational and ancillary plants and the determination of future needs to provide an appropriate educational program and services for each student based on projected capital outlay FTE's approved by Florida Board of Governors. The term "Educational plant" is defined in s. 1013.01(7), F. S., as those areas comprised of the educational facilities, site, and site improvements necessary to accommodate students, faculty, administrators, staff, and the activities of the educational program of each plant. The term "Ancillary plant" is defined in s. 1013.01(1), F. S., as an area comprised of the building, site, and site improvements necessary to provide such facilities as vehicle maintenance, warehouses, maintenance, or administrative buildings necessary to provide support services to an educational program. A Survey is required at least every five years pursuant to s. 1013.31(1) F.S. In addition, s. 1013.64(4)(a), F.S., requires that each remodeling and renovation project included in the Board of Governors 3-year PECO Project Priority List be recommended in a Survey and, that the educational specifications for new construction be approved by the Board of Governors before appearing in the first year of this list. PECO (Public Education Capital Outlay) Funds are the primary source available to universities for academic and support facilities. By definition, as found in Section 1013.01(16), Florida Statutes, a PECO Funded Project is any “site acquisition, renovation, remodeling, construction project, or site improvement funded through this source of revenue and all buildings, equipment, other structures, and special educational use areas that are built, installed, or established to serve the primary educational instructional program of…the university board of trustees.”
Surveys may be amended if conditions warrant a change in the construction program. Each revised Educational Plant Survey and each new Educational Plant Survey supersedes previous Surveys. This report may be amended, if conditions warrant, at the request of the board [of Trustees] (s. 1013.31(1) (a), F. S.). Recommendations contained in a Survey Report are null and void when a new Survey is completed.

Overview of the Educational Plant Survey

The Purpose of The Educational Plant Survey
The purpose of a survey is to aid in the formulation of five-year plans to house the educational program and student population, faculty, staff, and auxiliary and ancillary services of the campus. Specific recommendations are provided to assist in the facilities planning process. The survey should be considered as one element in the overall facilities planning process, which begins with the master planning process, includes the capital improvement element of the master plan for the long-term physical development of the university, the shorter-term five-year capital improvement program, and the development of specific building programs before submitting a request for funding. An overview of the Master Plan for the Main Campus can be found in Appendix A.
Types of Facilities Addressed in The Survey
The following ten categories of space have been identified as those needed to meet educational program requirements: Classroom, Teaching Laboratory, Research Laboratory, Study, Instructional Media, Auditorium/Exhibit, Teaching Gymnasium, Student Academic Support, Office/Computer and Campus Support Services. These categories are included within the nationally recognized space classification, as identified within the Postsecondary Educational Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, dated May, 2006. The need for merchandising facilities, residential facilities, and special-purpose non-credit facilities such as demonstration schools, continuing education centers, or dedicated intercollegiate athletic facilities are not addressed in this report. An evaluation of facilities needs associated with these activities would require a separate analysis of demand measures and program requirements.

The Survey Process
The survey process is comprised of two main components: the facilities inventory validation component and the needs assessment component. The fieldwork portion of the processes is carried out by a survey team, which is directed by the Survey Leader from one of the University’s Sister Institutions. Other survey team members include a professional architect from the Florida Board of Education and professional staff from other universities. A Survey Facilitator is assigned by the subject university to facilitate logistics, collection of data for inventory validation, development of the survey workbook used by the survey team, ordination of university activities, and final preparation and publication of this document. Significant preparation is necessary before each of the two survey components are carried out. Table 1 identifies the main Survey activities and lead responsibilities for each activity.

The Facilities Inventory Validation
The Purpose of Validation
The main purpose of the validation component is to ensure that the facilities inventory data used in the subsequent space needs assessment component fairly presents the Sistine facilities available to support educational programs.
Sampling Technique
The validation component of Survey is accomplished by a sampling technique. The sample of buildings and rooms is selected from the Physical Facilities Space Inventory file, a mainframe-based inventory system that contains data about sites, buildings, and rooms. Annually, changes in the File are reconciled to specific project activity. The buildings selected for validation include all buildings constructed since the last survey, all buildings affected by major renovation or remodeling, all buildings the University desires to change the designated condition to a satisfactory or unsatisfactory status, and additional buildings necessary to achieve a reasonable representation of all space categories. An analysis of past legislative appropriations is conducted to ensure that all the buildings affected by major renovation are included. Table 2 identifies the buildings included in the sample for validation. Facilities inventory reports with room detail schematic for plans were prepared to aid the Survey Team as they inspect rooms within the selected buildings.
Functions of Survey Team During Validation
The main function of the Team is to compare existing conditions, identified by viewing the space, with the reported inventory data. Identification of condition changes, variance in room sizes, and proper room use or space category classifications are the objective of the Team. A list of variances is prepared and used to update facilities inventory. If significant classification errors are detected, a complete inventory validation is scheduled. There were no significant variances identified during this validation process.

The Resulting Adjusted Inventory Data
The resulting inventory file, with any required adjustments, enables preparation of reports used in the needs assessment portion of the Survey. Summary reports of building and net assignable space information are included Section VIII of this report.

The Space Needs Assessment

Objective

The objective of the Survey Team during space needs assessment component is to develop specific project recommendations consistent with approved programs in the Campus Master Plan. The space needs assessment activity includes an evaluation of the following elements:




  • Projects proposed by the University

  • The results of applying a quantitative space needs model

  • Any special justification presented by the University.

University officials provide supporting information to the proposed projects, the results of the quantitative space needs model, and any special justifications to the Survey Team in the form of a Survey Workbook and presentations by university officials.
