2 Between 2010 and 2020, population in the region is expected to grow slightly slower than the state as a whole. This indicates that job growth rates may be similar. Worker age and salary profiles are similar to those for the state as a whole. Educational attainment in the region lags slightly behind Tennessee as a whole. Compared to the statewide average, 5% fewer residents of the region have only a high school degree or equivalent, and 7% fewer have a Bachelor s degree or more. According to the U.S. Census, the following industry sectors occupy a significantly higher percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: agriculture, forestry, fishing, & hunting; manufacturing; and professional, scientific, & technical services. The following industry sectors occupy a significantly lower percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: transportation & warehousing; information; finance & insurance; and real estate & rental & leasing. The regional employment outlook by industry cluster shown on page 414 comes from the Occupational Trends in Tennessee Employment Report (OTTER) from the Tennessee Department of Labor. All data are shown for Local Workforce Investment Area 4, which includes Oneida. According to this data, all industry demand clusters related to programs taught at TCAT Oneida are expected to grow between 2012 and The job outlook in all industry clusters takes into consideration the following factors: Population LWIA 4 Tennessee 2000 Population 434,650 5,689, Population 486,379 6,346, Population (projected) Annual Growth (projected) 518,700 6,894, % 0.8% Source: U.S. Census, Tennessee State Data Center Employment by Age and Salary (2011) LWIA 4 Tennessee Total Primary Jobs 154,089 2,478,765 Jobs held by those age 29 and younger Jobs held by those age 30 to 54 Jobs held by those age 55 and older Jobs with salary of $15,000 or less Jobs with salary of $15,000 to $40,000 Jobs with salary of $40,000 or higher Source: U.S. Census On The Map 21% 23% 57% 57% 22% 20% 21% 22% 41% 42% 38% 37% 2012 Educational Attainment (Percent of Population Age 25+) Bachelor s Degree or Higher Some College/ Associates Degree Bachelor s Degree or Higher Some College/ Associates Degree Growth rate in the industry cluster relative to the statewide growth rate for that industry cluster Number of annual job openings Supply demand ratio (the ratio of graduates of programs in all related higher education programs to the number of job openings) Based on these factors, there are no programs that are predicted to have an excellent or very good job outlook in the region. A number of programs are expected to have a more competitive job market, in part due to the higher number of graduates in these fields relative to the number of anticipated job openings.

In order to obtain a more detailed picture of the needs of each program, the master planning team interviewed the TCAT Director, members of the Business and Industry Advisory Group, and key faculty. The region s projected population and job growth, combined with low educational attainment and lower than average wages, are evidence of a continued need for technical education. In addition, all faculty were invited to participate in an online survey. The following paragraphs summarize the results of the input received by these methods for each program. Enrollment in the Auto Body/Collision Repair program is expected to increase in the next five years, in part due to more people in the region returning to school. Enrollment in the Electronics Technology is expected to remain constant in the near future. There are plans to convert this program to an Industrial Maintenance program. Demand for graduates of the Practical Nursing (LPN) program is expected to increase in the coming years, in part due to the reopening of the local hospital. Potential Future Progr ams Local industry leaders and/or the campus identified the potential for a health information technology program and a linemen program. Based on data from the Tennessee Department of Labor, the following industries have excellent or very good job outlooks, but there are not currently any programs at TCAT Oneida that meet these industries needs: turf grass/nursery; horticulture; pharmacy assisting; nursing assistants & home health; personal & home care; plumbing; HVACR; veterinary technology; truck, bus, rail, water transportation & heavy equipment; and warehousing & distribution center operations.

5 Space Needs The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Oneida in order to obtain the most up-to-date room inventory. Room areas and use codes were updated as needed; a list of updates was provided to the campus. Numbers from the updated space audit, combined with adjusted FTE enrollment data provided by the Tennessee Board of Regents central office (see table on following page) and employee counts provided by the campus, served as the inputs for the space model that calculated needed space. For details regarding the model and an explanation of its methodology, see Appendix A. Office Space Needs Net Square Feet Administrative Office Space Other Space Needs Existing space Modeled space needs Faculty Office Space As shown in the chart at right, the model shows a need for additional faculty office space, based on employee numbers provided by the campus. This is due to the fact that existing offices are smaller than standard and the fact that there is no faculty office support space (storage, conference room, etc.). No administrative employees were reported for this campus, so the model shows a surplus of administrative office space. The administrative offices on this campus are leased to the local career center. The chart at center right compares four existing types of space with modeled space needs in those categories. The open computer lab category includes space for Technology Foundations, testing, and open computer labs. The model shows a surplus of this type of space based on current enrollment. There is currently no food service space on this campus, so the model shows a need. This category includes student lunch rooms or lounges, vending machine areas, and the like. Meeting space includes space available for community use, staff meetings, and large gatherings of students. The model shows a significant surplus of this type of space due to the large community room and low enrollment. This space is important for its role in marketing to the regional community.

It includes storage for campus-wide supplies, maintenance and janitorial supplies, surplus equipment, vehicle storage, and the like. The model Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Oneida 415

6 shows that there is a significant surplus of this type of space. The chart on the following page shows the model s calculated needs for teaching space for each program. Teaching space is the sum of classroom and lab (also referred to as shop) space, as well as any storage or other space that directly supports teaching space. Bars that extend to the right in the chart indicate a need for more space, while bars that extend to the left show a surplus of existing space. Where the bars show both surplus and need, the amount of existing space is within the acceptable range. Because the model assumes a range of acceptable space, the darker blue bars show the minimum amount of space needed and the lighter blue bars show the maximum amount of space needed. All calculations are based on existing enrollment rather than capacity, so modeled needs would increase with enrollment. Adjusted FTE enrollment numbers include dual enrollment high school students.

7 Space Recommendations No significant space needs were identified on the TCAT Oneida campus. The amount of teaching space for all programs is significantly more than adequate. If additional space is desired in the future, there are a number of spaces into which existing or future programs could expand. Due to the low enrollment and very low utilization at this site, the consolidation of programs with those at nearby campuses such as TCAT Huntsville should be considered. Facilities Needs A comprehensive facilities needs assessment was conducted by architectural and engineering representatives of the master planning team. The detailed results and comments of that assessment have been documented in the online Physical Facilities Survey. The primary needs are as follows: Foundation and wall settling in the Oneida Shop Classroom building has created significant and widespread block and brick cracks. Painting and patching of exterior holes is needed in the Oneida Admin Classroom building. Code required backflow preventers were not observed in the Oneida Admin Classroom building. The through-the-wall HVAC units in one classroom and one office in the Oneida Shop Classroom building should be replaced with standard HVAC systems. In several locations in the in the Oneida Shop Classroom building, gas fired unit heaters have been removed and flues remain open to the space. These should be removed or sealed weather tight. A number of spaces exist that could serve expanded enrollment or future new programs Site Needs No significant site needs were identified during the walk-through. Parking lot and driveway pavement is in good condition with only minor cracking. Some asphalt curbs are broken. Some erosion is occurring in the ditch at the east edge of campus. Sidewalks are in need of some repairs. Exterior lighting is poor. According to parking ratio assumptions developed as part of this Master Plan, and based on the existing number of students, faculty, administrators, and staff on the Oneida Campus, the number of parking spaces on campus is currently more than adequate. There are no recommendations for property acquisition adjacent to TCAT Oneida. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Oneida 417
