2 Regional Context The Tennessee College of Applied Memphis is located in Local Workforce Investment Area 13, which includes Shelby and Fayette Counties. This region contains nearly one million residents and 445,531 primary jobs. Between 2010 and 2020, population in the region is expected to grow at less than half the rate of the state as a whole. This indicates that job growth may also be moderate. Worker age profiles mirror those for the state as a whole, but the percentage of higher paying jobs is above the state average. Educational attainment in the region is higher than in Tennessee as a whole. Compared to the statewide average, 5% more residents have completed a four-year or higher degree program. About 2.5% more have completed a high school degree or equivalent. 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: wholesale trade; transportation & warehousing; and administration & support, waste management & remediation.

5 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, the following programs are predicted to have an excellent job outlook in the region: Animal Lab, Computer Information, Health Information, Machine Tool, Practical Nursing, and Truck Driving. The following programs are expected to have very good or favorable job prospects: Auto Body/ Collision Repair, Automotive, Business Systems, Diesel, Industrial Maintenance, Masonry, and Welding. 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. Some of these graduates and job openings, however, may be related to four-year programs and not affect the demand for those with certificates or the Associate s degrees into which some TCAT students articulate. These programs are: Barbering, Building Construction, CAD, Cosmetology, Dental Assistant, Electronics, HVACR, and Pharmacy Technician.

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. 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. The Aviation, Barbering, Computer Information, and Cosmetology programs are offered during the evening as well as during the day. The Animal Lab program, the only one of its kind in the state, is expected to have steady enrollment in the next five years. Demand for graduates from the Auto Body/Collision Repair program is expected to remain constant in the next five years. Significant increase in the demand for Automotive graduates is expected. Interest in this program is consistently high. The Aviation Maintenance program is expected to experience an increase in demand for graduates due to strong industry demand and existing workers nearing retirement age. 312 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis

7 The Avionics program, the only one of its kind in the state, is expected to experience a significant increase in demand for graduates Enrollment in the Barbering program is expected to increase during the next five years as demand remains strong. Interest in this program is consistently high. What one word would you use to describe students first impression of the campus and facilities? Demand for graduates of the Building Construction program is expected to begin to increase as the construction sector emerges from the recession. The Business Systems program is expected to experience an increase in demand as the new curriculum is implemented statewide and the job sector remains strong. Enrollment in the Drafting and CAD is expected to remain constant during the next five years as the industry remains steady. Demand for graduates of the Computer Information program is expected to increase slightly in the coming years. Interest in this program is consistently high. What one word would you use to describe what the college could become in the future? The Cosmetology program is expected to add enrollment in the next five years as demand remains strong in this industry. Interest in this program is consistently high. Enrollment in the Dental Assistant program is expected to grow slightly in the next five years as demand for graduates remains strong. The Dental Laboratory is also expected to grow slightly in the next five years. There are few programs like this in the state. Demand for graduates of the Diesel program is expected to increase as relevant sectors of the regional economy expand. The Electronics program, which includes Industrial Maintenance and Industrial Electricity students, is expected to increase its enrollment in the next five years as local industry expands. Demand for the Graphic Design program is expected to remain stable, without significant growth in the next five years. The wordles above are based on responses to the online survey The Health Information program is expected to increase in enrollment as changes in the health care industry bolster demand. Strong job growth is expected to lead to an increase in demand for graduates of the HVACR program over the next five years. Interest in this program remains consistently high. The Machine Tool program is expected to show some increase in enrollment as manufacturing jobs in the region increase. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis 313

8 Enrollment in the Masonry program is expected to remain constant in the next five years. The Pharmacy Technician program is expected to increase in enrollment as this job sector remains strong. Interest in this program is consistently high. Demand for graduates of the Practical Nursing (LPN) program is expected to increase significantly as workers reach retirement age and the health care industry continues to change. Interest in this program is consistently high. The Truck Driving program is expected to decrease in enrollment in the next five years due to competition from private schools. The Welding program is expected to increase in the next five years due to both a regional shortage of workers and industry growth. Potential Future Progr ams The TCAT Memphis main campus hopes to add a logistics program in the near future. Demand in this industry is extremely strong in the region. 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 Memphis that meet these industries needs: medical records tech, personal and home care, psychiatric tech and aids, plumbing, agribusiness and operations, nursing assistants and home health, and warehousing & distribution center operations. Local industry leaders and/or the campus identified the potential for a logistics/heavy equipment operations and sonogram/x-ray technician program. The addition of a composites component to the Aviation Maintenance program was also discussed.

9 Space Needs The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Memphis 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 previous 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. All numbers include both the airport and the main campus. As shown in the chart at right, the model shows that existing faculty office space is adequate. Faculty surveys confirmed this fact, although offices for some programs are too small, and the lack of private offices to meet with students is an issue for some programs. The model also shows a significant surplus of administrative office space. This is likely because the model does not fully account for support space such as storage and conference rooms. For this reason, and based on discussions with the campus, the surplus of administrative office space is likely not as significant as shown, but there may be a possibility for more efficient use of space. The chart at center right compares four existing types of space with modeled space needs in those categories. Open computer lab space, which includes space for Foundations, testing, and open computer labs, shows a need for slightly more space. The model shows a significant existing surplus of food service space. This category includes student lunch rooms or lounges, vending machine areas, and the like. This number is likely high because of the large former cafeteria space, which has potential to be partially converted to other uses.

The model indicates a significant need for more space on the TCAT Memphis campus. This space may be especially important on an urban campus for its role in marketing to the regional community. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis 315

10 Central service and storage space does not include storage and service space for individual programs or for offices. It includes storage for campus-wide supplies, maintenance and janitorial supplies, surplus equipment, vehicle storage, and the like. The model shows that this type of space is currently adequate. The chart below 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. The following paragraphs summarize each program s space needs, based on the results of the model, interviews with faculty and administrators, and online survey responses. The Animal Lab program is the only program of its kind in the state and so is not in the model. The campus did not indicate the need for any additional lab space. There is currently no classroom space for this program.

The campus confirmed the need for more space, including space for tool storage and paint mixing. Teaching space for the Automotive program would need to expand by between approximately 1,400 and 2,500 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment according to the model. There are currently five active bays. The campus indicated the need for more bays and more space for equipment. The amount of teaching space for the Aviation Maintenance program is adequate according to the campus, although additional space to teach composites is desired. The Avionics program could benefit from more lab space and dedicated classroom space, according to the campus. Among other things, additional space would prevent students from having to double up on computers. Barbering lab space is currently not adequate according to the campus and should be expanded. space is adequate for the current enrollment. The Building Construction program shows a need for more than double the amount of indoor lab space that currently exists. The campus confirmed this need. This program shares lab space with the Masonry program. Some activities currently occur outside (weather permitting) because indoor space is too small. The amount of classroom space is currently adequate. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis 317

CAD lab space is significantly more than adequate according to the model, due to currently low enrollment. There is no existing classroom space for this program, as is typical for other CAD programs in the TCAT system. Teaching space for the Computer Information would need to expand by up to 946 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment according to the model. The campus confirmed this need. The Cosmetology program would need to expand its teaching space by between approximately 1,400 and 2,000 square feet to be adequate according to the model. The campus confirmed the need for more space. Teaching space for the Dental Assistant program needs to expand by between approximately 900 and 1,500 square feet according to the model, a need confirmed by the campus. According to the campus, the amount of lab space for the Dental Laboratory program is currently not adequate. The existing space is difficult to use because it is divided into several rooms. 318 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis

13 The campus indicated the need for additional teaching space for the Diesel program. The space model calculations for the Electronics program, which also count enrollment from the Industrial Maintenance program, show a need for between approximately 1,900 and 2,600 square feet of additional teaching space. The amount of Graphic Design teaching space is more than adequate for current enrollment according to the campus and the model. The model and the campus indicate a need for additional lab space for the Health Information program. There is no existing classroom space for this program, and none is assumed to be needed by the model. Teaching space for the HVACR program would need to expand by between approximately 900 and 2,600 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment according to the model. The campus confirmed this need. Additional space would allow a building automation program to be added. The Machine Tool program needs to expand its teaching space by between 1,300 and 2,200 square feet according to the model. The campus confirmed that more space is needed today and would be needed to accommodate machinery that is being acquired. There is also a need for more classroom space. Lab space for the Masonry program, which is shared with the Building Construction, needs to increase significantly according to the campus to be adequate for current enrollment. According to the space model, the Pharmacy Technician program would need to at least double to adequately serve existing enrollment. The campus confirmed this need. The amount of teaching space for the Practical Nursing program is currently within the acceptable range according to the model and the campus. There is a desire to increase enrollment in this program in the future, which would require more space. The Truck Driving program does not need indoor lab space and so is not addressed by the model, although existing classroom space is shown as more than adequate. The campus expressed that the amount of existing teaching space is adequate. Most programs have significant needs for more lab space The amount of teaching space for the Welding is at the low end of the acceptable range according to the model. The campus indicated the need for additional space. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis 319

14 Space Recommendations The following recommendations offer a potential set of solutions to address the space needs identified above. Many of the changes reflect migrations that make use of currently vacant space as shown in the diagrams on the following pages; others are based on the construction of new buildings or additions that allow programs to expand. These expansions would also involve backfilling of space vacated by programs that move into the proposed buildings. The proposed migrations, renovations, and new construction will provide space for those programs with the highest needs. A new building will provide high bay space, while other improvements will address the needs of allied health and other programs. The Cosmetology program should expand to take over the existing Barbering lab and classroom. The Barbering program should be relocated into a portion the existing cafeteria and former kitchen, which should be renovated and preserve dining space. The former print shop (Administration Building room 123) should be renovated for use by the Health Information program. This room is nearly twice as large as the current HIT space. The Business Systems program could then expand to take over the existing HIT space. Room 111 in the Education building is currently used for storage and should be renovated to accommodate the proposed Logistics program. Room 212 in the Education building is currently not used and should be converted to a classroom for the Pharmacy Tech program. This would allow their existing lab to expand into their existing classroom space. Room 208 in the Education building is currently not in use. It should be converted to faculty offices so that the existing faculty offices in rooms can be converted to teaching space for the dental programs. The south side of the third floor of this building, as well as rooms on the north side, should be renovate to remove existing partitions and increase the efficiency of space for both dental programs. An addition to the Administration Building should be constructed to fill in its southeastern corner. This rooms should be used as Foundations space. The Electronics program could then expand to fill the existing Foundations space on the second floor of the Education Building. The Automotive, Diesel, and Welding programs should be relocated to a new building. The existing Automotive space should be backfilled by expanding the Auto Body/ Collision Repair program. The existing Diesel space should be backfilled by expanded the Masonry program (allowing the Building Construction exclusive use of their existing space, with a renovated upstairs classroom). The existing Welding space should be backfilled with an expansion of the Machine Tool program. The Truck Driving classroom should be relocated to the proposed building. The HVACR program should expand to backfill the existing Truck Driving classroom. In the long term, an Allied Health Building should be constructed to accommodate the Dental Assistant, Dental Laboratory, Practical Nursing, and/or Pharmacy Technician programs. Backfill uses for these programs existing spaces would need to be identified. Space should be identified somewhere on campus for a flexible room that could be used for meeting space, continuing education/industrial training, or potential future programs. While an expansion is not needed on the Aviation Campus at this time, additional restrooms should be provided. 320 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Master Plan: Memphis

While it is beyond the scope of this Master Plan to identify a site for a potential new campus, the lower than average participation rate within the region suggests the potential for additional enrollment. Most of the existing TCAT students come from southern and western Shelby County, but there are significant amounts of population in central Shelby County that are potentially not being served. A leased facility could allow for an incremental approach to expansion. The potential need for technical education at a scale below the region is very difficult to estimate. Reliable workforce data are also not available below the scale of the region, so determining which programs should be taught at that campus would be based on the strength of programs at the existing site, as well as the discretion of the campus. 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: In the Administration Building there were a number of stained ceiling tiles, and some fire escape doors had been chained shut. Cast iron drain-waste-vent piping in the Administration Building is rusting. The original variable air volume system is aging and difficult to maintain, along with the boiler and pumps. The electrical system is also not adequate for current loads. The exterior walls of the Educational Building: were in poor condition. There was also cracking in the floor and walls noted on the upper stories. Cast iron and galvanized piping and drain lines in the Education Building are rusted and clogging.

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 Main Campus, there is currently a deficit of 76 parking spaces.
