7 DISTRICT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HCC currently maintains over 1.7 million square feet of buildings on five campuses and three centers, most of which was built in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of the critical systems on the buildings, roofs, exterior envelopes, fire panels, etc. have begun to fail and need to be repaired and/or replaced to protect the students, staff and faculty that learn and work in these buildings. PECO funding for these repairs has been woefully inadequate. The Florida Department of Education currently utilizes an average per square foot cost of $270 for building replacements. Capitalizing the 1.7 million square feet at that rate results in a replacement cost of HCC s buildings at over $450,000,000. Depreciating this over 50 years would result in a yearly charge of over $9,000,000; yet in the last eight years, PECO funding has averaged only $750,000 DEFERRED MAINTENANCE COSTS: per year. HCC estimates that current deferred ROOF REPLACEMENT: $ 4,000,000 maintenance and deferred maintenance over the BUILDING ENVELOPE REPAIRS & SEALING: 2,300,000 next 10 years would total over $100,000,000. HCC s current request for $10,000,000 in deferred maintenance funding will be applied to only the most critical of facility needs to protect the health and safety of all students, staff and faculty. FIRE ALARM PANEL REPLACEMENTS: 1,100,000 ACCESS CONTROL INSTALLATION: 1,600,000 ELEVATOR REPAIRS & UPGRADES: 1,000,000 TOTAL: $10,000,000

11 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION TRAINING CENTER The state of Florida is currently home to the nation s third largest transportation, logistics and distribution sector with 47,000 new jobs created in the first quarter of Tampa Bay, with its four major highways, a seaport, railways, international airport and major trucking firms, is playing a critical role in this growth, and as a result, the occupations associated with the region s intermodal system are all currently on the state s Targeted Occupations List with most projecting double-digit employment growth over the next five years. HCC proposes to leverage its experience in building successful statewide training programs within the transportation sector for the purpose of establishing a Regional Transportation Training Center that will allow the college to expand its ability to supply the region with a highly skilled workforce. In developing programs for the region s transportation sector, HCC has taken a phased approach using industry demand as the guiding factor. In phase 1, the college partnered with regional automotive dealerships, the University of South Florida, three regional transit agencies and the Port of Tampa to create programs in automotive technologies, bus transit technology and welding. EXPANSION OF WELDING LAB: $ 475,000 DIESEL AND CNG TECHNICIAN PROGRAMS: 1,025,000 AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVERS/LIGHT RAIL PROGRAMS: 1,250,000 TOTAL PROJECT COSTS: $2,750,000

12 LAUNCHING PHASE 2 FOR THE REGION S TRANSPORTATION SECTOR Now, in response to growing demand from the trucking and people mover/light rail systems industries, the college is preparing to launch phase 2 which is the focus of this legislative item. In phase 2, the proposed center will house the college s existing transportation programs and allow for both the expansion of the welding program and the development of new programs in Diesel Transit Technology and Compressed Natural Gas Systems. In addition, the center will house the state s first Automated People Mover/Light Rail Systems training program which is being developed in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America. The program will serve the needs of Mitsubishi at TIA with the goal of eventually training workers statewide. After the successful completion of phase 2, the college anticipates moving forward with two additional programs in Sheet Metal Fabrication and Aviation Maintenance. Over the past 10 years, the college s transportation programs have been supported by a $750,000 grant from the Department of Commerce, a $600,000 grant from the Kellogg Foundation, $250,000 from JP Morgan Chase, and in-kind contributions from industry partners demonstrating the college s success with these programs.

13 SOUTHSHORE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY CENTER The facility will enhance student success by providing expansion space for admissions, registration, advising and testing, but also various multipurpose classroom spaces for potential new programs. An auditorium for community and college use will create a venue for numerous programs and events. Hillsborough County has committed $ 3 million towards the construction of the project, and HCC will be pursuing other investment/use partners. $ 3 million is needed for planning, design and engineering. BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE 47,872 SF THE BUILDING WILL CONTAIN: SouthShore Campus student services 8 multipurpose classrooms Auditorium for community and college usage New parking lot to serve the needs of the building DESIGN COSTS: $ 3,300,000 CONSTRUCTION COSTS: 20,300,000 FIXTURE / FURNITURE / EQUIPMENT: 1,400,000 TOTAL BUILDING COSTS: $25,000,000

14 Hillsborough Community College s SouthShore Campus has seen enrollment grow from 2,833 students on its opening in 2008 to 6,817 today, far outpacing initial campus growth projections. This is an increase of nearly 140 percent in just seven years. This rapid growth is continuing with a large increase in area housing starts and the opening of an adjacent 2.2 million-square-foot Amazon Fulfillment Center which is already slated for expansion. 140% ENROLLMENT INCREASE 2,833 FROM STUDENTS IN ,817 TO STUDENTS IN 2015 To adequately serve this inundation of new students, the campus has more than doubled the number of advising and financial aid staff. Existing space is already inadequate to hold these functions. The testing and student activity functions, in addition to several academic classrooms, are currently housed in portable buildings to provide relief to the overstressed campus facilities. Advising and financial aid functions are also at capacity. A new educational community center would allow essential student support functions to move into permanent spaces to meet the needs of the fastest growing area of Hillsborough County. It will enhance student success by providing suitable space for admissions, registration, advising, testing and a new career resource center. The additional space will also provide support services for the existing enrollment and future growth surrounding the campus focus on STEM programming. The building will expand space for new program development as the current student services area will be converted to academic classrooms. The college corporate training office is also working with Amazon and other regional businesses to create training opportunities on the campus. The current entrance road was built for less than half of the current student population and shares feeder roads with a growing high school and a newly constructed elementary school. A new entry to the campus and an additional parking lot will be created to help relieve safety and circulation concerns. The new entrance will provide emergency entrance and egress onto two separate thoroughfares. The development of the new building will allow the college to expand its existing relationship with Amazon, the growing health care industry, area businesses and Hillsborough County. This building s auditorium and multipurpose classrooms will help provide the community with large meeting rooms for group events and training. Seeing the need for community involvement, Hillsborough County has committed $3 million towards this project. SOUTHSHORE CAMPUS th Street NE, Ruskin, FL hccfl.edu
