Regional Context The Tennessee College of Applied Technology Knoxville is located in Local Workforce Investment Area 3, which is solely for Knox County. In 2010, this area contained 432,538 residents and 216,413 primary jobs. This area does not include all counties where TCAT Knoxville grads find job placements; a majority of graduates are placed in Knox County, but 24% find jobs in Anderson or Blount Counties. Between 2010 and 2020, population in the Local Workforce Investment Area is expected to increase by 1.2% annually, a rate that is 50% higher than the projected statewide average. This indicates a favorable climate for job growth. Worker age and salary profiles mirror those for the state as a whole. Educational attainment in this area is significantly higher than the Tennessee average. Nearly 50% more residents have earned a Bachelor s Degree or more compared to the state average, and the percentage of residents without a high school degree is two thirds of the state average. 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; retail trade; information; professional, scientific, & technical services; management of companies & enterprises; administration & support, waste management & remediation; educational services; health care & social assistance; and other services (excluding public administration). The following industry sectors occupy a significantly lower percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: manufacturing; transportation & warehousing; and public administration.

The job outlook is strong, but technical educational is needed to help train workers for existing and future opportunities. Based on these factors, Auto Body/Collision Repair, Business Systems Technology, Health Information Technology, Industrial Electricity, Medical Assistant, Nursing Assistant, and Truck Driving are expected to have an excellent job outlook in the region. The following programs are expected to have very good or favorable job outlooks: Automotive Technology, Dental Assistant, HVACR, Industrial Maintenance, and Surgical Technology. Diesel Technology and Practical Nursing are expected to have more competitive prospects, in part due to the higher number of graduates in these fields relative to Practical Nursing are expected to be the fastest growing industries with related TCAT programs. The job outlook in these industry clusters takes into consideration the following factors: 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) Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville 241

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 matriculate. Progr am Analysis The regional context on the previous pages shows broader trends in the county. In order to obtain a more detailed picture of the needs of each program, the master planning team interviewed the TCAT Interim Director, Assistant 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. There are currently no evening programs. Demand for graduates of the Auto Body/Collision Repair and the Automotive Technology programs is expected to increase over the next five years, especially as existing employees in this field retire. Enrollment in the Business Systems Technology program is expected to grow in the next five years due to curriculum changes and industry demand. 242 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville

Interest in this program remains consistently high. What one word would you use to describe students first impression of the campus and facilities? Potential Future Progr ams 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 Knoxville that meet these industries needs: veterinary technology, emergency medical technician, medical and clinical laboratory technicians, plumbing, and pharmacy assisting. Local industry leaders and/or the campus identified the potential for an online version of the existing Business Systems Technology program. The potential for the following future programs was also discussed: medical and clinical laboratory technicians, other medical technicians, patient care technicians, pipefitting, plumbing, and masonry. What one word would you use to describe what the college could become in the future? Finally, as more space is available on the campus, the potential for more dual enrollment students should be explored. South Doyle High School, located near the campus, is already planning diesel, cosmetology, and welding programs. Alcoa High School, located south of the campus, has added industrial electricity and industrial maintenance. The wordles above are based on responses to the online survey Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville 245

Space Needs The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Knoxville 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. As shown in the chart at right, the model shows that existing office space for both administrators and faculty is more than adequate according to the model and based on employee data provided by the campus. This may be due in part to the fact that the model does not fully account for office support space such as storage and conference rooms. Some faculty indicated in surveys that the size of their office space was inadequate. 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 Technology Foundations, testing, and open computer labs, shows a need for nearly double the space, although no needs were expressed by the campus. 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. The campus indicated the contrary that there is a need for additional food service space on campus. Meeting space includes space available for community use, staff meetings, and large gatherings of students. The model indicates the need for more space of this type on the TCAT Knoxville campus. This space is especially important for its role in marketing to the regional community.

The chart above 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. 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. Teaching space for the Auto Body/Collision Repair program would need to increase by between approximately 1,700 and 3,100 square feet to be adequate according to the model. The campus indicated that the amount of existing space is adequate. (The classroom for this program is shared with the Industrial Maintenance program.) There is a need for between approximately 900 and 1,900 more square feet of teaching space for the Automotive Technology program according to the model.

(there are currently three active bays). If enrollment in this program increases as anticipated, even more space will quickly be needed. The Business Systems Technology program needs a small amount of additional lab space according to the model. The campus indicated that the quantity of current space is adequate. The model assumes that no classroom space is needed for this program. There is a small need for additional teaching space for the Computer Information Technology program. The campus indicated that the amount of existing space is adequate. Cosmetology teaching space would need to increase by between approximately 1,200 and 1,800 square feet to be adequate according to the model. The campus indicated that space needs were not extreme. The Dental Assistant program needs between approximately 200 and 600 more square feet of teaching space according to the model. The campus indicated that more space is needed for the Diesel Technology program, in part because they teach on live vehicles and need more space than campuses that teach on stand-alone engines. This program is not in the model. According to the campus, the amount of existing Medical Office Information Technology program teaching space is adequate. According to the model, the HVACR program needs between approximately 500 and 1,900 square feet more teaching space to accommodate current enrollment. The campus indicated that both lab and classroom space would need to double to meet existing needs. Teaching space for the Industrial Electricity program would need to increase by between approximately 1,300 and 4,500 square feet to meet current needs, according to the model. The existing quantity of Industrial Maintenance lab space is at the low end of the acceptable range according to both the model and the campus. There is, however, a significant need for additional classroom space. The model shows a need for additional teaching space for the Machine Tool Technology program. the campus indicated that the quantity of existing space is adequate. Desired future equipment might increase space needs.

The model shows a surplus of existing classroom space. There is a significant surplus of teaching space for the Nursing Assistant program based on the existing small enrollment. Practical Nursing would need to increase its teaching space by between approximately 6,000 and 9,500 square feet to meet the needs shown by the model. This need was confirmed by the campus. The amount of Surgical Technology space is vastly inadequate according to the model. In fact, TCAT Knoxville has less surgical technology lab space per student than any other campus in the state. However, the campus indicated that the size of their current space is adequate. The model shows a small surplus of classroom space. Needs for Truck Driving lab space are not shown in the model, since all lab space is outdoors, but the campus indicated that the quantity of existing space Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville 249

is acceptable. The model shows a small surplus of classroom space. According to the model, Welding Technology teaching space should increase by between approximately 900 and 1,700 square feet to serve current enrollment. The campus indicated that more space could allow for safer circulation. There is a small surplus of classroom space, but this could become a need if enrollment increased. A number of programs have significant needs for more lab space 250 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville

Space Recommendations Several programs on the TCAT Knoxville campus need more space, but the lack of available options for reconfiguration or migration in most cases makes expansion difficult. The following paragraphs put forth a scheme for expanding and repurposing space that meets the most immediate needs. The truck driving program should be relocated off the Main Campus, potentially to Pellissippi State s Strawberry Plains campus or to the rear of the property owned by Knox County just across Division Street. The existing outdoor truck driving area should be converted at least partially to student parking. Given site constraints on the Main Campus, space must be found elsewhere to accommodate new programs and provide space for those existing programs that need it. It is beyond the scope of this Master Plan to determine the location of a new site, but it is recommended that it accommodate space for the Dental Assistant and Cosmetology programs, as well as Technology Foundations space. Space now dedicated to these three uses on the Main Campus should be added to the Practical Nursing program to allow an expansion of that space. The new site should also include flexible space for a future program or continuing education/industry training. Room 111 in the Shop Building should be converted from maintenance space to lab space for the proposed pipe-fitting program. Additional maintenance and campus wide storage/ service space should be provided in an additional building on the Main Campus. The space dedicated to the existing Industrial Electricity program in the Shop Building (rooms 116-128) is currently divided into a number of small rooms. Non-load bearing walls should be removed to combine this space and increase efficiency. Additional space should be explored in the long term for the expansion of this program. Given that the Automotive Technology program needs additional space and the Diesel Technology program has a surplus of space, the wall between the two programs should be moved north to add an additional bay to the Automotive program. Additional space at a new site could accommodate the dental and cosmetology programs, as well as include technology foundations and other space. This would allow nursing to expand in the existing building. A dedicated Auto Body/Collision Repair classroom should be created within the existing lab space, given that lab space is currently adequate, but there is a need for more classroom space. The existing classroom would remain for exclusive use by the Industrial Maintenance program. Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville 251

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: Additional security cameras should be installed on campus to enhance security. The installation of a key card entry system should also be considered. The existing air handling unit in the Administration Building is reaching the end of its useful life. Some existing variable air volume boxes also have minor controls issues. Excess heat is an issue in the communications closet of the Administration Building. In the shop building, several split systems have reached or passed the end of their useful life. Restrooms in the Truck Driving Building do not appear to meet health codes for the toilet stall and lavatory. Lighting in the Truck Driving Building labs appears to be inadequate and lamps on the fixtures are unprotected. The exterior enclosure in the Administration Building needs multiple minor repairs. The plumbing and fire protection systems in the Truck Driving Building are in substandard condition. Site Needs The existing courtyard is a valuable outdoor gathering space that should be preserved Potential Future Campus Location ROANE ANDERSON LOUDON TCAT Knoxville UNION KNOX BLOUNT GRAINGER JEFFERSON SEVIER Due to constraints to expansion on the Main Campus, a new site should be identified for expansion, potentially in the red circle shown to better serve growing industries in adjacent counties In addition to the proposed migrations shown above, a few other site improvements are recommended as follows. The existing courtyard is a valuable outdoor gathering space that should be preserved. Two small properties east of the existing billboard along Interstate 40 should be acquired to expand existing parking. Improved landscaping and signage should be created along Interstate 40 to signal the presence of the campus to passersby and provide a better first impression. According to parking ratio assumptions developed as part of this Master Plan, and based on the existing 256 Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology Master Plan: Knoxville

number of students, faculty, administrators, and staff on campus, there is currently a deficit of 120 parking spaces. This deficit one of the highest of any TCAT campus, even though it includes the assumption that a small percentage of students bike or ride the bus to campus. The actual deficit is likely even greater, given that existing parking is shared with Pellissippi State Community College.
