5 I. FACILITY MASTER PLAN PROCESS FOR DEVELOPMENT 1. Background After passage of a local general obligation bond and more recently a state bond measure, Cosumnes River College will be allocated approximately $103,000,000 over the next 15 years to fund facility projects. These projects will include modernization of existing facilities as well as construction of new facilities, including the construction of a new center in the area of Elk Grove. To facilitate the effective use of these funds, Cosumnes River College undertook the task of developing a Facilities Master plan. Development of the Facilities Master Plan was accomplished though a series of collaborative workshops, campus wide forums, meetings and other forms of communication between the CRC Health and Facilities Committee, the architectural firm of Murray & Downs AIA, the CRC managers and their respective faculty and staff, as well as the facilities planning unit from the District Office. The Facilities Master Plan is intended to be a living document, which will provide a flexible framework to guide planning of the college construction projects until the year It s important to differentiate between a Facility Master Plan, a Detailed Facilities Plan, and actual building designs. The primary goal of the Facilities Master Plan is to identify where future buildings should be sited, which current facilities should be modernized, which should be demolished, and the placement of future roadways, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways. The Facilities Master Plan should also provide the sequencing and timelines for projects as well as the general architectural standards that should be incorporated in all projects. The primary goal of a Detailed Facilities Plan is to identify specifically which departments will be housed within new construction and what secondary effects will follow the primary moves. The primary goal of the building designs is to ensure the program needs of future occupants are met and that the aesthetic goals of the campus are maintained. The Facilities Master Plan is driven by things such as instructional growth projections, general growth needs of the non-instructional departments, campus utility layouts, capacity/load ratios, and other parameters provided by the facilities planning unit at the State Chancellors Office as well as our own District office. As such, the Facilities Master Plan does not specifically address program requirements within each project. It is expected that this aspect of facility planning will occur at the detailed programming phase associated with each individual project. The primary goals of the Facilities Master Plan are: Identify long term facility needs Identify future projects to address the program needs, including modernization and expansion projects

6 Identify projects to address vehicular and pedestrian needs Identify future project locations Prioritize identified projects and provide a schedule for construction Identify design guidelines for future projects 2. Process The following is intended to identify the process used by Cosumnes River College to gather the input that was used to guide and inform the Facility Master Plan. The basic premise used in the master planning process was to facilitate as much communication, input, and review as possible and to ensure the best possible master plan as possible as well as ensure buy-in from all college constituents. 2.1 Step One The Health and Facilities Planning Committee sent a memo to the entire campus that outlined the Facility Master Planning process and timelines as developed. The memo requested that all faculty, staff and administrators provide input to the Health and Facilities Planning Committee with regard to facility needs and interests relative to their programs and services. The memo was also provided to student groups to ensure their input was also incorporated. The goal of this part of the process was to ensure a wide spread education of the college community with regard to the planning process and to ensure a vehicle for the broadest possible input. 2.2 Step Two A campus-wide forum was conducted at a campus flex day to discuss and share information about the Facility Master Planning process as well as input that had been received by Health and Facilities Planning Committee. The goal of this portion of the process was to ensure all constituents continued to be well informed, engaged in the process and to provide a further vehicle for input Step Three Presentations were made to the Academic Senate, the Classified Senate, and the management council with regard to the progress that was being made on various interests and proposals that were being put forward to the planning committee. The goal of these presentations was to provide a further venue for input and review into the progress being made on the Facilities Master Plan. The presentations were well received and provided input that the planning process was moving in an appropriate manner with proper direction Step Four Input that was gathered from the various forums, presentations and other meetings was reviewed by the Health and Facilities Committee and incorporated into the planning process. The goal of this part of the process was to ensure that the input that came from all presentations, forums and meetings was reviewed and incorporated into the planning considerations.

7 2.5 Step Five In a series of meetings between the architects, the district facility planning director, and the college vice presidents, the identified projects in the Facilities Master Plan were prioritized. This process was informed by campus needs, capacity/load ratios, potential secondary effects, and project feasibility criteria. Another primary driver of the project prioritization process was the fundability of each project. While some projects are eligible to receive state funding, others will be supplemented or entirely funded from local bond measures. One goal of this portion of the process was to ensure that the college maximized its leverage of projects with respect to receiving as much state funding as possible. The college site was then analyzed to determine possible future project locations and a facility analysis was conducted to identify future modernization projects. The prioritized project list was then superimposed on the site plan to generate a comprehensive master plan. A full color rendering of the campus site is provide in the Facilities Master Plan to graphically show all projects that will occur over the period covered by this plan. In conjunction with the master planning process, the architects developed design guidelines to set a standard for future projects and to ensure continuity in design, architectural expression and site planning that maintains the character of the existing campus. As part of the design guidelines, various building sites on the campus were analyzed and rejected or found to be acceptable as possible future building sites. A hierarchy of open space based on its importance to the overall character to the existing campus was established in order to clearly identify boundaries and setbacks for future projects. 2.6 Step Six After many iterations and changes, a draft of the Facilities Master Plan was reviewed by the Health and Facilities Planning Committee. The committee was asked for final changes and input before finalization was complete. The goal of this part of the process was to take one final look at the master plan before a final rollout to the campus community. 2.7 Step Seven A campus wide forum was held to provide for further discussion and input to the master plan prior to finalization. The draft Facilities Master Plan was presented at this forum, where the entire campus was invited to attend. 2.8 Step Nine The Health and Facilities Planning Committee provided the college president with a recommendation regarding the final master plan. The campus president subsequently approved the recommendation.

11 2. Projects in Detail Project 1: Child Development Center (complete in 2002) (11,348 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project was to meet the growing need for increased capacity of childcare slots on the campus for student parents. A secondary goal was to provide an improved site that could handle increased enrollment in the Early Childhood Education program. This facility would provide increased practicum placements in the child care center. Additional faculty offices colocated in the center would also better serve the ECE students. Description: The new facility for the Child Development Center was completed in March 2002 and increased the college capacity to 108 children. The project provided for 11,348 assignable square footage of childcare and instructional space that has greatly improved the offerings of the college. Project 2: Faculty Office Building (complete in 2003) (8,000 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project was to provide for more faculty offices at the college. Prior to this project, there were faculty being housed and co-located in less than desirable locations. Without this building, even the less than desirable locations would have been in short supply. This project has allowed to college to provide its faculty with a modern, bright, professional environment in which to work. Description: The new faculty office building, named the Southeast Office Complex, was completed in the December of The building provides 48 faculty offices, administrative offices for two deans as well as support staff. Also included in the building is a faculty workroom and a much needed conference room.

12 Project 3: Bookstore/Cafeteria Addition Phase 1 (2005) (2,800 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project is to address the issue of a bookstore that was too small. Given the size of the current bookstore, during peak periods, students actually have to line up outside to wait their turn to buy their books. The other goal of the expansion would be to enable the bookstore to expand the offerings to things other than just books. The ability to buy college clothing and other items is something that the students have been asking for and will certainly enjoy. Description: The expansion of the bookstore will provide an additional 2,800 square feet of retail space in the bookstore. This will essentially double the current bookstore. With very high ceilings and huge skylights, this project will provide a modern retail feel on the inside while preserving the academic feel of the current architecture on the exterior of the building. Project 4: Learning Resources Center (2005) (30,635 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary objectives of this project are to provide additional instructional space as well as to improve the space provided for many of our instructional services. This project will provide a new Reading/Writing Center, a Tutorial Center, a Math Center, an Assessment and Testing Center, a Journalism Lab, an Anthropology Lab, two large theatre style seating classrooms, a number or instructional classrooms, and faculty offices. Some of the aforementioned operations will move from the current Library building into this new facility, resulting in vacated space in the Library building. As a secondary effect of this project, the newly vacated space in the Library building will be used to consolidate programs in the Library building to provide them with better access. Description: This project will be a two-story building sited directly east of the Library building. It will be approximately 30,635 square feet and will provide a huge increase in instructional space for the campus. This will be the third multi-story building constructed at the college.

13 Project 5: Science Building Modernization (2006) (18,971 ASF) Modernization Goals and Objectives: This project will improve the college s ability to serve students by improving the safety and enhancing the working environment for students and staff. This is due to the anticipated improvement in the ventilation system in the building, the improvement in the number and quality of the hoods in the labs and the installation of electronic gas shut-off valves. The project will also enhance the overall learning environment in the labs. This is due to the anticipated replacement of existing lab stations and cabinets and the creation of improved storage capabilities in the rooms and the stockrooms. The project will also aid with improving the departments ability to meet the needs of wheelchair bound students and staff in our science programs. This is due to the creation of accessible lab stations for both students and staff. Also improved, will be the ability to integrate technology into science lectures and labs. This is due to the addition and improvement of the technology infrastructure to the labs and lecture spaces, storage space, as well as the ability to upgrade current computer systems. Improving the quality of several programs (MESA, Biology, Natural Science, Geology, Geography) will be another benefit of this project. This is due to the anticipated construction of secure storage space in a way that increases student and instructor access to materials and improves the functionality of the existing space. Description: This project will involve the modernization of mechanical, electrical, heating and ventilating systems, and a host of other internal building systems to bring it up to the level it should be. The project will also address aesthetic as well as other operational needs that will provide for an improved teaching and learning environment. Project 6: Transportation, Access and Parking Phase 1 (2005) (144) Parking Stalls Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to improve vehicular access and egress to and from the campus. Currently there are two main entrances onto the campus: off Center Parkway and off Bruceville Road. Both of these entrances can be quite congested at times due to not having traffic signals. The project will add a third entrance that will help ease the congestion on the other two.

14 Description: This project will add a third entrance off Calvine Road (south of campus) that will be a mirror image of the other two that currently exist. If budget permits, this project will also include the development of further parking to the west of the new entrance to accommodate the ever-increasing growth at the college. Project 7 Police / Printing / Nurse Office Modernization (2006) (7,813 ASF) Modernization Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to provide adequate facilities for the Police, Printing, and Nurses office. All three of these operations are currently housed in very old portable buildings that do not fully meet their needs. This will also aid in the goal of removing portable structures that tend to be high in maintenance and aesthetically inferior. Description This project will involve the elimination of portable structures, which will then be replaced by a new building that will house all three of these operations. The new structure will be located very near to their current location, which will be directly north of the new Learning Resources Center. Project 8 Science Building Addition (2008) (15,801 ASF) Goals and Objectives This expansion will improve the college s ability to serve students by increasing access to science classes. This is due to the fact that the expansion project will provide for an increase in the number of science lab sections that are offered by over 125%. It will also provide greater flexibility for scheduling. This will help meet the current and anticipated demand for science classes some of which currently close within days of the start of registration. This project will improve the quality of instruction in many of the science classes due to the fact that the college will be able to move existing lab sections to rooms that are constructed explicitly for that instructional purpose, are in close proximity to the supporting stockrooms and have storage and cabinets that provide security and quick access to instructional

15 materials. The project will also have the benefit of increasing the size of stockrooms, which will enhance the instructional resources available. This project will help facilitate student access to faculty offices hours and tutoring support due to the fact that the expansion will increase the number of office spaces that are in close proximity to the laboratories and instructional materials. The project will also increase the size of the division office and workroom, which will greatly aid the efficient running of the division. Description: The project will provide for an additional 15,801 square feet, which will almost double the size of the current facility. The expansion will take place on all sides of the current structure while still maintaining an appropriate set back for open space. Project 9 Community and Athletic Center Phase 2 (2007) (9,588 ASF) Goals and Objectives This project will complete second floor of the Community and Athletic Center. The project will provide for an appropriate Fitness and Conditioning Center. The project will allow for spectator capacity to reach approximately It will complete the concessions area to provide for fund raising opportunities. It will complete the equipment and laundry room. The project will also allow for the housing of all full time faculty and head coaches in their own office space. It will complete the ticket office for major events. It will provide for an elevator so that access to the second level will be available. It will also provide for campus meeting space that is in short supply. All of the above will expand the physical education program, accommodate a highly competitive athletic program, allow for the expansion of summer programs and increase the quality of community events hosted in the facility. Description: This phase of construction will open up the second floor of this facility and provide for an additional 9,588 square feet of instructional and office space.

16 Project 10 Elk Grove Center Phase 1 (2009) (15,200 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The Elk Grove Center is intended to serve the growing community toward the south of the college as a site where general education / transfer courses and some selected occupational courses that do not require specialized facilities can be completed, with the student moving to the main college site to complete programs that require more specialized facilities. The first phase of this development will create a learning environment where students will have both classroom and lab space (9000 ASF) and appropriate learning support areas in a learning resource center that will serve the initial implementation of the center (2000 ASF). With specific educational planning for the Center at its early stages, the lab space is designed to be as flexible as possible so that it can be used to support a variety of instructional purposes as the Center responds to the educational needs of the community. Description: This project would provide for a newly created off campus center. The exact location that this facility will be located has not yet been fully determined, but it is expected to be south of the college, somewhere in the vicinity of Elk Grove. This project will be the first of three phases that will complete the center. This phase will provide for 15,200 square feet of instructional and support space. Project 11 Bookstore / Cafeteria Addition Phase 2 (2010) (5,960 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will to increase the size of the cafeteria so that it can accommodate the student population. In addition this, the project will provide for public meeting space, and increase in the lab space dedicated to the Culinary Arts Program, as well as providing space to remodel the servery area of the cafeteria itself. Description: This project will expand the current College Center to the west of the current structure to provide for an additional 5,960 square feet of useable space for the college. The expansion will ensure consistency with the current architecture of the building and ensure it ties into the current theme of the building and campus.

17 Project 12 New Instructional Building Phase 1 (2008) (20,370 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The initial phase of the New Instructional Building will serve CRC students by increasing the capacity of the college to serve both transfer students and some important occupational programs. Despite the current downturn in demand for computer classes, the long-term outlook for this area is strong enough to warrant an increase in laboratory space for that program (2400 sq. ft.); however, if growth in this area does not meet expectations, the flexible nature of the CIS laboratory space will allow it to be converted easily to serve other kinds of programs. This flexibility is also true of the lab space dedicated to other kinds of labs (7000 sq. ft.); the non-specialized nature of this space will allow it to be adapted to meet growth in areas that do not require wet lab support. The increase to the photography laboratory space (2000 sq. ft.) will address the strict limitations on growth imposed by the current limited laboratory space. The increase (970 sq. ft.) in math/statistics laboratory space will allow more effective support for instruction in this important area, and the increase in lecture space (4000 sq. ft. will support increases in general education and transfer areas like the social sciences, English and mathematics. Description: This project, which will be located northeast of the Learning Resources Center, will provide for an additional 20,370 square feet of instructional and support space. This structure. This will likely be a single story structure and will be designed in such a way as to tie into the architecture of the surrounding buildings and campus. Project 13 North East Campus Modernization (2009) (4,650 ASF) New and (26,732 ASF) Modernized Goals and Objectives: This will be a very large and diverse project with the primary goal of modernizing the many of the facilities located in the northeast area of the campus. This area, currently houses many operational departments such as receiving, warehouse, custodial services, and campus maintenance. It also houses many areas such as the Ford Center, the Welding program, the Veterinary Program, the Agriculture program, and the Construction program. With the exception of the Veterinary program, the other programs listed need their facilities modernized to enable them to maximize their ability to deliver

18 quality programs and services. A secondary goal of this project, in addition to project 14, would be to bring this section of the campus into the main fold. Currently this part of campus is called the back 40, which is a reference to the remoteness of the area. This project and project 14 are expected to develop this area of campus such that it becomes viewed as part of the main campus. Description: This project will involve the modernization of both the Ford Center and the Welding facility. The facilities used by the Agriculture program, the Construction program, custodial services, campus maintenance, and receiving, will be torn down and replaced with new structures. This project will add 4,650 ASF of new space and will modernize 26,732 ASF of existing space. Project 14 Transportation, Access and Parking Phase 2 (2007) (262) Parking Stalls Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to develop more of the planned parking spaces that will be needed by students, as well as providing vehicular and pedestrian access to the northeast section of the campus. The project will provide additional parking stalls for both students and staff along the south end of campus as well as the northeast side of campus. This project will greatly improve the parking associated with the northeast section of campus, that primarily has gravel parking at the current time. Description: The project will involve the paving and lighting of a section of undeveloped parking along the south side of the campus as well as the northeast side of campus. The project will also provide an access road and sidewalk for vehicular and pedestrian traffic between the main area of campus and the northeast area of campus.

19 Project 15 Portables 42 through 48 Modernization (2010) (4,700 ASF) Modernization Goals and Objectives: As one of it s overarching goals, the campus is trying to eliminate portable structures whenever possible. Some of these structures are over twenty years old, well past their expected lifecycles. This project would improve the aesthetics of the campus as well as move programs into appropriate structures more suited to their operations. Description: This project would involve the elimination of numerous portable structures and replace them with permanent ones. This project would involve a combined 4,700 ASF of modernization. Project 16 New Instructional Building Phase 2 (2011) (5,900 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project would be to provide additional instructional space for the Allied Health program, the EMT program, and general lecture space. With an ever-increasing demand for graduates from these programs, the increased space is necessary to provide an appropriate educational experience for students. Description: This project would be an addition to the construction of project number twelve, earlier referenced. It would provide for 3,000 ASF of lab space, 1,200 ASF of lecture space, and 1,400 ASF of faculty office space. Project 17 Elk Grove Center Phase 2 (2012) (15,140 ASF) Goals and Objectives: As stated above, the Elk Grove Center is intended to serve the growing community toward the south of the college as a site where general education / transfer courses and some selected career / occupational courses that do not require specialized facilities can be completed close to where the students live. The

20 second phase of this development will create an enhancement to the first phase in lecture space (1,280 ASF) and lab space (7,800 ASF) and in learning support areas (4,600 ASF including offices). Consistent with the current design guidelines of the center, the lab space, as in the first phase, is designed to be as flexible as possible so that it can be used to support a variety of instructional purposes as the Center responds to the educational needs of the community. This flexibility will allow growth in the transfer / general education and career / occupational classes that this center will feature. Description: This project will be the second phase of the Elk Grove Center and will be an addition to the phase one construction project. The project will provide for an additional 15,140 of instructional and support space to further the mission of the center operation. Project 18 Automotive Technology Expansion (2013) (6,950 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to provide increased laboratory space to the current facility to meet ever-increasing student demand. This project will provide increased lab space as well as appropriate storage to support the rapidly growing automotive program. A large new tool room, with an office for the automotive technician, will be located between the automotive laboratories. The former tool room will be converted to component storage. Description: This project will be an addition to the current automotive building. It will provide for an additional 5,000 ASF in laboratory space, 750 ASF in lecture space, 600 ASF in office space, and 600 ASF in operational space. Project 19 Transportation, Access and Parking Phase 3 (2012) (139) Parking Stalls Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to develop more of the planned parking spaces that will be needed by students. The project will provide additional parking stalls for both students and staff along the south end of campus.

21 Description: The project will involve the paving and lighting of a section of undeveloped parking along the south side of the campus, west of the new Calvine Road entrance. Project 20 Interior Library Expansion (2013) (2,000 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The expansion of the library Mezzanine floor, given the existing supportive structure, is an efficient and cost-effective way to add growth space to the CRC library. The 2,000 square foot expansion will provide the CRC library with four reservable rooms for group study. Currently there are no study rooms available for student group work. The remaining floor space would be used for needed student seating and an expansion of the book stacks to accommodate the library collection. Description: This project will involve extending the 2 nd floor of the library over an area of mezzanine that resides above book stacks. It is felt that this expansion will not only provide a more aesthetically pleasing environment, it will also help to reduce noise and provide necessary increased library space within the confines of its current envelope. This project will provide an additional 2,000 ASF of instructional support space. Project 21 Elk Grove Center Phase 3 (2014) (13,740 ASF) Goals and Objectives: This third and final phase of the Elk Grove Center is intended to bring the Center to it maximum planned size. The additions to laboratory space (7,800 ASF), lecture space (1,280 SF), learning resource center space and office space (4,660 ASF), and office space (2,660 ASF) will allow the center to reach its maximum planned size. These enhancements will assist students in the area near the Center to complete significant elements of their general education / transfer requirements and some selected career programs before coming to the main site of the college to complete more specialized career/occupational courses or other courses that require specialized facilities.

22 Description: This project will be the third and final phase of the Elk Grove Center and will be an addition to the phase one and two construction projects. The project will provide for an additional 13,740 of instructional and support space to further the mission of the center operation. Project 22 College Center Expansion (2015) (5,000 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to provide for additional campus office space. By the year 2015 there will be a severe shortage of administrative office space in the college center and this expansion will serve to meet that need. Description: This project will be an expansion of the current facility and will be constructed on the north side of the current building. The project will provide for an additional 4,000 ASF of office space and 1,000 ASF of operational space to meet the needs of the future. Project 23 Bookstore / Cafeteria Addition Phase 3 (2014) (4,560 ASF) Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to ensure the college bookstore can keep up with student demand. Given the projected student population at this point in time, the bookstore will need to grow in order to serve its customers. Description: The expansion of the bookstore will provide an additional 4,560 ASF of retail space. This project will be constructed to the east of the current structure and will provide for very necessary expansion at that time.

23 Project 24 Transportation, Access and Parking Phase 4 (2015) (180) Parking Stalls Goals and Objectives: The primary goal of this project will be to develop more of the planned parking spaces that will be needed by students. The project will provide additional parking stalls for both students and staff along the south end of campus. Description: The project will involve the paving and lighting of a section of undeveloped parking along the south side of the campus, east of the new Calvine Road entrance.

31 III. DESIGN GUIDELINES

32 III. DESIGN GUIDELINES 1. Introduction The Los Rios Community College District is a two-year public college district serving the greater Sacramento region. The district currently includes American River College, Cosumnes River College, Sacramento City College, and Folsom Lake College. The district also has major centers in Davis, West Sacramento, downtown Sacramento, Natomas and Rancho Cordova. In addition, the district also offers special services for business and industry. This Facility Master Plan is focused exclusively on Cosumnes River College, which has provided quality education since The college is located at 8401 Center Parkway, Sacramento CA Purpose The main purpose of the Facility Master Plan is to coordinate the guide and inform the facilities construction program at the college to ensure the needs of all programs and services are met to the fullest extent possible. The other purpose of the plan is to inform college constituents with respect to facility development so that they can plan accordingly. The Facility Master Plan illustrates the size and types of spaces that are needed along with funding and timing information.

33 3. Design Review All proposed projects should be reviewed for conformance with the parameters established in this master plan document. Variances from such shall be documented and if found acceptable they shall be added to this document as an addendum. Any deviation from the design guidelines as established in this document shall be accompanied by a graphic and/or written explanation as to the justification for this deviation for future reference. It is important that the college codify all major deviations so that there exists a dynamic history of progression.

36 5. Setting The Cosumnes River College campus covers approximately 156 acres in the area between Cosumnes River Boulevard to the north, Calvine Road to the south, Bruceville Road to the east and Center Parkway to the west. The campus is surrounded on three sides by student and staff parking located at the same elevation as the surrounding streets; the actual campus (building pads and pedestrian circulation) are on an elevated plane separating it from the neighborhood and clearly stating the higher purpose of the facilities. This upper level containing the majority of buildings and pedestrian circulation is referred to as the Upper Deck for the purpose of this document. The Upper deck is organized in a grid pattern with four major circulation elements terminating at the center of the campus at the Library building. With its plane elevated even higher than the upper deck, this building can be seen from almost any point within the campus and serves as reference point for way finding. A large open green space with a water feature to the immediate south of the Library building helps to define the structure and is used as open air gathering space for students and faculty and staff. 6. Site Design Guidelines 6.1 Parking Guidelines The purpose of the Circulation and Parking Guidelines is to provide for safety and efficiency in the on-site circulation and parking areas. The guidelines address pedestrian, service and emergency vehicles as well as student and staff vehicles. 6.2 Parking Expansion The street level parking areas on three sides of the current campus allow for some expansion. Growth projections indicate a need for 1,650 new parking stalls in the fifteen year time period covered under this master plan. The existing parking lots currently provide 2,318 parking stalls with enough room to add approx. 1,013 parking stalls in future expansions. The area of the current Community Bowl could potentially yield additional on-site parking once the large berms around the

37 playfield are exported or moved. Future parking expansions should maintain the same layout pattern as established by the original architect. The small five foot berm that separates the college parking lots from street traffic is an important treatment to continue as it provides for a much more picturesque view of the campus for vehicular traffic driving past the college. Careful consideration shall be given to the potential conflicts of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. 6.3 Vehicle Traffic Circulation Vehicle access is provided from entrance roads off Center Parkway and Bruceville Road. An additional entrance is planned on the south side of the campus off Calvine road. The new entrance will greatly improve the access to the campus. On-site vehicle circulation appears to be sufficiently sized and routed for current traffic loads with the exception of service access around the Community and Athletic Center and the access to playing fields, and the northeast area of the college. 6.4 Regional Transit Regional Transit is currently in the process of planning a light rail station along Bruceville Road that will terminate at the college entrance. If this occurs, it will necessitate a major pedestrian circulation element from that station to the college. Such a circulation element should be free of conflict with any vehicle traffic and should be constructed large enough to handle the projected pedestrian flow.

38 6.4 Pedestrian Circulation The grid patterned circulation concept allows for efficient pedestrian circulation between buildings. Deviations from the grid pattern for pedestrian circulation are acceptable and encouraged. With the exception of the northeast section of the campus, all buildings are well interconnected without adding further hardscape. Increased vehicular and pedestrian access should be added to incorporate the northeast section of the college with the main campus. The main circulation elements (axis) originating in the parking lots and terminating at the library in the center of the campus are of adequate width in their paving section as well as their associated green space (open space). (Figure E). 6.5 Open Space The campus layout currently presents a beautiful park-like feel that contributes considerably to the atmosphere. In order to preserve this important feature, it is necessary to spend adequate time in the study of the space between buildings.

39 6.5.1 Primary Open Space Primary open space is defined as large open areas that need to preserved and free of building construction. The student gathering area adjacent to the Library Building is considered to be primary open space. (Figure B) Secondary Open Space Secondary open space is defined as space that needs to be preserved to maintain certain vistas for general way-finding on campus and to preserve the open atmosphere on campus. The three main axis leading from the parking lots to the Library building are considered to be secondary open space and should be preserved and free from building construction. Total building setback from the centerline of the main pedestrian circulation element should be 45' at a minimum.

40

41 6.5.3 Other Open Space Other open space is defined as open space that can t be categorized as primary or secondary open space. The space between buildings is equally important to the architectural expression as the actual building. The preservation of open space is the key to the maintenance of the open feel on the current campus and the quality of such open space becomes vitally important as the campus grows and open space is lost. This guideline seeks to establish minimal building separations based on the height of any two structures as they relate to each other. Building separations should be as follows: One Story Buildings 40'-0" Min. Two Story Buildings 60'-0" Min. Three + Story Buildings 80'-0" Min. 7. Architectural Guidelines 7.1 General Guidelines The upper deck appears large enough to meet building additions and new buildings as projected for the time period covered by this plan. Building additions as well as new buildings should be sited to maintain the open feel of the campus. Space between buildings should be viewed as important as actual building mass.

42 The existing buildings are humanly scaled with horizontal bands of concrete and vertical support elements of brick or brick veneer. Large glazing areas provide relief to the long horizontal elevations. Newer additions have replaced some of the brick elements of the original buildings with cement plaster and substituted the horizontal concrete bands with metal fascia panels. The brick wing walls in some of the newer designs have been replaced with round concrete columns (Sono tubes). Future building proportions as well as other design elements should be in conformance with existing architectural expression. All buildings or building additions should appear as an integrated part of an overall design concept. 7.2 Building Additions A number of buildings at Cosumnes River College are designed with a system of open corridors that connect building elements under the same roof. This layout can make it challenging to add square footage in an efficient and cost effective manner. If additional square footage in a specific facility is needed, careful consideration shall be given to the consolidation of educational programs and building mass. 7.3 New Buildings Future expansions of Cosumnes River College should be consolidated as much as possible to avoid the loss of open space and to maintain the park-like atmosphere on campus. 7.4 Building Materials To ensure continuity of design at Cosumnes River College, there should be a unit of allowable basic building materials. Allowable basic materials should be limited to the following: Glass Poured-in-place concrete or pre-cast concrete Brick / Brick Veneer Pre-finished metal panel Cement Plaster

43 7.5 Mechanical Equipment Mechanical equipment shall be housed in designated mechanical rooms. Roof mounted mechanical equipment shall be avoided wherever possible. If mechanical equipment must be roof mounted, it shall be adequately screened from view. Mechanical screens may consist of any architecturally suitable material conforming to the design of the building. 7.6 Fire Sprinklers Fire sprinkler riser shall be located inside exterior walls 8. Landscape Guidelines 8.1 General Concept The existing campus possesses a park-like character, with the landscaped grounds creating a spacious setting for the buildings and pathways. The existing landscaping is kept simple with large grassy areas, trees and few planters. The campus is pedestrian oriented with a system of walkways and open spaces integrating the academic core. Landscaping at Cosumnes River College serves a number of key purposes that help to establish the character of the campus. Climate Control The placement of appropriate trees and groundcover can help to moderate the extremes of temperature that are characteristic the Sacramento Valley Screening Trees may be used to screen the less attractive, utilitarian features of the individual buildings. Setting and Visual Amenity Landscaping provides a setting for the buildings and helps to establish the parklike atmosphere of the campus

44 Common and Visual Elements The use of uniform trees and other landscape materials on campus provides an identity and continuity that establishes a sense of place and order for the entire campus. Outdoor Space Landscaping may provide a setting for outdoor activities such as lunch breaks, recreation, informal meetings and relaxation Establish Orientation Landscaping may be effectively used to guide motorists and pedestrians through a project site. Signage is obviously the primary method of providing direction, but the location, size, color and spacing of landscaping can also provide subtle direction to individuals. On-Site Drainage On-site drainage may be integrally designed with the landscaping to provide a visually aesthetic and potentially less costly alternative to conventional underground drainage systems. Positive drainage shall be provided throughout the entire system 8.2 Future Character The future character or "built" environment of the campus relies on several key planning assumptions: Campus view corridors will be maintained, developed and enhanced. Cosumnes River College's park-like character will be preserved and a strong "unique" place will be created. The open feeling of the campus and the lush feel of the present campus core will be maintained while increasing the density of development. A pedestrian oriented environment will be maintained / enhanced and vehicular traffic through campus will continue to be minimized. 8.3 Plant Materials In order to ensure a consistent landscape character plant material shall be selected to match the existing landscape material. All planting is encouraged to be installed using appropriate soil amendment and subsurface drainage to ensure an adequate growing environment.

45 8.4 Irrigation All landscape areas shall be fully irrigated with an automatically controlled underground irrigation system. The system shall be valved separately to allow irrigation of turf, trees, shrubs and groundcover etc. per their particular water requirements. The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent overflow into pedestrian walks and vehicle driveways or parking areas and drip irrigations systems are encouraged. No irrigation nozzles shall be installed on risers next to walks, street and or pavement. Irrigation heads in these locations shall be high-pop models only installed less than 1" above finish grade Landscape Furniture Landscape furniture on the campus currently consists of trash receptacles, ashtrays and a variety of benches and tables.

46 Landscape furniture shall continue to be subordinate in appearance and size to all other elements such as landscaping and other design elements. Landscape furniture shall be selected for its durability and its fit into the overall design scheme of the existing campus. 9.0 Lighting Design Guidelines 9.1 General Concept The purpose of the Lighting Guidelines is to provide for safe, functional, visually attractive and coordinated lighting system. The guidelines apply to the two areas of illumination: parking lots and campus lighting. Lighting standard and fixture standardization is encouraged to help establish design continuity. Lights are not to cause glare or excessive light spillage. All light are to be concealed source fixtures except for pedestrian-oriented accent lights. Fixtures should be selected on the basis of their compatibility with existing fixtures and materials. 9.2 Parking Lot Lighting All parking lot and driveway lighting levels are to meet Uniform Building Code standards. Parking lot and entry driveway fixtures shall be cut-off type, metal halide or highpressure sodium, aluminum, extrusion luminaries, twenty foot mounting height, single or double luminaire configuration on square pole with round concrete base. Luminaire and pole shall have an anodized finish to match existing parking lot fixtures.

47 9.2 Campus Lighting Pedestrian areas such as courtyards, patios and entryways shall articulate the building design scheme and achieve lighting levels to meet the uniform building code. Lighting fixtures are to cut-off type overhead or bollard and metal halide or mercury vapor variety. Point-to-point lighting within pedestrian walkway areas is acceptable with no specific illumination levels required. The main emphasis in this zone should be to clearly identify the pedestrian walkway and direction of travel. Walkway and outdoor use area light fixtures should be a maximum of twelve feet high and shall be located at exterior steps, along walkways, walk endings and sitting areas. Bollard style lighting may also be used in close proximity to buildings. 10. Sign Guidelines 10.1 Purpose The purpose of the sign guidelines is to establish prescriptive and performance guidelines for a coordinated graphic system within the Cosumnes River College campus that provides for building identification and information communication in a distinctive and cohesive manner. The signage guidelines apply to four separate categories of signage: 1. Identification Signage 2. Information / Directory Signage 3. Vehicular Control Signage 4. Temporary Signage

48 10.2 Directional Signage Directional signage at the parking lot level guiding the pedestrian to the various facilities shall match the existing signage found on campus. If the college does move to another style at some point in the future, all signs should be changed to ensure consistency. It should be a metal sign of black typography and white background. The use of reflective material for typography and directional arrows is recommended Building Identification Signage Building identification signage shall be a metal sign of white typography and blue background. The college will be repainting the blue background on all these signs to more properly match the school colors. The larger typography shall identify the facility, the smaller typography shall identify the room numbers and possibly the departments housed in the facility.
