Expansion Planning

The Applied Programs Division is "fast-tracking" plans to extend services
in Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.

he Division of Applied
le Programs is moving ahead on

schedule with the development
of extended educational services into
Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.
Development to date has included
the identification of a set of working
principles and assumptions along
with companion criteria which form
a decision-making framework for con-
sidering the future campus location
of teaching units.

The Division’s Coquitlam Campus
Planning Group (CCPG) has been
very busy through 1990 and 1991
preparing this detail which cul-
minated in a major submission to the
President’s Commission.

In response to the Ministry’s July
1991 request of the College to accept
up to 800 FTE in expansion for Sep-
tember, 1992 (with areas of
expansion to be identified by Oc-
tober, 1991), the Division adopted a
"fast-track" approach based upon ex-
isting three-year operations plans and

 

program inventories. In this mode,
members of the CCPG worked with
their respective DEC’s, setting Com
mittee work aside in the interest of
time. The arrangement worked
speedily and in a generally satisfac-
tory manner.

At present, the Division has iden-
tified a general schema for
programming from 1991 through
2006 for the College’s "Masterplan"
submission to the Ministry. The
divisional plan is relatively straight
forward and concrete for the 1991-
1998 period, being derived from the
current three-year plan and program
inventories, and conceptual there-
after through 2006. This work is
being reviewed by respective DEC’s.

The Division has identified the
areas of expansion for Maple Ricge
This programming originally involved
175 FTE allocated to Commerce and
Business Administration with 76 FTE
available for September, 1992. At the
time of writing, reconsideration by
