Vision
The Educational Case identifies projected student demand and outlines the methodology for curriculum delivery to address this demand all in the context of current government initiatives.
The Strategic team consists of consultants from a number of different disciplines the extent of which is determined by both the scope and complexity of the property strategy or feasibility study and also the in-house capability and/or resource availability.
The curriculum model lists the college’s current course provision, identifying number of students and total number of current onsite daytime guided learning hours (GLH). This forms the base GLH which should concur with the ILR records held by the LSC. The model is then used to project growth for existing courses, consider the demise of potentially redundant courses and inclusion of any new provision.
The space requirements generated from the Guided Learning Hours are used to produce a college Space Budget, which can be broken down into four elements.
The space utilisation analysis demonstrates how the college utilises their current accommodation and which spaces are under or over utilised.
Summary of the educational case, curriculum model, space utilisation and space model forms a vision which subsequently informs the next phase of the feasibility study where options generation and masterplanning takes place
