County Higher Education Center (CCHEC) offers a wide
variety of creative educational opportunities associated
with adult basic education, vocational and industrial
training, and health education. These educational
programs were supported by various administrative
functions and
supporting student services. CCHEC was leasing two
commercial buildings in Rawlins in separate locations to
secure floor space to administer and operate its
educational programs. CCHEC desired to consolidate its
operations into one centralized facility or facility
complex in Rawlins, Wyoming. Pedersen Planning
Consultants was retained to complete a facility
consolidation study. It was envisioned that the facility
consolidation study would be used by an architectural
and/or engineering firm to further plan and design one
or more structures and related site improvements, as
well as estimate preliminary construction costs for the
project. |
|
| The initial
tasks associated with this study involved the
determination of anticipated floor space and site
requirements for the planned CCHEC facility. |
|
| PPC interviewed various
CCHEC program administrators, instructors, and
administrative staff. Subsequently, PPC prepared
conceptual floor plans for administrative,
instructional, and common space areas to enable its
determination of minimum floor space requirements. |

requirements needed to support the operation and
maintenance of the facility complex were also identified
and evaluated. This analysis focused primarily upon the
general building site needs, vehicular access and
parking area requirements, as well as related
landscaping. This analysis also concluded that the
development of a facility complex was more practical to
enable CCHEC to accommodate future facility expansion
that might be generated from dynamic changes in its
future program offerings.
The study also examined
alternate sites where the location of the planned in
Rawlins, WY, could be consolidated into one location.
The constraints and advantages associated with each site
alternative were evaluated. Ultimately, a preferred
location was recommended for future facility
development.
PPC also analyzed
potential opportunities to establish partnerships with
other non-profit agencies and organizations in Rawlins
that might be considering facility expansions. This
evaluation considered the potential compatibility of
CCHEC programs with other agencies, as well as potential
facilities that might be shared. |
