The population of this region was approximately one million as of 2010. There were 847,982 primary jobs as of 2011.

Between 2010 and 2020, population in the region is expected to grow about 50% faster than the state as a whole. This indicates a favorable climate for job growth. Worker age profiles are similar to those for the state as a whole, but the percentage of jobs with annual salaries over $40,000 is higher than it is statewide.

Educational attainment in the region is significantly higher than in Tennessee as a whole. Compared to the statewide average, 9% more residents have completed a Bachelor’s degree or more. About 6% more have a high school degree or equivalent.

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; information; real estate & rental & leasing; professional, scientific, & technical services; other services; and public administration.

The following industry sectors occupy a significantly lower percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: manufacturing; retail trade; transportation & warehousing; and educational services.

The regional employment outlook by industry cluster shown on page 354 comes from the Occupational Trends in Tennessee Employment Report (OTTER) from the Tennessee Department of Labor. All data are shown for Local Workforce Investment Area 9, which includes Murfreesboro, except for Industrial Maintenance data, which is only available for the state as a whole.

According to this data, all industry demand clusters related to programs taught at TCAT Murfreesboro are expected to grow between 2012 and 2020 except for CAD Technology.

The job outlook in all 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

A number of programs are expected to have a more competitive job market, in part due to the higher number of graduates in these fields relative to the number of anticipated job openings. 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 articulate. These programs are: Automotive Technology, Cosmetology, Dental Assistant, HVACR, Phlebotomy, Practical Nursing, and Surgical Technology.

• Supply demand ratio (the ratio of graduates of programs in all related higher education programs to the number of job openings)

Based on these factors, the following programs are predicted to have an excellent job outlook in the region: Business Systems Technology, Computer Information Technology, and Pharmacy Technician.

The following programs are expected to have very good or favorable job prospects: Industrial Maintenance and Machine Tool Technology.

What one word would you use to describe students’ first impression of the campus and facilities?

What one word would you use to describe what the college could become in the future?

The “wordles” above are based on responses to the online survey

Demand for graduates of the HVACR program is expected to increase in the coming years, in part due to industry demand due to rising energy costs.

The Industrial Maintenance program is expected to increase in enrollment in the next five years.

Enrollment in the Machine Tool program is expected to increase in the near future, in part due to more job openings, fewer job applicants, and an aging workforce.

Enrollment in the Pharmacy Technician program is expected to increase in the coming years, in part due to the 2020 requirement by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) that a certified program must be completed prior to taking the board exam.

The Phlebotomy program is expected to increase in enrollment in the coming years.

The Practical Nursing program is expected to increase in enrollment in the next five years, in part due to changes in the health care industry.

Enrollment in the Surgical Technology program is expected to increase in the near future, in part due to technological changes in the field and growing health care needs as the U.S. population ages.

Potential Future Programs

Local industry leaders and/or the campus identified the potential to add mechatronics, welding, and graphic design programs, as well as a tool and die component to the existing Industrial Maintenance program.

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 Murfreesboro that meet these industries’ needs: veterinary technology; emergency medical technician; personal and home care; truck, bus, rail, water transportation & heavy equipment; turf grass/nursery production; horticulture; plumbing; and auto body/collision repair.

Space Needs

The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Murfreesboro 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 the amount of both administrative and faculty office space is more than adequate based on employee numbers provided by the campus. Most faculty indicated in surveys that their existing office space was adequate.

The chart at center right compares four existing types of space with modeled space needs in those categories. The open computer lab category includes space for Technology Foundations, testing, and open computer labs. The model shows a need for approximately 1,300 additional square feet of this type of space, based on current enrollment.

The model shows that existing food service space is adequate. This category includes student lunch rooms or lounges, vending machine areas, and the like.

Meeting space includes space available for community use, staff meetings, and large gatherings of students. The model indicates that there is significantly more space in this category than needed, although this space is used in part for the electrical training program. This space is important for its role in marketing to the regional community.

Central service and storage space does not include storage and service space for individual programs or for offices. It includes storage for campus-wide supplies, maintenance and janitorial supplies, surplus equipment, vehicle storage, and the like. The model shows that the amount of this type of space is adequate.

The chart on the following page 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. Adjusted FTE enrollment numbers include dual enrollment high school students.

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 Automotive Technology program is significantly inadequate according to the model and the campus. Lab space would need to increase by between approximately 2,400 and 3,800 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment. Interest in this program is consistently high.

• The model shows a surplus of teaching space for the Business Systems Technology program. This program also has a separate classroom, which is not assumed to be needed by the model. The campus confirmed that the existing space is adequate.

• The model also shows a surplus of teaching space for the CAD Technology program. This calculation is based on current enrollment, such that there might be a need for additional space if enrollment increased. If this program converted to a hybrid online format, physical teaching space would still be needed in the evenings.

• Both the model and the campus confirmed the need for additional space for the Computer Information Technology program. Interest in this program is consistently high.

• Teaching space for the Cosmetology program is adequate according to the model and the campus. Interest in this program is consistently high.

• There is a small need for additional teaching space for the Dental Assistant program according to the model.

• Teaching space for the HVACR program is adequate according to the model and the campus.

• The amount of lab space for the Industrial Maintenance program is within the acceptable range according to the model. The campus indicated that the existing classroom size is inadequate. Industrial Electricity and Welding space are included in this calculation. Interest in this program is consistently high.

• Teaching space for the Machine Tool Technology program would need to increase by between approximately 1,600 and 2,700 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment. The campus confirmed this need.

• Teaching space for the Pharmacy Technology program would need to increase by between approximately 800 and 1,000 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment. There is not a separate classroom for this program, so that is also needed. The campus expressed needs for additional space for computers and counter space for lab activities.

Space Recommendations

When the new satellite campus of TCAT Murfreesboro opens in Smyrna in the Fall of 2016, the Automotive Technology and Welding spaces on the Main Campus will be vacated. In addition, Industrial Maintenance and Machine Tool Technology programs will open at Smyrna and are expected to take some of the demand off of these programs at the Main Campus, reducing their space needs. For this reason, no expansions are recommended of these programs.

The migrations described below and shown on the following page show one potential set of options for expanding space for those programs that need it most.

• The Cosmetology program should be relocated to Welding lab when that program moves to the Smyrna campus. This would allow the existing Cosmetology space to be converted to much-needed classroom space for the Phlebotomy and Pharmacy Technician programs.

• The simplest means of expanding space for the Practical Nursing program would be to secure additional space from the Tennessee Career Center next door. If this is not an option, the Nursing program could be relocated to the Automotive Technology space when that program is relocated to the Smyrna campus. This is not ideal, however, because of the renovation costs, and because the Automotive space would be better preserved for a program that needs high bay space.

• The Computer Information Technology program currently needs additional space, but there are no easy options for expansion. With future renovations and migrations, additional space should be secured for this program.

The opening of the Smyrna campus in Fall 2016 is expected to meet many of the space needs identified here, but several migrations are recommended to make the best use of existing space.

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:

• The Main Building, the Voc Addition, and Building 70000 all have ballasted EPDM roof systems. The roof system has localized ponding issues, and the ballast makes locating individual water infiltration issues difficult.

• In the Cosmetology lab and classroom (rooms 121 & 122 of the Main Building), there are three original, single pane aluminum windows. The window compound is cracking, allowing water to infiltrate the building.

• Roof system issues are allowing water to seep and collect in the overhead metal panel and soffit system on the front of the Main Building. This water will evidentially rust the metal panel system.

• The HVAC systems in Building 70000 are aging and lack elevated housekeeping pads. Chilled water and hot water pumps appear to be original to the 1995 addition and are aging.

• Virtually all existing electrical panels in Building 70000 are at capacity. Adding circuits would be extremely difficult.

• The sink located on the north wall of the Pharmacy Technician lab (room 118 of the Main Building) does not drain to a proper sanitary waste line. The hair washing sinks in the Cosmetology lab (room 121) have the same issue.

• The air handling unit serving the Main Building appears to be original and has reached the end of its useful life.

• The existing roof mounted gas fired make-up air units above the Welding Lab (room 127 in the VOC Addition) appear to be original to the building and have reached the end of their useful life.

• In the Voc Addition, the existing air handling unit serving corridor 188 and located in the mezzanine mechanical room above the staff lounge (room 125) is rusting at piping connections and has reached the end of its useful life.

Site Needs

No significant site needs were identified during the walk-through. Lighting adjacent to the building could be improved for security. There is ponding of water adjacent to Building 70000 near the CAD Technology lab. The parking lot pavement is in acceptable condition. There are no recommendations for property acquisition adjacent to TCAT Murfreesboro.

According to parking ratio assumptions developed as part of this Master Plan, and based on the existing number of students, faculty, administrators, and staff on the Main Campus, parking is currently adequate on campus.

The campus is not easily identifiable from the highway, due to the deep setback, low building, and limited signage
