Based on these factors, the following programs are predicted to have an excellent job outlook in the region: Building Construction Technology, Business Systems Technology, Computer Information Technology, Early Childhood Education, and Truck Driving.

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

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: Aesthetics Technology, Auto Body/Collision Repair, Automotive Technology, Barbering, Cosmetology, Dental Assistant, HVACR, Phlebotomy, Practical Nursing, and Welding 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

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

Space Needs

The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Nashville 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 existing administrative office space is more than adequate. The model shows a significant surplus of existing faculty office space. According to data provided by the campus, there are 30 faculty on the Main Campus that need desks, but the master planning team’s walk-through found 45 faculty office stations.

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 1,600 additional square feet of this type of space, based on current enrollment.

The model shows that existing food service space is nearly 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 a need for more space. 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 existing space would need to nearly double to be 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.

• The Aesthetics Technology program is one of only two programs of this kind in the state, so lab space is not addressed by the model. The campus indicated a need for additional space to accommodate current enrollment. The model indicates that existing classroom space is adequate, but the need for walls to separate the classroom was expressed by the campus.

• The Aviation Maintenance Technology is one of only three programs of this kind in the state, so lab space is not addressed by the model. This program is taught exclusively on the Cockrill Bend Campus. The campus indicated a need for additional lab space, especially if there is a desire to increase enrollment. The model indicates that the size of the existing classroom space is more than adequate.

• According to the model, lab space for the Auto Body/Collision Repair program would need to expand to meet current needs, although the campus indicated that the size of existing space is adequate. Existing classroom space is adequate according to the model and the campus.

• Lab space for the Automotive Technology program is currently adequate according to the campus, although the model shows that it would need to increase to serve current enrollment. Classroom space is adequate.

• The Barbering program closed in September 2013, so space needs shown here are no longer relevant.

• The model shows that the Building Construction Technology program needs at least approximately 6,900 additional square feet of lab space to adequately serve current enrollment. The campus confirmed a significant need for more space. Both the model and the campus confirmed that classroom space is adequate. This program is taught exclusively on the Cockrill Bend Campus.

• Lab space for the CAD Technology program is more than adequate according to the model and the campus. This program has a separate classroom, which is not typical for this type of program on other TCAT campuses.

Space Recommendations

The following recommendations offer a potential set of solutions to address the space needs identified above. These changes reflect some new buildings, as well as some migrations that make use of currently vacant space as shown in the diagrams on the following pages.

• Construct a new building where shown on the plan to house the HVACR program. Once this program leaves its current space, Welding should expand to fill it.

• Relocate the CAD Technology program to the space vacated by the Barbering program in the Henry Building. The CAD Technology classroom and offices in the Shop Building should then be occupied by the Machine Tool program. The Machine Tool classroom and offices can then be converted to additional lab space for that program.

• Renovate and combine rooms 302, 303, 305, and 306 in the Henry Building to make more efficient use of office space for the Adult Education program and eliminate the conference room. Relocate the existing Adult Education classroom from room 312 in the Gibson Building to this space. The Adult Education classroom should then be converted to laboratory space for the Practical Nursing program or classroom space for the Dental programs.

• A storage building should be built on campus to help address campus-wide (non-program-related storage and service needs).

• In the long term, construct an Allied Health building where shown on the plan. This building should include space for the Practical Nursing, Phlebotomy, Dental Assistant, and Dental Laboratory Technology programs, as well as any future health programs. Its location at the front of the campus is an opportunity to make an architectural statement and make a more modern first impression. Alternately, space for these programs could be leased elsewhere in the region.

• In the long term, construct a new building where shown on the plan to house a Diesel Technology program. Alternately, this new building could be constructed on the Cockrill Bend Campus.

• Relocate the Building Construction Technology program from the Cockrill Bend campus to another location and convert its current space to lab space for the Aviation Maintenance Technology program.

The proposed expansions and mi-grations will provide space for those programs with the highest needs. A new Allied Health building would provide much-needed space for several programs and improve the appearance of the campus.

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 Shop Building has evidence of differential settlement occurring above the reasonable expected limits. Twelve different wall locations were observed with shear, stepping, or traveling cracks with the greatest cracking occurring in rooms 117 & 118.

• Roofing sealant and seams are beginning to fail throughout the roofing systems of the Shop Building, Henry Building, Gibson Building, and the Malin Building.

• There is a window air conditioning unit in the snack room of the Shop Building.

• Most all four pipe fan coil units in the HVAC system appear to be at the end of their useful life.

• Ventilation for the Welding shop is inadequate.

• The existing electrical system is at capacity.

• Lighting system needs upgrading.

• The air handler located in room 236 appears to be original to the building and has reached the end of its useful life.

• Servers in the Henry and Malin Buildings could be better served by HVAC system.

• Several mechanical or sprinkler rooms are currently being used for storage.

• Plumbing fixtures in the Gibson Building appear to be original.

• The HVAC system in the Gibson Building is original to the building.

• The air handling systems and condensing units in the Malin Building are original and are reaching the end of their useful life.

• Mold on the diffusers and ceiling tiles in the Malin Building is likely due to the use of goose neck PVC pipes as sleeves for the refrigerant piping. This piping is not sealed weatherproof and is allowing moisture to migrate into the ceiling space.

• The electrical system for the Malin Building is at capacity.

• The existing air handling unit in Building 6 is in poor condition.

• In the Aesthetics classroom, sprinkler heads are pointing down rather than up.

• There is no air conditioning in the Aviation lab (only heating and ventilation).

• The electrical system seems to have been upgraded 5-6 years ago, but the campus reported that it is at capacity.

In addition to the proposed buildings and building expansion shown above, a few other site improvements are recommended The parking lot on the Main Campus should be sealed, and lighting at the rear of the campus should be improved.

On the Cockrill Bend campus, an adjacent roadway and culvert are discharging stormwater onto the campus. During heavy rain, water leaks under the roll-up door for the Aviation Lab. Ponding also occurs in the gravel truck driving lot due to improper grading.

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, there is currently a deficit of 4 parking spaces. Parking should be expanded where shown on the plan to eliminate this deficit, which includes the assumption that a small percentage of students bike or ride the bus to campus.
