17  

Funding and Infrastructure

Formula Funding

• Formula funding is currently based on enrollment, discipline, and class matriculation

• Continued strategic growth allows Texas Tech University to maintain and grow its relative position for percentage share of formula funding distribution

Infrastructure : Academics •  Teaching spaces exist to support a consistent growth rate with minimal additions above what is currently

planned, including former Petroleum Engineering building, former Mass Communications building, Rawls COBA West Wing, and Weeks Hall. Available funds can be best used to renovate existing spaces and/or convert underutilized meeting rooms with minimal debt impact. Classroom and Meeting Room space is the most currently available resource to the university and should be controlled and managed to support future enrollment growth.

•  Research space (ESB II) will be added if current TRB request is funded. This project is pending Legislative review and authorization for state funding. It is included in our five year debt capacity plan. The addition of the former Mass Communications building will add critical research space in engineering as well.

•  We also must use HEAF funds to retrofit dated research space in some units.

•  Office space is currently the greatest need to meet continued growth. When TTUS Offices are relocated to the new System Building, the existing space on core campus and Tech Plaza could be utilized to address the office space needs with minimal debt financing. In addition, Engineering and Business Administration have future projects planned which will address specific office space deficits in their areas

Infrastructure Housing Capacity

•  Primary goal is to house all first year students on campus

•  Another goal is to provide housing for any student wishing to live on campus due to the academic, economic, social, retention and graduation benefits on campus housing provides to students

•  Additional residence hall Fall 2017 will provide infrastructure to continue housing same percentage of total student population (approximately 20%) and continue and expand our Living Learning Communities (e.g., an Honors College residence hall)

Infrastructure Auxiliaries, Student Services

•  Hospitality: Continue to explore additional kiosks in academic and auxiliary facilities; Recreational Sports: Satellite facility on master plan, located convenient to both TTU and TTUHSC; Student Health Service : Sufficient infrastructure for growth

•  Student Union: Continue to explore space utilization; United Supermarket Arena: Sufficient infrastructure with renovation/update needs; Transportation & Parking Services: Will be working with transportation consultant to assess future needs

•  Increased enrollment will continue to necessitate added staff for auxiliaries and student services (i.e., counseling, wellness, judiciary services, etc.)

25  

Summary •  Trend in enrollment growth shows that TTU will very likely reach 40,000 by 2020, if not before

•  Continue to meet goals to enhance academic quality ü  Consistently enhance student quality while maintaining progress toward becoming HSI through enhanced

scholarship awards ü  Become more AAU-like ü  Increase number of faculty to enhance student-to-faculty ratio ü  Enhance retention strategies ü  Enhance recruitment efforts for graduate students

•  Funding and Infrastructure ü  Enrollment growth essential to receive percentage share of formula funding distribution ü  Added housing planned for fall 2017 will provide sufficient space to expand Living Learning Communities ü  Formula funding and designated tuition will provide for faculty growth ü  Goal to increase externally funded research grants will support graduate students ü  TTU currently has classroom and office space to accommodate growth (if Tech Plaza is utilized) ü  Research space will be added based on TRB request ü  Anticipated increase in HEAF funds will be split between renovations and new faculty start-ups
