Today represents one of the milestones in the growth of area consciousness and in efforts toward the fulfillment of our dreams. We are grateful for your presence at these ceremonies. On behalf of all of the personnel of West Shore Community College - the administration, the faculty, the staff, and the governing board -- we welcome you who are honoring us with your presence on our campus today. This fine facility in which we meet today is the first of several buildings and is known as the Student Services Center. Others in process of construction and contemplated are the Technical-Vocational Center, and the Instructional Media Center. We have appreciated the cooperative efforts in the development of the campus and we continue to anticipate such interest and aid. Providing these c ollegiate facilities close to the homes of our citizens fills a real need for the ever increasing number of youth and adults wishing to continue their education. As those of you who have already enrolled in the college have discovered, a competent and dedicated faculty and administration are important to the excellence we desire. It is our intent to make this a high quality institution, one which will provide sound educational programs in the liberal arts, one which will offer technical and specialized vocational study, one where adults as well as young people may find adequacy in learning. We desire to make the resources of the college available to the entire area. To this end we have pledged ourselves, and the Board of Trustees believes that with this competent and dedicated faculty, and this fine facility, and with the continued support of our citizens, the excellence of West Shore Community College is assured. ^> 7/ ( Oliver J. DeJonge Chairman, Board of Trustees �YOUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION West Shore Community College, a public institution of higher education, was organized in accordance with act. No. 331 of the Public Acts of 1966 in the State of Michigan and established by a vote of the people on March 6, 1967. The establishment of this college district, comprised of Manistee Intermediate School District, Mason Intermediate School District, Walkerville and Weare-Crystal School districts, represents the culmination of several years of study and dedicated effort on the part of the citizens of the area. The college is governed by a seven member board of trustees elected at large from the district. It is financed! by legislative appropriation, a district-wide 1.5 mill levy, and student tuition. The administrative organization of the college was started in October of 1967 when the President assumed his office; subsequently, other staff members have been selected to assist with the planning and development of the college instructional program and the campus facilities. This staffing now includes a Dean of Business Services, Dean of Instruction - Technical Studies, Dean of Student Personnel Services, the Director of the Instructional Media Center, seventeen full-time faculty members and a support staff of secretaries, custodians and food service personnel. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION West Shore Community College, as a comprehensive community college, is dedicated to the service of its community. The college makes education beyond the high school level available to all students interested in, and capable of, benefiting from such a program of higher education. In addition, it provides the program and facility for an area vocational school of both secondary school and college levels. The quality and effectiveness of instruction offered by the college is important to all those interested in higher education - students, teachers, administrators, alumni, and the general public. It is the responsibility of the administration of the college to facilitate instruction and lead its staff and students to personal and group fulfillment in their educational endeavors. Free communication, a free flow of ideas and feelings among the administration, the faculty, the students, and the community, is essential for the realization of personal and institutional goals. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aims and objectives of West Shore Community College are: 1. To provide a program of general education which encompasses the common knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed by each individual to be effective as a person, a member of a family, a worker, and a citizen in our democratic society. 2. To assist students in orienting themselves to adult and college life by providing a program of counseling which enables the student to discover his aptitudes and interests and assists him in the choice of a vocation. 3. To provide an area vocational school program in several occupations for those students who wish to prepare for immediate employment upon completion of their program of study. The programs will be designed to enable students to achieve occupational competence and to provide them with opportunities for achieving skills for living in a contemporary society. 4. To offer the lower division studies which may be used in transfer to other institutions of higher education for the purpose of securing a bachelor's degree. 5. To provide for the educational needs of mature and receptive adults. 6. To make available community services for the enrichment of the lives of the citizens of the district through lectures, forums, plays, concerts, art exhibits, and other cultural activities. 7. To provide a program of guided studies which will enable students in need of development work to pursue studies appropriate to their individual needs and to promote honors study programs for students with superior academic capabilities. 8. To cooperate with other schools and colleges, with civic groups, with educational foundations, and with private individuals and corporations in any proper endeavor likely to result in an educational advantage to the citizens of the college and the community. �Phase III - Instructional Media Center ( 1 9 7 2 completion) In order to provide students, instructors, and citizens of the West Shore Community College service area with an instructional media facility commensurate with their needs, and in keeping with the service function of the college, the third phase of construction will provide an Instructional Media Center which will serve the projected student body of 1,500 students. This 28,000 square foot structure will incorporate a large group instruction area, two classrooms, an art studio, and twelve faculty offices in addition to the multi-purpose space essential to the operation of a college library and instructional media center. The Instructional Media Center, like the Technical Center, will be financed through a combination of federal, state and local funds. Phase IV - Health, Physical Education and Recreation Facility The facility for health, physical education and recreation will incorporate instructional spaces for a variety of physical education classes, recreation activities and intramural sports. The physical education and recreation curriculum will stress participation carry-over activities rather than spectator sports through the construction of both indoor and outdoor facilities. Phase V - General Studies Building As the student population grows nearer the thousand mark, separate facilities for general education and technical studies will be needed. To accommodate this growth a General Studies Building will be constructed. This structure will include spaces adapted to studies in humanities, social science, science, mathematics, English, speech and foreign languages. I Campus Plan The long range plan for physical facilities and campus development at West Shore calls for continued campus construction through the next several years as student enrollments increase. The master plan shown above outlines proposed campus development. The initial campus development is programmed in three phases covering the years 1970,1971 and 1972. Phase I -- Student Services Center The first phase of construction provides all-purpose student services and administration building. This 26,000 square foot facility has been designed to serve a variety of functions as the college grows to an expected 1,000 to 1,500 student population. Initially the Student Services Center will accommodate six classrooms, the instructional media center, faculty and counselors' offices, administration and board offices, a student lounge, snack bar, and auxiliary spaces. As other instructional facilities are constructed in Phases II & III, instructional activities will be removed from the Student Services Center in order that it may be converted to a center for student activities, food services, counseling and student personnel functions, and general administrative offices. The $750,000 required for construction of this building is paid entirely by local tax revenue. Phase II - Technical-Vocational Center ( 1 9 7 1 completion) The Technical-Vocational Center, now under construction, will be a building of 25,952 gross square feet. Three general classrooms, a satellite media center for technical studies, and laboratory spaces for automotive technology, electronics, biology, chemistry, secretarial studies, business machines, accounting, practical nursing, drafting, welding and machine tool technology, and faculty offices will be established in this building. This technical center, and accompanying details of campus development, are to be paid for through a federal Higher Education Facilities Act grant of $219,413, a grant from the Upper Great Lakes Commission of $40,000, a State Legislative appropriation of $334,819, and a portion of the local funds derived through a one and onehalf million dollar bond. Temporary Facilities The college has operated from temporary facilities for the past year. Six relocatable classroom buildings, two converted farm homes, a leased auto agency garage, and rented office space have been utilized to provide instructional, library, administrative and laboratory spaces. In addition, area hospitals have provided classroom and clinical study facilities for the nursing curriculum. The relocatable classrooms will continue in use for a number of years while construction of permanent campus facilities progresses. The technical-vocational activities in automotive, drafting and machine tool technologies will remain in the leased garage until Phase II of construction is completed in 1971. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The comprehensive nature of the college suggests that education beyond the secondary school will be made available in a variety of curriculums: developmental, vocational, technical, and transfer; it also relates to the responsibility the college has to serve the whole population through various kinds of community service activities, including, but not restricted to, area vocational school activities. As a service institution and as an institution of higher education, West Shore Community College is dedicated to programs which will increase the opportunity for equal educational opportunity for all.

The present drain commissioner, Robert Christie, has submitted his resignation as of the first of 1969, so things might slow up until a new one has been appointed and he learns the procedures necessary. A l l drainage laws and regulations have to be followed for this 566 drainage project just as they do in any other type of drainage project.

YOUTH ACTIVITY & EDUCATIONAL REPORT Curtiss Berndt, Chairman 1968 Youth Activities Win State Honors Eight students from St. Stanislaus School entered scrapbooks in the local "Youth Soil and Water Conservation Scrapbook Contest" and from these five were chosen to be sent to the State contest. We have been notified that two of these students have won first place awards in State-wide judging. These students are Carol Keating, who is in the 5th grade and Russell Kruska, a sixth grader, both of Ludington. For the coming year we are planning to have each school in the county participate in the local contest. We are also sponsoring a Woodland Evaluation Program for the High School Agriculture Classes. �SOIL STEWARDSHIP REPORT Merle Wood, Chairman The Mason-Lake Soil Conservation District sponsors a Soil Conservation Tour for our local ministers each spring in conjunction with Soil Stewardship Week, during which we t r y to show local progress in our work, and to bring to mind afresh the close relationship of conservation of soil and water to nature and to God. We sincerely believe that this tour is one of the best ways to show the interest of the District in community betterment and progress. This year our Soil Stewardship work consisted of our annual tour for ministers. The week previous to Soil Stewardship Week some of our ministers helped with a fiveminute radio program. Some had been in other countries and told of their experiences and life. We would like to thank these ministers and also the radio station WKLA for giving us the time for these broadcasts. Our tour started with a visit to the Amber sawmill. We watched logs being debarked before they were sawed, with all heavy work being done by power. Very little hand labor was involved. Due to the rainy day, we drove by some ponds on our way to the Don Lundberg farm. There we saw his new milking parlor and new feeding system. We were to check sod waterways on the Laverne and Charles Monton farm and watch an aerial spray demonstration by Thompson's, but the weather was against us. A noon luncheon was held at the Swedish Coffee Pot. The next stop was at the LandO-Pines, where it was explained how trees are packaged for shipment. Each person was presented with a small tree. The following participated in the tour: Rev. John Christens en, Rev. Bernard Fetty, Rev. Harold Filbrandt, Rev. Fred McNeil, Rev. A . J. Ransom, Rev. Jack Kraklan, Rev. Ralph Fisher, Rev. Harlan J. Brooks, Rev. Robert Christiansen and Father Ernest Bernott; also, directors, Robert Hasenbank, Merle Wood and Curtiss Berndt and Robert J. Amsterburg, SCS. Grocery stores in Ludington, Scottville, Custer, Freesoil and some rural stores helped in soil stewardship by placing material in grocery bags. "It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. " Ezekiel 17:8 FORESTRY REPORT Dwight Spuller, Chairman This again has been a successful year in our Forestry Program. Some 250,000 trees were planted by District cooperators. Most of these were Red Pine. The interest in planting wildlife food plants continues to increase, with 32,000 being planted this year. One of the more satisfying parts of the Forestry Program is the opportunity to be of service to absentee landowners. Our contacts with these landowners has resulted in many more acres of land being put to its best use. A new program in effect only part of this year allows us to give more landowners the benefits of being in the Tree Farm System. Five owners w i l l receive their Tree Farm signs and certificates this year. In 1969, we w i l l be able to submit a list of ten names for possible Tree Farm membership. If you are interested, please give us your name. We w i l l again have a good supply of trees and shrubs for Spring planting. Please get your order in early, as some of the trees w i l l come from other nurseries and we need to get our order placed soon. �1968 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION Regina Hunter, ASCS Office Manager Report of Agricultural Conservation Program Accomplishments in the Mason County Soil Conservation District for the 1968 program year. During the reporting period, about $70,127 of ACP cost-sharing was used in the Mason-Lake Soil Conservation D i s t r i c t . These funds helped solve particular conservation problems on 289 farms. This represents about 23 percent of the farms in the district.

J. Amsterburg, Jr. Work Unit Conservationist U. S. Soil Conservation Service The Soil Conservation Service has the major job of providing technical assistance to landowners in the Mason-Lake Soil Conservation D i s t r i c t . Cooperators of the District made decisions this year that resulted in 40 new or revised soil and water conservation plans. Changing times and different interests result in new or revised plans of operations . Water resource management resulted in establishing 21 new ponds with 18 ponds being stocked with fish, 45,000 feet of tile drains were installed and 500 feet of streambanks being protected from erosion. Our wildlife resources were bolstered by 600 acres being preserved for wildlife with improved areas of 100 acres in these areas. Over 8,000 feet of hedgerows were planted to aid wildlife in this District. 15,000 feet of field windbreaks were established to protect our farmlands from the ravages of wind erosion. Forest resources were increased by the addition of some 400 acres of tree planting while 1100 acres of mature timber was harvested which not only brings our income to the landowner, but serves to make room for growing timber and improved conditions and habitat for wildlife. Recreation in our area continues to grow with 1400 acres being used for wildlife recreational purposes. Technical assistance on soil and water conservation planning and application is furnished by the Soil Conservation Service. �PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE E. Dean Raven County Extension Agricultural Agent The County Board of Supervisors, in the year 1968, created a County Parks and Recreation Commission and a County Zoning Commission. The establishment of these two Commissions gives the people of Mason County the legal organizations necessary in planning and developing the resources of the area for the maximum benefit of a l l . The County Parks and Recreation Commission, established last March and formally organized in A p r i l , is inventorying the public and private recreational facilities of the county. This is the first step in the development of a County Parks and Recreation Plan and Program. It is the desire of the Commission to cooperate with cities, townships and private interests in a coordinated parks and recreation area development that can best serve both residents and visitors. The County Zoning Commission held its first meeting in October. Its task is to study the county and recommend to the Board of Supervisors a Zoning Plan for the county. The Commission members have a difficult task. They are now in the process of gathering information on the present land uses and other data necessary before they can start the process of writing a Plan. The Plan can guide us in the wise use of our natural resources and help us see that future developments occur in sound and orderly fashions, instead of in an unwise and hodgepodge manner. It is a privilege for me to work with both of these groups in an ex-officio capacity. Members of both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the County Zoning Commission have a difficult and important task. They are planning for the future of our county. They need your help, suggestions and support. Let's help them as they "give thought to your tomorrow". JACK PINE PETE SEZ: The more we git involved in our new RC&D Project, the more i n terestin' it gits. The things we kin do to help develop our natural resources fer the benefit of all the community are limited only by the imagination of the people interested in seein' the area develop. We'll be able to help all the local units of government, any local groups er organizations an' individuals who have got a project fer development that w i l l fit into the plan we come up with. One of the best things about it is that the local people w i l l be the ones that make the decisions on the kind of projects they want. We're goin' to be able to git all the local, State an' Federal agencies to work together to give us the best advice there is in makin' this area better. We wuz real glad to see the Board of Supervisors appoint a Zoning Commission fer the County. Since any plannin' is based on the use of our land, water an' forest resources, we kin offer them a lot of help in plannin' land use. Without the consideration of the land an' its uses, no plannin' is goin' to be successful. Any member of our Board of Directors w i l l be w i l l i n ' to help all they kin. Be sure to come to our Annual Meetin'. We've got a real good program arranged. There should be somethin' of interest fer everybody. John Calkins, that used to be up to Packagin' Corporation an' now is Deputy Director of the State Department of Agriculture is goin' to be our speaker. We're goin' to have some door prizes an' the Scottville Chamber of Commerce is goin' to give another one of their real good free lunches. Bring Ma along, too.

The counties are located o n the eastern shore o f Lake Michigan w i t h L u d i n g t o n the county seat o f Mason County and Manistee the county seat o f Manistee County. The City of Manistee is the p r i n c i p a l m a r k e t i n g , industrial and cultural center o f Manistee County. Its excellent natural harbor combines two factors i m p o r t a n t to industry; an unlimited supply o f fresh water, and low cost transportation afforded by lake s h i p p i n g . Cargo includes salt, paper, limestone, sand gravel and coal. U n d e r l y i n g this area are vast salt deposits — the yearly o u p u t a p p r o x i m a t i n g 8 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 pounds. The City o f L u d i n g t o n is the p r i n c i p a l m a r k e t i n g , industrial and cultural center o f Mason County. Its excellent harbor serves the Chesapeake and O h i o Railroad car ferry fleet, w h i c h annually carries i n excess o f 160,000 passengers, 55,000 automobiles and freight tonnage exceeding 2-1/4 m i l l i o n gross tons. T h i s auto ferry between L u d i n g ton and Milwaukee, Manitowoc and Keewanee, Wisconsin operates year a r o u n d . The area achieved fame initially as a l u m b e r i n g center due to the vast sources o f h a r d w o o d t i m b e r and the natural harbors o n Lake Michigan. Today, the industrial segment is well diversified w i t h valuations accounting f o r a p p r o x i mately 29% o f the districts tax base. Its area location is generally associated w i t h available raw materials, h i g h value added by manufacture and the existence o f an adequate experienced labor supply. Area chemical industries related to salt, b r o m i n e , bromides, l i m e , magnesium, calcium and chloride deposits employ over 15% o f those engaged i n industry. Paper, refractory and l u m b e r products m a n u facture are also associated w i t h the availability o f raw materials locally as are the food processing industries o f the area. The various metals industries o f the area are largely engaged in the p r o d u c t i o n o f goods such as watch cases, w i r e , machinery and machine tools, p u m p s , valves, f o r g i n g s and castings. A l o n g w i t h furniture, boats, game equipment and other durable g o o d s , these industries involve over 4 5 % o f those employed i n manufacturing. Sport c l o t h i n g and childrens apparel manufacture also provide a significant p o r t i o n of manufacturing employment. Several o f these industries are national leaders i n their respective fields and include such w e l l - k n o w n names o f American industry as Packaging C o r p o r a t i o n o f America, D o w Chemical Company, M o r t o n I n t e r n a t i o n a l - M o r t o n Salt and M o r t o n Chemical D i v i s i o n s , Ex-Cell-O C o r p o r a t i o n Michigan T o o l D i v i s i o n , Martin-Marietta Corporation-Standard Lime and Refectories D i v i s i o n , Hardy Salt Company, Century Boat Company and G l e n of M i c h i g a n .

W h e n completed i n 1973, the pumped storage hydroelectric power plant w i l l be capable o f generating up to 1,872,000 kilowatts o f power. Recreation along the Lake M i c h i g a n shoreline has become a year-round industry and the district is additionally benefited by this economic factor. The Manistee N a t i o n a l Forest affords many miles o f t r o u t streams, rivers, lakes and vast areas o f w o o d l a n d . T h e sand-duned shoreline o f Lake M i c h igan provides nature's best i n sandy beaches. T h e sport o f fishing has been greatly enhanced by the i n t r o d u c t i o n o f fresh water c o h o salmon to Lake M i c h i g a n .

The fastest g r o w i n g segment o f agriculture i n the past five years has been i n the area o f vegetable p r o d u c t i o n w i t h the largest increase i n the p r o d u c t i o n o f seed potatoes. Farmers, w h o operate under contract with progressive f o o d processing plants and d i s t r i b u t o r s , have added sweet c o r n and cauliflower to their other cash crops. The c o m b i n a t i o n i f its sandy loam s o i l , t e m p e r i n g effects o f Lake M i c h i g a n and the i r r i g a t i o n systems provide ideal conditions f o r the p r o d u c t i o n o f apples, cherries and strawberries.

I feel the value of farm products would be much higher the d i s t r i c t than that printed. Manistee i s placed at about 3.75 million '64. This i s probably increased by 1 1/2 to 2 million since the census last taken. I also feel that perhaps our total f r u i t picture at the present time may equal more than 2/3 of the agriculture income. I t may be closer to 3/4 at this time. Where would forest products f i t n into the picture? In regard to space i n the prospectus - there i s probably not too much more which could be added.

PHYSICAL PLANNING PROPOSALS 20 APPENDIX 25 �SUMMARY West Shore Community College was established in March of 1967 in response to a growing need for academic and occupational education beyond the high school level in the area served by the Manistee and Mason Intermediate School Districts and neighboring districts on the west coast of Michigan. Located about nine miles from Ludington and some eighteen miles from Manistee in the lower half of its service area, West Shore as a comprehensive community college is dedicated to the service of the community. The curriculum is designed to provide the first two years of a four-year program for those interested in a bachelor's degree as well as to provide programs in occupational and technical areas. Both innovative teaching techniques and the traditional approaches to learning will be practiced. The physical development needs of West Shore as outlined through 1979 include a Student Services Building, Technical-Vocational Center, Instructional Media Center, General Studies Building, an Area Vocational Center, and a Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building with related facilities. Imposing the physical needs of the instructional plan on the site is to be done with the utmost care in the interest of preserving the natural beauty of the site. Toward this goal the concept of a "pedestrian campus" was established very early in the planning process. The automobile is to be relegated to the perimeter of the campus, where its unreasonable demand for space will do little in the way of destroying the maturh woods, open meadow land, and wooded ravine all of which are an inherent part of the campus of West Shore Community College. 1 �I. HISTORY II. NEEDS OF THE AREA Estimated Enrollment West Shore Community College, a public community college, was organized in accordance with Act No. 331 of the Public Acts of 1966 in the State of Michigan and established by a vote of the people on March 6, 1967. The establishment of this college district, comprised of Manistee Intermediate School District and Mason Intermediate School District, represents the culmination of several years of study and dedicated effort on the part of the citizens of the two county area. From the Feasibility Study 1 for the formation of the West Shore Community College, and through the insight provided relative to student, industrial, and business needs in the Area Vocational Education Study,2 it is apparent that the area of Western Michigan to be served by the college can profit from the services of a comprehensive community college. The West Shore Community College District includes the areas inscribed by the boundaries of the Manistee Intermediate School District and the Mason Intermediate School District plus the Walkerville and Weare-Crystal School Districts in Oceana County, on the west coast of the State of Michigan. This 1146 square mile area, plus several contiguous counties and school districts, are currently outside the service area of existing community college districts. In fact, the closest college to any community in the new West Shore Community College District is at least forty-five miles distant. The campus plan calls for a complement of 1,050 fiscal year full-time equated students by 1979. The estimated breakdown of general academic and technical-vocational students is 65% and 35%, respectively. The college district is governed by a seven member board of trustees elected at large from the District. It is financed by legislative appropriation, a district-wide tax levy, and student tuition. The administrative organization of the college was started in October of 1967 when the president assumed office; subsequently, other staff members have been selected to assist with the planning and development of the college program and the campus facilities. This staffing includes: dean of business services, dean of instruction—technical studies, dean of student personnel services, and the director of the instructional media center. On June 10, 1969, the voters of the Walkerville School District and the Weare-Crystal School District approved a referendum to annex to the West Shore Community College District. The population of the college district, according to the 1960 U.S. Census, is 43,086. Demographic studies indicate that college age population (18 and 19 year olds) in the district is expected to average to at least 1,500 young men and women for several years. All measures of potential students, including the number of 18 and 19 year olds, the number of high school graduates, the total high school enrollments, and the student interest—all of which have been documented in the aforementioned studies —indicate that an adequate number of students to operate a community college are available in the West Shore Community College District. By 1978-79, the enrollment of the college can be expected to be about 1,050. 1. 2. 2 S m i t h , M a x S., Community College Feasibility Study for County Intermediate School Districts of Manistee and Mason.

The estimated full-time equated enrollment projections have been determined from statistics prepared in the Feasibility Study, enrollment patterns in other beginning community colleges in rural Michigan, and enrollment applications received for the 1969-70 Fall Ouarter at West Shore. 1969-70 1970-71 1971-72 1972-73 1973-74 224 (actual) 425 480 535 600 1974-75 1975-76 1976-77 1977-78 1978-79 675 750 850 950 1,050 Note: Enrollment calculations are based upon an equated student representing 46.5 hours per fiscal year. The Area Vocational Education Study presents additional evidence that there is great need for new and expanded programs of occupational education in the Manistee and Mason County area. This need derives from the population to be served, the changing nature of occupations and employment, and the expressed training requirements of employers and the individual aspirations of parents for their children, student educational and occupational goals, and adult interests in continuing education for occupational and personal improvement. The need for a community college exists wherever large numbers of capable students cannot afford to go to college because of the costs of living away from home, the commuting distance, the high tuition, or the entrance requirements are geared to the academic elite. All of these, as well as some other barriers, have been cited in our studies of post-high school educational needs in the West Shore Community College area. Existing Physical Facilities and Enrollments The first classes at West Shore Community College were conducted on a part-time basis in the facilities of the local public school systems. Classes in September, 1968 met in the cities of Manistee and Scottville. Enrollment for the 1968-69 year generated a FTE count of 30.4. West Shore Community College opened full-time classes in the 1969-70 school year in six relocatable buildings located on campus in Victory Township. These provided 4,852 square feet for instructional purposes which, in effect, gave the college eight classrooms. The technical programs, at this time, were housed in a rented facility three miles south of the campus, which provides 4,552 square feet and houses A u t o m o t i v e Technology, Industrial Drafting, Marine Engine Repair, and Machine Tool Technology. The practical nursing course was quartered in the Mercy Hospital of Manistee. The above listed facilities accommodated an opening student head count of 323 which converts to an FTE of 224.322. This may be broken down as 231 college transfer students, 92 career occupational students, plus 48 community and adult education students. A faculty consisting of eighteen full-time and eight part-time instructors comprise the present staff. 3 �III. THE REGIONAL PICTURE Access to Campus The site selected for West Shore Community College is well related to the median point of population as defined by the Community College consultants from Michigan State University. Ten alternative sites in the college District were considered prior to the final selection by the West Shore Community College Board of Trustees. The campus site has excellent access from Sugar Grove Road on the south, and Stiles Road to the west. North-south traffic on U.S. 31 will use Sugar Grove Road for direct access to the campus. When U.S. 31 is relocated to a new alignment in the western section of the two county area, access will be available along Stiles Road north of the campus. A decision has not been reached on the exact location of the interchange, but the new U.S. 31 expressway will provide an improved linkage with the land areas on the north and south edges of the Manistee-Mason County area. The reduction in driving time from the northern townships will be important to the long term development of the Community College and the future growth of this section of Mason County. Manistee & Mason Intermediate School District Access from Ludington, Scottville, Manistee and other communities will be via existing State and County roads. Minor road improvements have been completed to establish comparable linkages to all areas within the College District. Zoning Presently, all land contiguous with the West Shore Community College property is either undeveloped or is being utilized for farming purposes. However, the land along the western side of Stiles Road adjacent to the campus is zoned commercial, residential, or farming while all other land that abuts the college property is zoned residentialfarming. The nature of development that will eventually occur adjacent to the campus will undoubtedly exert a profound effect upon the college. The development of spontaneous and haphazard land use patterns adjacent to the campus could conceivably have a negative effect on both the physical campus environment and the quiet dignity which is normally associated with an institution of higher learning. Consequently, the college should keep itself informed of all land use development proposals in the vicinity and should work with the community in an effort to formulate land use patterns which will be beneficial to all concerned. Although the college has no direct control over the zoning of land outside its boundaries, it can exert a strong influence on zoning decisions which will directly affect the campus environment. �Some definition of the phrase "comprehensive community college" should be made at this point to explain the comments which follow in the statement of this philosophy of education. "The comprehensive community college" means an educational institution providing, primarily for all persons above the twelfth grade level, within commuting distance, collegiate and non-collegiate level education including area technical-vocational education programs which may result in the granting of diplomas and certificates including those known as associate degrees but not including baccalaureate or higher degrees. IV. INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN Educational Philosophy The Board of Trustees for the West Shore Community College has approved a series of policies which establish the framework for the organization and operation of the college. The preface to these policies is the educational philosophy for the institution. An area vocational-education program means a program of organized systematic instruction designed to prepare the following individuals for useful employment in recognized occupations: (a) As a point of departure and as an aid in setting the stage for a report of the educational plan, we believe it important to state and, in some measure, interpret this philosophy. 6 (b) Persons who have already entered the labor market and who need training to achieve stability or advancement in employment; (c) West Shore Community College, as a comprehensive community college, is dedicated to the service of its community. The college shall make education beyond the high school level available to all students interested in, and capable of, benefiting from such a program of higher education. In addition, it shall provide the program and facility for an area vocational school of both secondary school and college levels. The quality and effectiveness of instruction offered by the college is important to all those interested in higher education—students, teachers, administrators, alumni, and the general public. It is the responsibility of the administration of the college to facilitate instruction and lead its staff and students to personal and group fulfillment in their educational endeavors. Free communication, a free flow of ideas and feelings among the administration, the faculty, the students, and the community is essential for the realization of personal and institutional goals. Persons who have completed or left high school and who are available for full-time study in preparation for entering the labor market; Persons enrolled in high school. When programs or courses are provided for persons enrolled in high school, the provision of the programs or courses shall be requested for each of the individuals by the superintendent or his designated representative of the school district in which the person is enrolled. The word "area," in the phrase "area technicalvocational education program," refers to the geographical territory within the district, and whatever territory without the district as is designated as the service area of the district by the state board of education. A community college is eligible to receive such state aid and assistance as may be appropriated by the legislature for the aid and support of junior colleges or community colleges.1 N 1. 3 9 0 . 8 7 2 General Schools Laws of State of Michigan. C o m m u n i t y College A c t of 1966. As a "community college," West Shore Community College will serve the college-age-population in the college district (the Intermediate School Districts of Mason and Manistee Counties, and portions of Oceana and Newaygo Counties), the counties adjacent to the college district, which the State Plan for Higher Education suggests should be a part of the West Shore District or Service area, and those from the State of Michigan and other states in the nation. The main purposes and objectives of West Shore Community College are: The term "comprehensive" implies that education beyond the secondary school should be made available in a v a r i e t y of curriculums— developmental, vocational, technical and transfer, to serve the whole population, not restricting itself to "college age" population, through various kinds of community service activities, including, but not restricted to, the area vocational school. The educational philosophy further states that education at West Shore Community College will be available to all students interested in, and capable of, benefiting from higher education. This commitment to an open admissions attitude and the resultant heterogeniety of the student population in the college suggests a strong responsibility for excellence in teaching. Therefore, the college must recognize its responsibility to modify its systems of communication, instruction, and evaluation to provide environments conducive to desirable learning experiences. A deep concern for individual students is incorporated in the general educational theory at West Shore Community College. Simply stated, this institution's theory of general education is based on a belief that human learning evolves out of the blending of previous experience with new knowledge, skills, and abilities in academic, cultural, or vocational areas. At this point in the development of the college, the administration and the board of trustees have jointly formulated a list of eight purposes and objectives for West Shore Community College designed to promote educational activities and programs which will lead toward the fulfillment of a comprehensive community college. This formalized statement of institutional objectives serves as a guide to policy making, to administration of programs and activities, and to orientation and direction of all personnel concerned with institutional activities. 1. 2. To provide a program of general education which encompases the common knowledge, skills and attitudes needed by each individual to be effective as a person, a member of a family, a worker, and a citizen in our democratic society. To assist students in orienting themselves to adult and college life by providing a program of counseling which enables the student to discover his aptitudes and interests, and assists him in the choice of a vocation. A strong well-planned program of student personnel services involving students in counseling and self-evaluation in vocational, academic, and social activities is one of the most important aims of the college. 3. To provide educational opportunity in several occupations for those students who wish to prepare for immediate employment upon completion of the program. The programs will be designed to enable students to achieve occupational competence and to provide them with opportunities for achieving skills for living in a contemporary society. The programs offered in career studies are designed to prepare men and women for employment upon completion of two years of education, or less, rather than to satisfy the course requirements essential for transfer to a four-year college or university. 7 �Curriculum 4. To offer the lower division studies which may be used in transfer to other institutions of higher education for the purpose of securing a bachelor's degree. Students may enroll in West Shore Community College in one of many courses of study. It is the purpose of the college to present as broad a curriculum as possible in order to meet both community and regional needs and also to give the general, specialized, and technical training so necessary in our society. 5. To provide for the educational needs of mature and receptive adults. Continuing education is essential to many facets of survival in our society. The comprehensive nature of the West Shore Community College philosophy of education provides encouragement to both the institution and its adult students. 6. To make available community services for the enrichment of the lives of the citizens of the college district through lectures, forums, plays, concerts, art exhibits, and other cultural activities. As a community college, West Shore Community College wishes to extend its educational services to the needs of the entire college service area. Community service is that phase of the educational program which provides educational, cultural, and recreational services over and beyond the regular curriculum. 7. 8 To provide a program of guided studies which will enable students in need of developmental work to pursue studies appropriate to their individual needs and to promote honors study programs for students with superior academic capabilities. Another facet of the "comprehensive community college" is the guided studies program which can unite curricular programs with the needs of individual students as identified through counseling and testing activities. The student who is disadvantaged because of cultural and environmental factors, and the superior student who can benefit from independent study and other forms of advanced study, should be served through planned programs of instruction. 8. To cooperate with other schools and colleges, with civic groups, with educational foundations, and with private individuals and corporations in any proper endeavor likely to result in an educational advantage to the citizens of the college and the community. The college will maintain lines of communication and cooperation with other institutions in the state. Articulation with the secondary schools and the colleges and universities will allow students greater ease and security in transferring from one institution to another. Citizens advisory committees, educational foundations, and other interested parties can contribute to the educational planning and financial support of college programs. Since West Shore is a community college, certain attributes, common to community colleges, will be found in this college. First, low cost to the student is achieved by the very fact that the college is dedicated to teaching without carrying on research and writing, which is so necessary to a university. Consequently, community college instructors are hired as full-time teachers. Second, since West Shore will remain a relatively small community college, as indicated in the projection of student enrollment, the student body will necessarily be an intimate student body with a common core of academic subjects scheduled for both day and evening students. Finally, it is reasonable to expect that no program will enjoy more prestige than another. Certainly the administration will not favor one program at the expense of another. As an institution of higher education dedicated to the comprehensive community college concept and the accompanying concern for excellence in its program of instruction, West Shore Community College is making plans for operation and development of its educational program. The development of the educational program at West Shore Community College will be dedicated to the establishment of a climate for education which will have a learner-centered approach, an approach which will allow each student an opportunity to secure educational guidance and intellectual achievement commensurate with his interests and abilities. In some instances, the incorporation of the learner-centered approach and its implications for individualized study will involve innovational program designs. of occupational programs, high or low cost, will not occur. The Instructional Media Center at West Shore Community College will provide multi-media to students and faculty who are involved in a mutual learning-teaching process accomplished by the means best suited to their needs. Students will be provided with study carrels, listening and film viewing areas, and open study spaces. Through the use of media (books', pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, tapes, films, filmstrips, microfilms, slides, transparencies, video tapes, etc.) innovative as well as traditional approaches to learning may be practiced. The use of media may also provide for a systems approach to learning in selected curriculums. Where the development of the educational program suggests new instructional program designs, care will be exercised to see that course objectives are meaningful and educationally sound. Attention will be directed to the learner and learning. The skillful teacher will be considered the medium through which learning takes place, and he will be encouraged to utilize educational facilities, technical devices (tapes, films, laboratories, television, learning resource center materials, programmed instruction), and time to the best advantage he can devise in relation to stated course objectives. The occupational programs at West Shore have been instituted on the basis of findings of an Area Vocational Study and the diligent deliberations of numerous advisory committees. These local advisory committees provide sensitivity to the pulse of local business and industry in their needs for trained personnel. The initial occupational offerings at the college are in areas that are common to many community colleges. As time progresses, programs will be developed that will be unique to West Shore. Throughout the planning and development of these programs we must recognize the fact that West Shore will cooperate with the other institutions in the northwestern portion of the lower peninsula to assure that needless duplication 9 �Area Vocational School Enrollment Estimates 1969-70 V. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS 8 (actual) 80 It is estimated that the campus will serve a fiscal year full-time equated enrollment of 1,050 students by 1979.

B. 1970-71 Student Services Center 26,020 gross square feet To provide instructional and administration spaces for the initial year of operation, West Shore Community College will serve area needs for post-secondary education, through the construction of an educational facility designed as unit I of a long-range campus plan. This facility will provide temporary spaces for instruction of both technical and academic programs and allow for the housing of student service and administrative activities of this new institution. The instructional uses of this facility will be moved to other buildings as the campus is developed and the Students Services functions, food services, student activities, and campus bookstore will be expanded to accommodate the student population. The temporary instruction spaces provided in this facility are designed to accommodate the anticipated enrollment of the first year of operation (224 F.Y.E.S.). However, the planning for student service, counseling and administrative spaces of this facility have been done anticipating an eventual full-time equated enrollment of 1,050 students, thus when converted to its projected permanent use, this facility will serve the entire campus through its spaces allotted to Student Service and Student Personnel activities. The student Services Center is planned to facilitate a quick and inexpensive change from a multipurpose building in 1969-70 to a student u n i o n administrative office complex during the 1970's. Special Features 1. The Student Services Center is planned to service the entire campus population as it grows to a student body of 1,050. 2. Food service areas are to be designed to accommodate instruction " l a b " spaces for students in the Hospitality careers program. 3. One wing of the building will be designed to accommodate all administrative functions, including student personnel, bookstore, and registration facilities. 4. The instructional services division accommodations will include a seminar room for use by instructional planning committees, general administrative and advisory groups, and a community services meeting room. 5. Student lounge and activity areas will incorporate facilities for dancing, games, and student government offices. Note: A copy of the space utilization page from the Capital Outlay Program statement as submitted to the Bureau of Higher Education may be found in the appendix. It must be kept in mind that this copy is part of the original educational specifications furnished to the architect. Therefore, the spaces shown on the copy will vary from the exact square feet in the building as a natural result of architectural planning. 11 �Technical-Vocational Center 25,952 gross square feet In an effort to provide instructional and learning spaces for vocational education programs designed to meet the needs of the West Shore Community College area, it is proposed that a TechnicalVocational Center be constructed on the college campus as a part of the second phase of the development of the institution. The facility is necessary in order to provide permanent spaces for certain occupation centered programs and to allow for expanded curricular offerings to students in the community college and high school students who will participate in the area vocational center programs established for their benefit. Because of the unique nature of the programs and services to be provided in the Technical-Vocational Education Center, there are no facilities near the campus, or in the communities of the college district, which could meet adequately the educational objectives to be accommodated by this facility. For the first year of operation, the technical-vocational courses will be in temporary housing leased for this purpose. Special Features 1. A satellite Instructional Media Center will be the hub of this building. 2. The lab areas will radiate from the hub. 3. The Instructional Media Center will also serve the faculty by providing tutorial spaces and work areas. 4. All lab spaces will be open and so any individual space may be enlarged without interfering with other spaces. 5. Outside service areas, such as parking for the auto lab, will be between two shop wings thus requiring less fencing and also removing these areas from sight. 7. The three general classrooms in this building may be used not only for technical instruction but for general studies as well. Note: A copy of the space utilization page from the Capital Outlay Program statement as submitted to the Bureau of Higher Education may be found in the appendix. It must be kept in mind that this page is part of the original educational specifications furnished to the architect. Therefore, the spaces shown on this page will vary from the exact square feet in the building as the natural result of architectural planning. Instructional Media Center 28,203 gross square feet In order to provide students, instructors, and citizens of the West Shore Community College service area with an Instructional Media Center facility commensurate with their needs and in keeping with the service function of the college, it is proposed that the third phase of construction include an Instructional Media Center (library) which will serve a projected student body of 1,050 F.T.E. students. The proposed structure will incorporate a large group instruction area, temporary classroom space, and faculty offices in addition to the multi-purpose space essential to the operation of a college library and instructional media center. Flexibility will be the key to space utilization in the Instructional Media Center and many of the accommodations planned for future library and Instructional Media Center uses will be used initially as classroom and office spaces. As the college population grows, as new instructional programs are introduced, and as the library collection grows, this facility will be converted to more complete use as an Instructional Media Center (library). Special 6. The existing trees on the campus provide an excellent background against which this center will be placed and also provide screening and wind shelter for the necessary service drives and areas to the rear of the building. 12 Features L T h i s building will serve the entire campus as a library and instructional media center with books, periodicals, reference materials, audiovisual aids, seminar rooms, reading rooms, and individual study carrels. 2. A large group instruction facility with rear screen projection, demonstration platform, fine arts and humanities exhibition capabilities will serve the student body and related community service program activities. 3. A group of faculty offices designed to accommodate the personnel from the divisions of humanities and fine arts, communications and foreign languages, and social sciences will be a part of this structure. 4. Convertible general classroom space will consume a portion of this building in the first years of its use with consideration for the incorporation of a planetarium in a portion of the convertible area. Note: A copy of the space utilization page from the Capital Outlay Program statement as submitted to the Bureau of Higher Education may be found in the appendix. It must be kept in mind that this page is part of the original educational specifications furnished to the architect. Therefore, the spaces shown on this page will vary from the exact square feet in the building as the natural result of architectural planning. Health, Physical Education & Recreation 25,000 gross square feet It is the philosophy of West Shore Community College, as set forth in Board Policy No. 3003.1, that in the area of athletics every college-age student (with certain exceptions) be required to accumulate three (3) credits (one year) in physical education activities. The physical education program will stress the participant carry-over sports rather than spectator sports. The activities that will be offered initially will be summer and winter outdoor and indoor sports which are available through the facilities found in neighboring communities. As can be seen in the campus plan, a Health, Physical Education and Recreation building is planned in the fourth phase of campus development. This building will provide instructional spaces for recreation activities, physical education classes, and intramural sports. The topography of the campus suggests many outdoor sports and recreation activi- ties such as a beginner ski slope, skating pond, archery, tennis, golf, curling, a skeet range, fish ponds and plots for use in conservation and agricultural classes. A small bore rifle and pistol range will also be available for use in conjunction with law enforcement programs. Today one of the growing employment fields is that of the public service occupations including careers in the parks and recreation management fields. Accordingly, an important part of the total program at West Shore Community College will be a curriculum in parks and recreation management. It is envisioned that portions of the eastern 200 acres of the campus will be used as an outdoor laboratory for instruction in the parks and recreation field. Note: The space designated is merely an estimate at this time, while the educational specifications, for this building, are being developed. General Studies Buildings #1 - 25,000 square feet #2 - 30,600 square feet To this point, the buildings proposed for the West Shore Community College campus provide mainly for the facilities required by the TechnicalVocational studies program and the Instructional Media Center. Within the Technical-Vocational Center and the Instructional Media Center are classrooms which will be incidental to their-programs until the full-time, equated enrollment reaches 525 students. Up to that time, it is intended that these classrooms will fulfill the needs of the academic and general studies. In 1972-73, when the equated enrollment exceeds 575, it will be necessary to provide separate buildings to house laboratory and studio space for all the academic subjects. It is anticipated that the academic classroom facilities may very well be housed in two separate buildings. These buildings will accommodate a number of laboratories, studios, and classrooms to serve the needs of a wide range of courses from communications through the humanities and into mathematics and the exact sciences. Space will be provided for all the normal classroom activities as well as special activities in the area of fine arts. It is expected that these two buildings together will contain a total of 55,600 square feet. 13 �The first academic classroom building will be constructed to meet the needs of the campus population in the humanities, communications, science mathematics and social sciences. Both added student stations and faculty office accommodations will need to be expanded as the student population reaches a full-time equated student enrollment of 575-600. locate an area vocational center somewhere north of the City of Manistee. Future Expansion Funding The Area Vocational Center will provide shops, laboratories,- and classrooms to facilitate such programs as auto mechanic instruction, an advanced secretarial program, commercial food preparation, business studies, and others. Technical-Vocational Center Note: The space designated is merely an estimate at this time, while the educational specifications for this building are being developed. The funding for construction of the several phases of campus development will be met through a combination of local, state and federal resources. Phase I of construction, the Student Services Center, is being constructed entirely with local funds gained through a $750,000 bond program. Housing Facilities Area Vocational Center Facilities Some of the secondary school districts located in the northern portion of the West Shore Community College district have neither the enrollment nor the resources available to adequately provide the vocational training that is so essential for today's youth as they move away from their educational years into their productive years. The schools make a very good start in several exploratory areas but are unable to give the depth of instruction that is needed. The area vocational unit of the college, by combining the students and resources of the several school districts, will provide the additional training necessary to insure the students a better chance to achieve successful business or industrial career placement during their productive years. The college district Vocational Study indicates the number of students that will be in the secondary school population during the period 1969-75. Referring to a study made in Kent County by a Kent County school administrator, it may be determined that 15% of the students would attend an area vocational school. Basing our figures on this percentage factor, it appears that the college should provide a vocational school capable of serving 300 students in four to five basic service areas. The location of the Area Vocational Center must be convenient to the area high schools. The present campus will adequately serve the southern portion of the college district but several schools in the northern areas of the district might find the driving distance too great for daily transportation of students. Therefore, it may be desirable to 14 The philosophy of the Board of Trustees of West Shore Community College regarding housing is in conformity with that of the State Plan for Higher Education, which states, "that the presence of a residence hall at a community college is contradictory to the fundamental principle underlying the community college concept as a commuting institution." However, there may be circumstances under which a residence hall is appropriate. At such time that circumstances may justify a residence hall on campus, the Board of Trustees will want to consider the construction of such housing to serve the requirements of students from within or from outside the college service area. The campus is large enough to accommodate housing in the event that circumstances require it. Although not shown graphically on the Long Range Development Plan map, it is anticipated that it would be located immediately east of student parking lot "C." Full-time enrollments (based on the projections of the 18 and 19 year old population 1969-79) should reach 1,050 by 1978-79. In order to accommodate the additional student body and faculty personnel, additional technical-vocational spaces will be needed. These spaces will be used not only for the post-secondary teaching courses and the adult evening classes but also for the area vocational center offerings. This construction will provide additional spaces for Technical-Vocational units that will be added to meet the growing enrollment at the college. It is anticipated that this addition will provide space for auto-body repair, fluid power instruction, heavy equipment repair shop, law enforcement, data processing, civil technology, graphics, conservation, and food services. Phase I I , the construction of the TechnicalVocational Center and Phase I I I , the Instructional Media Center, will be financed through a 1.5 million dollar bond supported by local tax revenues, capital grants from the Michigan Legislature, and Higher Education Facilities Act monies granted the college under Title I of the United States Office of Education. It is also expected that subsequent phases of construction will be supported through local funds augmented by state and federal grants. Instructional Media Center Eventual F.Y.E.S. enrollment (based on projections of the 18 and 19 year old population 1969-79) will be at least 1,050. The eventual capacity of the book collection is between 75,000-100,000 volumes. In order to accommodate the additional student body, faculty personnel, and increased book collection, additional seating space and shelving space will be necessary. The development of the educational program at West Shore Community College is geared to the incorporation of new instructional media such as video-tape and instructional television, with possible eventual inclusion of computer-assisted instruction. A fully developed tele-communications center of this magnitude will also require additional space. The Instructional Media Center addition will be a single story structure of approximately 8,300 square feet designed to accommodate all of these expansion needs. Included also will be additional seminar and group study rooms. Suqw Grows Rs*d 15 �VI. PHYSICAL PLANNING OBJECTIVES Site Characteristics The 370 acre site selected for West Shore Community College is indicative of the outstanding natural beauty which is common to western, central Michigan. It is endowed with heavy stands of pines, mature hardwoods, gently rolling meadow land, and a beautifully wooded ravine with a creek running down to the South Branch of the Lincoln River. The most outstanding single asset of the site is the wooded ravine which runs north and south dividing the campus into two distinct land units. Starting near Sugar Grove Road, it runs in a northwesterly direction and opens on the South Branch of the Lincoln River Valley. The dramatic change in elevation created by this ravine provides exciting views of the creek as it meanders down to the river. The greater portion of the site east of the ravine is composed of gently rolling, open meadow land. To the west is a smaller rolling meadow bordered on the west side by a large plantation of pines and on the north by a heavy stand of mature hardwoods. The rolling topography provides the area with a sense of enclosure and separation from Sugar Gove Road to the south. �Development Concept Very generally, the site breaks down into three possible zones of development: the two areas of open meadow land and the ravine slopes. The recommended approach to the campus development exploits the aesthetic advantages offered by the ravine and the excellent deciduous tree cover which occupies the land sloping toward the South Branch of the Lincoln River. This concept is structured around two very important premises: 1. In the interest of preserving the natural beauty of the site, the campus should be devoted to the pedestrian. 2. In order to take best advantage of this beauty, most development should relate directly to the ravine. �VII. PHYSICAL PLANNING PROPOSALS COM*p<iS infer/or Stafcuf Services J3dq. famine Building Organization The total complex of buildings focuses on a "campus green" around which the campus is organized. Each of the buildings has been located with respect to its function, and the total complex is tied together by a strong, well-ordered pedestrian walkway network. Such a network is essential to a well organized "pedestrian campus." Stale buM^e dffewls view ^rw -free ^>ps ' ffed€S+Ha»A tualK Terrace allows vietu Wo (twine — Student Services Center - ravine relationship Instructional Media Center Student Services Center The Student Services Center is located very near the geographic center of development and is oriented toward the ravine. Here it is within an easy five minute walking distance from all other buildings where it can effectively serve both the administrative needs of the college and the social needs of the student body. The lounge and dining room, interior spaces which serve the "leisure time" activities of the student, are positioned so that they receive full benefit of the views into the ravine. Technical-Vocational Center Pedestrian Circulation 20 The Technical-Vocational Center is located to the west of the "campus green" with its shops and outdoor service yard oriented away from the campus interior. The pine plantation to the west of the building helps to screen the auto storage and service area from view. Room for expansion of this facility has been provided immediately to the north. Oriented to the public and located with relation to the major campus vehicular circulation system is the Instructional Media Center. This facility serves both the campus and related community service program activities. From an academic standpoint, this is probably the most important building on the campus and as such should establish the visual image of West Shore Community College. Its location makes this possible. Health, Physical Education & Recreation Building and Facilities The facilities will be located on the east side of the ravine near the pedestrian bridge. The open meadow there provides space for open field games (soccer, baseball, track, tennis, etc.) and a physical education and recreation building. Both are within an easy five minute walking distance to the Student Services Building at the center of the campus development. The greater portion of the 200 acres to the east of the ravine will be devoted to outdoor sports and recreation activities such as skating, archery, golf, skeet shooting, conservation and agricultural classes as well as serving as an outdoor laboratory for courses in parks and recreation management. 21 �Circulation and Parking 0ptrt M a o edw General Studies Buildings Vehicular penetration into the site is from both Sugar Grove Road on the south and Stiles Road on the west. The major campus circulation pattern consists of one loop road which connects these two entry points to the campus. All parking lots and dropoff points are served from this major vehicular circulator. The visual attention of the motorist entering the campus by way of Sugar Grove Road or Stiles Road is focused on the Instructional Media Center and the maior point of arrival adjacent to it where visitor parking is available. This major "point of arrival" is intended to serve as a reception point for the visitor to the campus. Here busses will stop to allow groups (school classes, community clubs, etc.) to disembark as they arrive to visit the planetarium or attend a lecture or other community oriented program in the Instructional Media Center. The "point of arrival" is convenient also for visitors who are destined for the administrative offices in the Student Services Center. Mowd i Buffer Rcwfaq Rlrkmoj tot "C" Vehicular Circulation Two building groups housing general academic classroom space have, like the Student Services Building, been given choice physical environments. One is located on the wooded slope which orients toward the South Branch of the Lincoln River Valley. The other occupies the ravine slope to the southeast of the Student Services Building. Because of the slope of the land, these buildings could be a two story-split level design. The main entrance could be at the upper level on the uphill side of the slope with the lower level opening onto the ravine. ^ A pedestrian bridge links the two open meadows near the Student Services Building. This link is strategically located in that it is near the geographic center of development and, as such, provides easy access to the athletic facilities to the east. Access to potential future college development to the east would also be convenient. S E C T I O N U » K I N & UOftTH FpOM S U S A P GftOVE ftp. Student Parking In keeping with the initial premise that West Shore Community College should be a pedestrian campus, three large student parking lots are provided on the perimeter of the building zone. Each of these lots is, to a large degree, visually screened from the major vehicular circulator. Lot " A " accommodates approximately 205 cars and is tucked into the pine plantation on the west side of the Technical-Vocational Center. Lot " B " is located in the extreme southwest corner of the site. This facility will handle about 280 cars. Located just east of the Sugar Grove Road entrance is Lot " C " which accommodates about 320 cars. The total parking count for student parking Lots " A " , " B " , and " C " is 805 cars. Based on a 2 to 1 parking ratio of students to cars, the number of parking spaces required to serve 1,500 students is 750. The 55 car excess in these lots will be spaces assigned to faculty, staff, or visitor use. Faculty, Staff and Visitor Parking General 22 Studies Building - ravine relationship Immediately north of the Sugar Grove Road entrance student parking lot is a faculty, staff, and visitor lot which will accommodate about 140 cars. This in conjunction with the 30 visitor spaces available at the visitor arrival point brings the total designated faculty, staff, and visitor parking count to 170 spaces. Based on the ratio of one parking space for each 6 2/3 students, the anticipated 1978-79 head count enrollment of 1,500 students would require 225 spaces for the faculty, staff, and visitors. The total number of parking spaces (students and faculty, staff and visitors) required to serve the anticipated enrollment of 1,500 by the year of 1978 would be 975. Lot " D " and the 30 spaces at the visitor arrival point provides a total of 170 faculty, staff, and visitor parking spaces. The apparent 55 car deficiency in this category is made up by the "assigned" faculty, staff, and visitor spaces in Lots " A " and " C . " 23 �APPENDIX Utilities All utilities necessary to serve the college are convenient to the campus. Storm drainage, fresh water and sanitary sewage will be handled within the confines of the campus while natural gas and electric power are available from sources outside the site. Sanitary Sewage Storm water will be picked up in catch basins and carried to nearby streams or the Lincoln River by means of an underground storm sewer system. Water The source of all water will be from wells on the site. The initial 6 " well provides 150 to 200 gallons of water per minute and will serve the first two buildings to be built. It is planned that each well station will be provided with a hydrant and storage tank the capacity of which will be sized to allow local fire departments to replenish their water supplies for fire protection. Storm Drainage With good porous soil available, a septic tank with tile fields will be used for waste disposal for each building. Electric Power Capital Outlay Program Statement for Technical-Vocational Education Unit An electrical substation is being built on the western edge of the campus adjacent to Stiles Road. The electrical service to the campus is accomplished by extending primary underground electrical cables from the substation to a primary switchgear enclosure centrally located between the b u i l d i n g s . The voltage delivered will be 12470/7400 volts with metering at the substation. Two services will be installed with one of the services being a spare. From the switchgear enclosure individual services will be extended to each building through an underground distribution system. Within the buildings, transformers will supply 120/208 volts single phase, 208 or 480 volts three phase. This system is of a capacity to accommodate a total of twenty-five buildings of a size similar to Unit # 1 .

The gas service was sized at 4 " with a capacity for 40,000 square feet which would serve approximately ten buildings. The mains were routed to serve the five units presently planned and a physical education unit located across the stream and east of the proposed five units. The gas will serve as fuel for the boilers, hot water heaters, heat treat furnaces, science room burners, incinerator, kitchen equipment, and miscellaneous student teaching aids. 24 Offices Divisional Chairman Secretary Workroom Faculty: Single Double 1 1 1 150 100 136 150 100 136 9 1 86 144 772 144 1,302 3,331 Sub Totals 13 Auxiliary Service Spaces Grand Total - Square Feet 24,100 *The assignable area is an exact figure while the square foot allowance is rounded off to eliminate fractions. 25 �Capital Outlay Program Statement for Student Services Building Capital Outlay Program Statement for Instructional Media Center Unit Student Services Building Space Allocations Instructional Media Center Space Allocations Space Description No. of Rooms Station Units Per Room Number of Student/Reader Office Stations 250 40 17 18 Square Ft.* Allowance Per Station 250 80 17 18 Assignable Area in Square Ft.

B Sponsorship and purposes of a citizens* participatory study should be thoroughly understood by everyone. C There should be a source of dependable revenue f o r adequately financing a citizens* study. D Members of a citizens* study should be o f f i c i a l l y appointed, even though they are self-nominated or nominated by others, by the sponsoring authority or authorities. E Membership of a citizens* study should be i n s u f f i c i e n t numbers: 1 t o guarantee representation of a l l viewpoints of the organizations, groups, and individuals to be affected by the conclusions of the study; and 2 to guarantee communication of the conclusions of the study as we3JL as a l l factors related t o those conclusions. F A l l citizens cannot be expected t o be technical experts i n determining the kinds of data that are pertinent to the conclusions of a study or the most e f f i c i e n t methods of gathering or organizing such data. Thus, f o r a citizens* study to be e f f i c i e n t and objectively defensible, trained and experienced technical assistants should be employed, both on a part-time and a f u l l - t i m e basis. In recognition of these principles, the sponsoring board should consider: 1 the employment of a professional coordinator of the study; 2 the employment, f o r short-term or specialized tasks, of specialists or technicians. G Even though certain data are gathered and interpreted by technicians and professional experts, the conclusions drawn from such data should be developed or at least completely sanctioned by the participating citizens. H To be t o t a l l y effective, a citizens* study should receive the greatest possible degree of p u b l i c i t y through such mass media as newspapers and radio and television outlets. Such publicity should be directed toward: 1 the purposes of the study; 2 the membership and organization of the study; 3 the day-by-day e f f o r t s of the committees of the study; and 4 the conclusions and recommendations of the study, at such time as these are f i n a l l y formalized. I Target dates, at least tentative ones, should be established early i n the study f o r the completion of various stages of i t . To implement t h i s principle, a calendar f o r the completion of each element of the study and the holding of the various meetings should be developed at the outset. J The results of a citizens* study 3hould be published, preferably i n a complete as well as i n a condensed form. These published results should be widely available to a l l citizens t o be concerned. 5/16/62, 8/14/63 �'t*~Spf / % LUDINGTON AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 1 O. J .
