E N D
Health and Exercise Science Classroom Proposal Presented to the UTFABFebruary 2, 2015Dave Carpenter, Director of IT, College of Health and Human Sciences
CHHS Background • Very high enrollment college • 6 academic departments and 2 schools • 5 of the 15 largest undergrad majors at CSU • 3of the 15 largest graduate majors at CSU • As of fall 2014: • 4710 undergraduate students enrolled • 653 graduate students enrolled
Health and Exercise Science (HES) • HES is an internationally renowned department and is extremely popular at CSU • 1418 undergraduate majors • 36 graduate majors • High demands on student technology, most of which supported by the CHHS CFT fee • HES is housed primarily in the Moby B-Wing, which is overfilled
New HES Academic Building • HES is currently building a new academic building to the north of the Moby B-Wing • Building was largely funded by HES, with support from the UFFAB, Provost, and College • Due to a number of factors, the project is over budget
New HES Academic Building • Building consists solely of two academic spaces: • One departmental teaching lab, seating around 30 students • One general assignment (GA) classroom, seating around 100 students • Both will be configured as active learning spaces, creating a transformative learning environment • Additionally, the GA classroom will include collaboration enhancing technology
The Problem • For a variety of reasons, the building project is over budget, and furnishings are no longer included in the project • High quality instructional technology is imperative to the success of HES students • CHHS and HES have some funds to help outfit the building with state-of-the-art technology, but not enough to fund 100%
The Proposal • Cost-share the instructional and collaboration technology in the GA classroom in the new HES building • Instructional and collaborative technology cost has been estimated at $101,795 for the building • $25,000 for installation, $76,795 for equipment • Of this, $61,605 is estimated to be associated with the GA classroom • This includes standard smart classroom equipment, such as a projector, screen, lectern, audio, and document camera as well as collaboration enhancing technology (such as LED screens and all necessary control systems)
The Proposal, cont. • If approved, the college would plan on cost-sharing the classroom technology in the GA classroom at 50% • Funding would come from a variety of sources internal to the college • Proposed impact to the University Technology Fee: $30,800 • Project completion is scheduled during the spring of 2015
