2.  The demand for Smart Rooms has increased with each semester.  The demand for Computer Labs has also increased.  More classes competing for specialized classroom space.

3.  The three-day per week existing time blocks currently ends at 2:00 PM. We have expanded them to meet until 3:55 PM. This allows instructors who need to utilize a three-day per week schedule to have a wider variety of times to offer their classes.  An analysis of the students attending School of Education classes indicated that the greatest majority of those students taking three-hour classes were still coming to campus two nights per week. If the faculty member chooses, the new schedule allows for them to follow a two- day per week pattern if it’s suitable to the course content.  May improve graduation rates by eliminating time conflicts for classes needed by students to graduate.
