In order to ensure that the College continues to serve the needs of its constituencies into the future, physical resource areas are governed by policies, regulations and standard practices, which flow from the mission statement. So that this future is well planned, master plans for education, facilities and information technology are developed to support the College mission, ensuring all units share in physical resource improvements. Ongoing physical resource activities are well supported by state, county and tuition funds. In addition, bond proceeds ensure movement toward campus comprehensiveness and technological currency. Purchasing acts as a faithful and prudent steward of state and local tax monies, striking a fine balance between quality and value.
