| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The lab in the Dental Hygiene Clinical area is meant for dental materials lab and is not conducive to instruction of other skills. It is too small to seat all 20 students at one time and fit the educational technology that is available. We also need to update the educational technology and projection capabilities. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Our students, faculty and staff will continue to make do with whatever space we can adapt to use. Currently, we are using the reception area to project demonstrations of instrumentation skills with the ELMO. The clinic lab is too small to fit 20 students and the ELMO. Perhaps more stools and a smart tv with video capability would assist with this problem but a designated room would also allow us to store teaching/learning materials as well. |

| Department Goals | To acquire a designated classroom/lab for the Dental Hygiene students in the Bio Tech building with projection capabilities and updated technology and equipment. |

Institutional Goals
| Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011
- 6. To build and maintain safe, accessible and sustainable facilities that support the learning environment.
|
Teaching/learning environment is not even close to ideal for the students in the reception area. |
- MIDDLESTATES
- Standard 3: Institutional Resources
- e: The college should interface the budget process with the strategic plan to insure established priorities receive adequate resources. The process should ensure adequate faculty, staff and administration equipment and facilities are available to support the institution’s mission and outcomes expectations.
|
The facilities for our program have not changed in over 40 years but the increase in technology and expectations of students has changed. The faculty have made the best of an unsatisfactory situation but expect improved conditions for the students and their teaching strategies. |
- STRATEGIC
- Priority I: Refine and strengthen the College’s Academic Master Plan. Implementation of the Academic Master Plan will be supported by a Facilities Plan, a Technology Plan, a Resource Development Plan and an Enrollment Management Plan.

Order |
| We share BT 320 with other departments but most of the time we are using the reception area in the clinic to do demonstrations with the projector. Our department secretary requests rooms when we can plan a presentation but there is no flexibility |
