Initiative Title	Expansion of BATCAVERN I (BT 155)
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2007
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	BATCAVERN I (BT 155) served over 4,500 students during AY 06 through AY 07 providing a computerized environment where students can do online research, review course materials (notes, DVDs, anatomic models), take self-assessment tests for concept review, engage in small study groups or receive tutoring. The facility is managed by 2 site supervisors.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Vital services will be limited by constrained physical space, lack of necessary equipment/instructional supplies and by restrictive operational hours. This will reduce the delivery of essential services to students and negatively effect their academic success, persistence and retention.
