FORT OMAHA CAMPUS Recommendations
A B
See Area-Wide Recommendations Student Support 1. Observations: – MCC student support functions are currently sprinkled throughout FOC, isolated from each other, making them difficult to find. – Co-locating similar or complementary functions could promote internal collaboration, communication, and efficiency. 2. Recommendations: – Co-locate and coordinate student-facing service functions within Building 23 to include: • a one-stop service model • activation of high enrollment courses and programs • plan for amenities/activities that support life/ learning balance 3.

C
Marine Corps Reserve 1. Observations: – Building 20 has exceeded both indoor and outdoor capacity for facilities operations. Because it functions as the central location for all of MCC facilities management, the current building hinders efficient operations and growth. – Marine Corps Reserve property just north of FOC has ample indoor and outdoor room to be utilized as a facilities operations hub. 2. Recommendation: – Secure Marine Corps Reserve property to the north when available over time. – Relocate facilities management functions from Building 20. – Consider a career academy high school at this location. 3. Reference: – Planning discussion with facilities department. – Growth in partnerships with area high schools for dual enrollment programming.
