7. RESISTANCE DURING THE CHANGE PROCESS
• Communication for this relocation was sent whenever there
was a change in the status of the relocation and a timetable
was given so that no one is kept in the dark about the
changes.
• Because of the lack of space that the campus has, the move
was received.
• There was some opposition from those who do not accept
change as well as other.
• Some employees felt that the school was wasting money.

9. POST-IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
QCC's downtown campus will span nearly 73,000 square feet
across three floors of the Franklin Street building, Carberry said,
and will eventually serve 2,000 students.
• Delays in renovating the 20 Franklin St. building mean QCC
will only be able to move a portion of its slated programs
downtown for the fall semester….
• "We're hoping that a lot of it is ready" (QCC President Gail Carberry)
• "This is bringing further vitality and life to our downtown"
(City Manager Ed Augustus)
