The Need to Look Long Range
• State funding has decreased by $64 million over the last biennium,
and further decreases are expected
• HCC’s 53 square feet per student in a classroom is only 66% of the
national average of 80 square feet per student*
• Unable to meet students’ needed scheduling demands
• Need to upgrade classrooms and labs with latest technology to create
the learning space of the future
• Need to ensure campuses are as conducive to student learning
as possible

2. Facilities 2012 Bond Program
The 2012 bond program will ensure that each HCC college will have new or
renovated facilities and the technology to meet student needs, especially in
high-demand areas such as health sciences, as well as science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) education.
