The committee reviewed the Facilities Master Plan for Orange County Community College, which outlines a multi-phase, 10-year strategy for campus renovations. Key discussion topics included the transition toward organizing academic programs into physical 'neighborhoods' to improve student retention and graduation rates, aligning facility upgrades with workforce needs, and the proposed relocation of specific departments between buildings on the Middletown and Newburgh campuses. The plan focuses on maximizing current square footage through renovation rather than new construction, and participants discussed the financial synergy between local and state funding for these projects.
