Accomplishments
A Facilities Master Plan (FMP) is currently in development, to guide facilities advancement over the coming ten years. The FMP
needs analysis and options development phases occurred in 2016; a recommendation will be in development in Winter 2017,
with the final recommendation scheduled to be presented to the Board of Trustees in late Spring 2017.
At the Ocean Campus, the facility condition index of existing structures – along with the layout, structural system, and viability
for adaptive reuse for modern instructional needs – informs decisions about renovating versus replacing buildings. The facility
condition index (FCI) is a benchmark used to support asset management initiatives in federal, state, and local government
facilities organizations.
Mathematically the FCI is represented as
FCI =
Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Deficiencies of the Facility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Current Replacement Value of the Facility
CCSF’s Ocean Campus has many aged facilities that are approaching or have exceeded their service lives, and are candidates
for replacement as indicated below.
The Ocean Campus is situated along Ocean Avenue, west of Highway 280, and bordering the Sunnyside neighborhood to the
north. The facilities master planning process is developing a focus on reorienting the campus toward Ocean Avenue, and
creating inviting pedestrian, bicycle and transit-oriented gateways along this major thoroughfare. Additional gateways along
Phelan Avenue are intended to seamlessly connect the west and east sides of the campus. Lesser though equally important
gateways are needed at entry points to the north, from the Sunnyside neighborhood. Gateways are indicated below with blue
stars.
Organization of the campus into academic, student services and athletic zones is indicated below. Of significant impact is the
planned development of the Balboa Reservoir, for high density residential housing. The Balboa Reservoir is owned by the
Public Utilities Commission, and has been used by CCSF for decades as surface parking. Elimination of the approximately
1,000 parking spaces on that site will reduce Ocean Campus parking by 34%. Through the facilities master planning initiative,
facilities such as pedestrian and bicycle friendly circulation pathways, bicycle storage, and enhanced gateways near transit
stations are being developed to encourage those transportation modes, while also restoring lost parking capacity through
structured parking. CCSF is coordinating its facilities master plan development with the San Francisco Planning Department,
San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, Bay Area Rapid Transit,
and California Department of Transportation.
The draft preferred facilities master plan option as it has been developed to date is indicated below. Next steps include
development of a final preference for the Ocean Campus, with continued input from CCSF faculty, students, staff,
administrators, governing Board, neighborhood and business associations, along with continued coordination and collaboration
with City, Regional and State agencies. The final preferred option will then be developed further to include possible
implementation sequences and schedules, cost estimates, and identification of potential financing opportunities.
Aside from the Ocean Campus, CCSF owns or leases 10 other instructional and administrative sites. CCSF’s facilities master
planning initiative includes condition and utilization analyses for each of the instructional sites, allowing the College District to
coordinate its educational and facilities master plans in future decision making. Some District Administrative Offices are
currently located at 33 Gough Street. In October 2016, the Board of Trustees approved a long-term ground lease for a developer
to construct multi-family housing at that site, including 33% inclusive housing to increase San Francisco’s overall and affordable
housing capacity. Plans are underway to relocate the affected District administrative functions to the Ocean Campus.
The Facilities Master Plan recommendation will be presented to the Board of Trustees in Spring 2017 for consideration and
adoption.

Renewal Program
California community colleges track their facilities space inventory, space utilization, and facilities condition assessments using
a Statewide online database called FUSION. This data is updated routinely, with annual certification reporting to the California
Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. The FUSION data shows a current capital renewal need of $524 million and a deferred
maintenance backlog of $18 million.
Renewal projects planned in the next two years include:
• Utility infrastructure replacement at Ocean Campus: this $62 million project is funded out of the California Chancellor’s
Office Capital Outlay Program, which received an infusion of funds for a backlogged pipeline of deferred projects with
the passage of State Proposition 51 on the November 2016 election. The scope of work includes replacement of aged
water distribution, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, natural gas distribution, electrical distribution, heating distribution,
fire and life safety systems, emergency notification, site lighting, video surveillance, and energy management systems.
• Ocean Campus Boiler #1 firebox repairs: this $200,000 project is funded out of the California Chancellor’s Office
Physical Plant and Instructional Support Program, and includes brickwork and insulation repairs to Boiler #1, which
provides steam heat to the majority of buildings on the campus.
• Ocean Campus Roof repairs: this $350,000 project is funded out of the California Chancellor’s Office Physical Plant
and Instructional Support Program, and includes roof membrane repairs and replacement to various buildings.
• Districtwide Asphalt and Concrete Repairs: this $100,000 project is funded out of the California Chancellor’s Office
Physical Plant and Instructional Support Program, and includes repairs and replacement to failed asphalt and concrete
flatwork at all District locations as needed.
• Districtwide Painting: this $350,000 project is funded out of the California Chancellor’s Office Physical Plant and
Instructional Support Program, and includes interior and exterior re-painting at all District locations as needed.
• Ocean Campus Data Center Cooling and Backup Power Upgrades at Batmale Hall: this $175,000 project is funded out
of the California Chancellor’s Office Physical Plant and Instructional Support Program, and will bring cooling and
power reliability to the District’s data center.
Enhancements
Planned enhancements to CCSF facilities to improve safety and functionality include:
•
•
•
•
Civic Center (750 Eddy Street) seismic and code upgrades: this $11.3 million project, funded out of the California
Chancellor’s Office Capital Outlay Program, will bring structural integrity into current building code conformance.
Concurrently, upgrades will be made to mechanical, plumbing, electrical, communication, building envelope, interior
walls, floors and ceilings as required by code and to facilitate seismic enhancements. Plans and specifications will be
developed in fiscal year 2017-18; permitting through the Division of the State Architect is anticipated to occur in the
first half of fiscal year 2018-19. Construction procurement is anticipated in the second half of fiscal year 2018-19.
Construction is anticipated to take 18 months.
Classroom technology enhancements: this $1.65 million project, funded out of the California Chancellor’s Office
Physical Plant and Instructional Support Program, as well as an Adult Education Block Grant, will continue efforts to
provide upgraded instructional technology in classrooms across the District.
Wayfinding and compliance signage upgrades at all locations: this $100,000 project, funded out of the California
Chancellor’s Office Physical Plant and Instructional Support Program, will provide upgraded signage at all District
locations as needed for enhanced wayfinding. It also includes enhanced signage related to parking, traffic, and smoking
compliance.
