Comprehensive Educational and Facilities Master Plan
Developed collaboratively with a vibrant and engaged three-campus community, the purpose of the Comprehensive Master Plan is to guide the District through 2030, and serve as the measuring stick by which future educational programs and facilities investments will be evaluated.

The EFMP is grounded in internal realities, such as the current systems and programs, and integrates external influences, such as demographic trends and the community’s educational interests and workforce needs.
The EFMP is comprised of two parts: The primary driver is the Educational Master Plan (EMP), and its directions and needs are supported by the Facilities Master Plan (FMP). Combined, these elements create a ten-year roadmap for NOCCCD, which will guide planning efforts, strategic plans, program reviews, and allocation of resources.
Though guided by planners and architects, the Master Plan is, at its core, a District, campus, and community effort. A successful plan combines critical input from students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members, and all of these groups have been intrinsically involved in this document’s creation.
As such, within the EFMP, any reference to the District represents the campus communities of Cypress College, Fullerton College, North Orange Continuing Education, and District Services. This includes students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
Educational Master Plan
A good plan requires a strong framework, with flexibility in its application. As the world changes, this plan will need to be revisited in order to keep it current. The Educational Master Plan was developed with collaboration across the District and with community members for the purposes of:
- Projecting the long-term development of programs and services
- Developing District-wide strategic directions and goals
- Providing a framework for the development of the Facilities Master Plan, as well as other plans such as strategic plans and program reviews
- Informing the public of NOCCCD’s intentions and garnering support for the services provided in and to the community
- Providing a common foundation for discussion about NOCCCD programs
- Supporting accreditation and demonstrating compliance with accreditation standards
Past plans, program reviews, strategic plans, and data collected by the District provided the foundation for the new EFMP.
Facilities Master Plan
The Facilities Master Plan (FMP) will evaluate and determine the physical plan across all campuses in the District. The objective is to:
- Appraise current and future spatial needs
- Identify building and facility sustainability requirements
- Establish priorities related to instructional and support spaces
- Formulate project costs
- Recommend a resource allocation plan for each campus
The FMP acknowledges planning and construction already underway and builds upon previous facilities plans. Based on the directions set forth in the EMP, the FMP also provides high level space planning for all of the campuses and centers through 2030.
The District Integrated Planning Model
This EFMP is the long-term plan in the District's integrated planning cycle. Each step of the planning model links to one another, with data collection and analyses leading to plan development, resource allocation, plan implementation, and assessment of the plan's outcomes that subsequently leads to program improvement and the next cycle of plan development.
Preparation for the Plan
The EFMP planning process is an investment in advancing our collective vision to create a welcoming learning environment in support of student success. The planning process also informs critical decision making to ensure that our efforts are aligned with State initiatives, such as Vision for Success, Guided Pathways, and the new Student Centered Funding Formula. It is an opportunity to build consensus among students, faculty, staff, and management to reimagine and refresh our approach to educational and facilities planning.
Though guided by planners, architects and consulting experts, the EFMP is, at its core, a District, campus, and community effort. A successful plan is only built with critical input from students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members.
In summer of 2019, NOCCCD began collecting information through surveys, community meetings, and internal analysis to guide the Comprehensive EFMP.

Steering Committee
The EFMP Steering Committee will guide the District-wide development, review and vetting of the Plan, including analysis of data and input, as well as the discussion of key findings and recommendations. The recommendations will be presented to the appropriate governance committees; campus staff, students and administration; community members; District administration; and the NOCCCD Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees will vote on the final draft of the 2021-2030 EFMP before implementation.
Purpose
The EFMP Steering Committee's purpose is to serve as a District-wide recommending body for the planning process. The committee is tasked with overseeing the assessment of the external and internal environment at Cypress College, Fullerton College, North Orange Continuing Education and District Services. The committee provides recommendations on instructional and support programs, technology, facilities, and recommendations for future plans that meet the changing needs of students and the communities served by the District.
Functions
During the planning process, committee members will provide oversight on the scope of work, timeline and recommendations to and from Brailsford & Dunlavey with Moore Ruble Yudell Architects and Planners.
The EFMP Steering Committee will:
- Meet once (1) a month for 2 hours from September 2019 through April 30, 2020 or Final Presentation to the Board of Trustees, whichever comes first
- Guide and, when necessary, assist the consultants with information gathering, oversight of the timeline and work plan for the four entities: Cypress College, Fullerton College, North Orange Continuing Education, and District Services
- Assist in formulating pertinent questions, themes and priorities in preparation for District-wide and community engagement from all identified constituents
Priorities include but are not limited to:
- Visioning and strategic analysis
- Data gathering and analysis
- Analysis of current and future demographic and economic data
- Developing new District-wide Strategic Directions
- Discuss and resolve problems, concerns, and/or issues regarding the planning process
Committee members will make all attempts to talk openly about concerns until consensus is achieved and communicated to consultants and leadership.
