Inspire 2035

Previous Projects 2011 Facilities Master Plans. The 2011 FMPs for Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College were adopted to serve as a "blueprint for future development" of the campuses from 2011 through the year 2031 planning horizon. The 2011 FMPs construction and renovation projects included an increase in the capacities of campus facilities in order to meet the projected growth in student enrollments and faculty. The resulting 20-year growth projections were translated into assignable square feet (ASF) and programmed for in the 2011 FMPs planning horizon through 2031. 2020 Facilities Master Plan. To provide updated facilities plans for changing student and faculty needs, the District prepared the 2020 FMP for the Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College campuses that included the same geographical areas that were planned for disturbance by the 2011 FMPs. The 2020 FMP was based on student enrollment forecasts that are developed by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO), which projected lower enrollment in the year 2030 for each campus that is less than what was anticipated in the 2011 FMPs. The 2011 FMPs anticipated an enrollment of 26,353 at Irvine Valley College and an enrollment of 40,668 at Saddleback College in 2030. The 2020 FMP identified 7,820 fewer enrollments at Irvine Valley College, and 8,354 fewer enrollments at Saddleback College in 2030 than anticipated by the 2011 FMPs. Proposed Project To provide updated facilities plans for changing student and faculty needs, the District has prepared Inspire 2035 to plan that includes the same geographical areas that were previously evaluated for campus facilities by the 2011 FMPs and Final FMP EIR and largely includes completion of projects that were included in the 2011 FMPs and 2020 FMP and the enhancement of campus facilities. IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Several of the facilities that were identified in the 2011 FMPs and 2020 FMP for the Irvine Valley College main campus are currently under construction. In addition, a large majority of the Irvine Valley College facility projects that are listed in Inspire 2035 are the continuation of existing projects and plans, as detailed below.

This improvement, as included in Inspire 2035, would modernize and expand the existing College Center building to enhance its functionality and safety and would not include a new parking structure. This project includes comprehensive interior remodeling, seismic, plumbing, and electrical upgrades, installation of new fixtures, and a refreshed exterior with an expanded entrance. The building would accommodate key departments, including executive and administrative offices, extended learning programs, student government and student development offices, economic workforce and development, a student health and wellness center, inclusion center, basic needs center, bookstore, faculty center. Additionally, the cafeteria would be moved to the first floor for improved accessibility. Fine Arts Complex Replacement. The 2011 FMP included renovation of the Fine Arts building complex. Consistent with the 2020 FMP, Inspire 2035 includes construction of a new Fine Arts complex to replace the existing to correct building deficiencies and support current and projected program needs. The new complex would have 61,858 GSF and 40,783 ASF and would improve all instructional spaces, faculty offices, both theaters, and all support spaces. A new drop-off is proposed to improve access to this area of campus. Wellness Center and Volleyball. Consistent with the 2020 FMP a new Wellness Center would be developed. The new building would be 25,000 GSF and 11,209 ASF and would be developed to integrate into the sloped site and tie into outdoor open space areas. The upper level of the building would open to a new Wellness Court that would support active and passive wellness activities and facilitate pedestrian movement. The lower level would open to a terrace that would overlook the proposed sand volleyball courts to the north. This would replace PE600. PE Complex Replacement. Consistent with the 2011 FMP and the 2020 FMP, the Inspire 2035 includes construction of a new Fitness and Wellness Center next to the stadium, the 2020 FMP includes replacement of the existing PE complex. Buildings PE100, PE200, PE300, PE400, and PE500 would be demolished and a new Physical Education Complex would be constructed. The new complex would have 55,900 GSF and 40,141 ASF and would provide state-of-the-art facilities to support physical education programs. Student Housing. As detailed in the 2020 FMP, new student housing would be developed in an area that was planned for surface level parking by the 2011 FMP. The new student-housing buildings would be three to four stories in height, which is consistent with the existing buildings on campus, and would be surrounded by outdoor recreation and open space courtyard areas. The existing surface parking lots would provide student-housing parking. TAS Renovation. Inspire 2035, includes renovating (or possibly replacing) the Technology/Applied Science (TAS) building to address building deficiencies and to be repurposed for campus police and information technology. The building would have 36,601 GSF and 23,608 ASF. M&O Grounds and Transportation.

In addition, consistent with updated California Energy Code requirements, Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers would be installed in all parking lots containing solar canopies. New Inspire 2035 Projects The Inspire 2035 plan for Saddleback College includes improvements to the campus energy systems, two new small accessory structures, replacement of one structure, and improvements to the baseball field that were not previously included in FMPs, which are detailed below. Central Plant Renovation. Inspire 2035 includes renovation of the existing Central Plant Building, decommissioning the co-generation system, replacement of the existing equipment (chillers, cooking towers, pumps, boilers), upgrading associated infrastructure, adding two Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tanks (One for the chilled water [940K gallons tank 65’w x 42’h cast-in place concrete] and one for the hot water loop [78K gallons 21’w x 36’h steel]), and de-coupling the swimming pool. The new systems would provide additional campus resiliency and redundancy and would maximize the benefit of the planned solar and 12kV infrastructure upgrades. The proposed systems would support the energy and sustainability goal of striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 75% by 2030. Battery Energy Storage System. To support the solar canopies, a battery energy storage system would be installed in Parking Lot 4 adjacent to the Central Plant as part of the Solar Canopies Project. The system would provide backup power, provide redundancy to the electrical grid, and reduce electrical costs. Saddleback Coffee Structure. The Inspire 2035 includes a 2,000 square foot coffee structure that would be located to the south of the existing Tennis Center Complex and west of the proposed Student Housing location. Saddleback Baseball Field. Inspire 2035 includes changing the grass baseball field to turf, removing and replacing dugouts, adding a small restroom structure, adding a retaining wall to address slope issue adjacent to left field, and replacement of netting. Saddleback Horticulture/Biology Greenhouse. Inspire 2035 includes replacing the existing horticulture building at the same footprint, adding a restroom structure, and 1,000 square foot greenhouse for biology. ATEP Under Inspire 2035, no specific development is proposed on the ATEP campus. The Inspire 2035 notes that approximately 11.17-acres of land within ATEP is under negotiation for lease with Top Tennis Management and 27.4-acres is in negotiation with Victory AI Academy. However, no additional specific development is currently proposed. Therefore, no new construction or operations is considered for ATEP within the Addendum. Any future proposed development within the ATEP area would be evaluated to identify its consistency with the Tustin Legacy Development Framework and the buildout as detailed in the FEIS/EIR.
