• Is all or part of the investment one-time or continuing?
The investment contains both one-time costs to evaluate, renovate, and furnish the computer center and the recurring costs of staffing and operating the facility.
3. Describe How the investment:
• Supports one or more of the three institutional priorities.
This investment would support the increased retention priority by offering a facility where students can gather, engage, spectate and participate in group events. Study after study shows that students who engage are more likely to stay connected to the campus and thus increase retention. It also supports the Destination 2025 enrollment growth goal by providing a new ability to attract and build credibility with high schoolers, many of which game on a regular basis.
4. Over what time period would this investment be implemented?
The one-time investment could begin immediately and be completed in 9-12 months.
5. Does this investment have a directly related revenue stream or cost savings? (For example, an investment in an instructional site would have a directly related revenue stream in the form of tuition or fees. Or an effort to replace all lightbulbs on campus with LED would have a directly related cost savings) Although a use fee could be established to fund the facility, this is generally thought to work against the primary goal of student engagement. Tec- fee augmentation is a likely source to offset some of the recurring operating costs. Food services would be included in the facility
but minimum profit is anticipated. Done well, there are revenue opportunities in sponsorship, advertising, merchandise & tickets, publisher fees and media rights.
