<br />4 <br />upgrades at NC Works. The other weaknesses listed such as no security cameras, no direct bus route to <br />the Durham campus, the lack of food offerings, and the limited offerings of classes and programs will <br />continue to be a challenge with limited space. <br /> <br />On October 1, 2018, we began using a student satisfaction survey to be used by prospective and current <br />students to obtain feedback about their experiences at OCC and NC Works. As of January 23, 2019, a <br />total of 106 respondents completed the survey (See Appendix D). The results of the student satisfaction <br />survey indicate that, in general, students are satisfied with their experiences at OCC and NC Works. <br />Going forward, on a bi-annual basis, we plan to administer student satisfaction and other surveys to get <br />feedback from consumers. <br /> <br />Based on the results from the student satisfaction survey, and a specific question that asks about “other <br />services, classes, and/or resources they would like to see at OCC”, several themes emerged: <br /> <br />Service Count Courses Count <br />Tutoring 6 Specific Course or 31 Bookstore 8 More Courses <br />Cafeteria/Coffee/Food 8 Business 2 <br />Financial Aid 3 Science Related 3 <br />Student Engagement <br />Activities 2 Health Tech 8 <br />Career Services/job <br />placement 2 IT 2 <br />Advising 1 Art 4 <br />Student Records 1 <br />Bike Shop 1 <br /> <br />The SWOT analysis, surveys, work sessions, and general public provide evidence that the campus is <br />challenged to provide a full-campus experience with very limited space. Student Services function <br />without dedicated space for ADA compliant testing, tutoring, counseling, disability services, financial aid, <br />and other support services. Administrative space for adjunct faculty, College Liaisons, and support staff <br />is also limited. The lack of common area spaces, cafeteria services, bookstore, and multipurpose space <br />for student clubs and community activities challenges OCC’s ability to fully serve our student population. <br />In addition, space being at capacity also limits any future career pathways requiring specialized <br />equipment. <br /> <br />Orange County Campus Existing Facilities Description <br />Durham Tech’s Orange County Campus (OCC) is located on 20 acres at 525 College Park Road, <br />Hillsborough.
