Coordinating Board Mission
The mission of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is to provide the Legislature advice and comprehensive planning capability for higher education, to coordinate the effective delivery of higher education, to efficiently administer assigned statewide programs, and to advance higher education for the people of Texas.
THECB Strategic Plan
Coordinating Board Philosophy
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will promote access to quality higher education across the state with the conviction that access without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access is unacceptable. The Board will be open, ethical, responsive, and committed to public service. The Board will approach its work with a sense of purpose and responsibility to the people of Texas and is committed to the best use of public monies.

Foreword
In October 1992, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the Health-Related Space Projection Model. This model predicted the need for educational and general space in net assignable square feet (NASF) of health-related institutions in four categories: teaching, research, office, and support space. The model was used by the Board in making decisions related to the approval of proposals providing additional space. In addition, the Texas Legislature has used a similar model in making funding allocations for universities.
In June 1998, the Senate Finance Committee asked the Coordinating Board to review the model to ensure that the model accurately reflected the space needs of health-related institutions. To address those concerns, the Health-Related Space Projection Model Advisory Committee was appointed by the Commissioner of Higher Education to review the model and report findings and recommendations. The committee included a representative from each of the affected institutions. The committee met between June 1998 and January 1999 and made its recommendations to the Commissioner.
In September 1999, the Commissioner requested that the Health-Related Formula Advisory Committee include the model in its review of health-related formulas. The Commissioner adopted many of the committee’s recommendations and presented them to the Coordinating Board at its April 2000 meeting. This document describes the model as adopted by the Coordinating Board at that meeting.
The five-factor health-related space projection model predicts the need for educational and general (E&G) space for an institution to fulfill its mission in teaching, research, and public service. The model does not include auxiliary space, e.g., dormitories, bookstores, and revenue-generating patient care facilities. The current model adds clinical space to the four other factors of teaching, research, office, and support space.
Teaching space is driven by the type of program and the level of students. Research laboratory space is driven by research expenditures and FTE faculty. Office space is determined by FTE faculty and current fund expenditures. Clinical space depends on the clinical space an institution has in its inventory. Support space includes a base plus a percentage of the total predicted space for all the other factors.
Room types as shown in the Facilities Inventory are grouped into the five categories in the model. See Appendix A for a complete list of room types associated with each space category. The space in each category as shown in the Facilities Inventory is then compared with the space need predicted by the model in Appendix D.
Factor 1 - Teaching Space
Teaching space is comprised of classrooms (type 100 rooms); class labs, special class labs, and self-study labs (type 210-235 rooms); demonstration and audiovisual rooms (type 500 rooms); and assembly, exhibition, lounge, meeting, and locker rooms (type 600 rooms). Predicted teaching space is determined by multiplying the headcount in each level and category by the net assignable square feet shown in the matrix below.
NASF per Headcount
Type of Student / Undergraduate / Grad/Residents / Post Doctoral / Fellow/TraineeMedical / 120 / 30 / 30 / 30
Dental / 120 / 120 / 30 / 30
Public Health / 75 / 75 / 30 / 30
Biomedical Science / 65 / 55 / 30 / 30
Nursing / 75 / 75 / 30 / 30
Allied Health / 75 / 75 / 30 / 30
Pharmacy / 65 / 55 / 30 / 30
Factor 2 - Research Laboratory Space
Research laboratory space includes all 250-255 room types, which are non-class (research) laboratories and their service rooms, and all type 570/575 rooms, which are animal quarters and associated service areas.
Research laboratory space is predicted with two different calculations. Calculation 1 allocates 9,000 NASF per $1.223761 million in research expenditures reported in the annual financial statement. An average of the last three years expenditures is used. Calculation 2 is 250 NASF allocated for each full-time-equivalent (FTE) faculty. Both of these calculations are compared, and the greater of the two is the predicted value.
The Health-Related Space Projection Model adopted in 1992 incorporated 1991 data into the model. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) factor for September 1991 was 137.2 and the September 1999 factor was 167.9, an increase of 22.38 percent. The $1.223761 million variable reflects that inflation.

Factor 3 - Office Space
Office space includes all type 300 rooms, which are offices, conference rooms, and their associated service areas. The revised model includes only E&G space. The office space prediction incorporates two calculations.
In Calculation 1, sales and service and correctional off-site managed care are removed from total current fund E&G expenditures reported in the annual financial statement because the model does not predict auxiliary space. For each $1.223761 million in E&G expenditures, 1,600 NASF is allocated for all institutions.
Calculation 2 multiplies the number of FTE faculty as reported in the Coordinating Board’s CBM008 faculty FTE report by the ratio of FTE staff to FTE faculty shown in each institution’s Legislative Appropriations Request to obtain an estimate of the non-faculty FTE. Faculty FTE is multiplied by 190 NASF and the non-faculty figure is multiplied by 170 NASF.
If calculation 1 is greater than calculation 2, then calculation 1 is the predicted value. If calculation 2 is greater than calculation 1, then calculation 1 and calculation 2 are averaged, and the result is the predicted value.
Factor 4 - Clinical Space
Clinical space includes all type 800 rooms, which are patient bedroom, patient bath, nurses station, surgery, health care treatment, health care service laboratory, health care supply, health care public waiting, and health care service rooms.
Because of the diversity of arrangements for providing clinical space by the health-related institutions in Texas, a formula was not developed to predict clinical space. The predicted clinical space will be the same as an institution’s actual space. Clinical space was not included in the 1992 model, but is included in the revised model to account for all E&G space.
Factor 5 - Support Space
Support space includes all type 700 rooms, which are data processing/computer rooms, shops, storage, and vehicle storage rooms; type 580 rooms, which are greenhouses; and all types 400 rooms, which are reading/study rooms, library stack space, processing rooms, and their associated service areas.
Support space is calculated with two formulas. First, a library base of 25,000 NASF is provided for the single-program institution, The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler. All other multi-program institutions receive 50,000 NASF for libraries. The second factor is 9 percent of the total of all other predicted space. Predicted support space is the sum of the library base and the 9 percent calculation of the total of all other predicted space.

Multi-Campus Adjustment
A multi-campus adjustment provides additional space for coordination of programs that are operated in multiple locations. Campuses that are eligible for the adjustment must have instructional programs that are carried out over multiple locations and are specifically authorized by the Legislature. The following chart indicates the institutions and campuses that may receive the adjustment:
Texas Tech HSC / Texas A&M HSC / UTHSC – San Antonio / UTHSC – HoustonEl Paso / Temple / (Harlingen, McAllen, Edinburg) / Brownsville
Amarillo / Laredo
Odessa
For each qualifying remote campus, institutions receive a multi-campus adjustment equal to 100 percent of the first 10,000 E&G NASF on that remote campus and 25 percent of all E&G NASF in excess of the first 10,000 NASF.
The table below shows how the multi-campus adjustment for TTUHSC is calculated.
Campus / E&G NASF / Base / 25 percent of E&G NASF in excess of base / Total PredictedEl Paso / 181,948 / 10,000 / 42,987 / 52,987
