Enrollment climbs; building booms A mi^or phyricfll expanrion of Wichita State Univenity it underway. Even with enrolments leveling off, new construction and renovation is likely to continue for several yean. Beginning today, The Sunflower wOl examine what kind of university is envisioned when all the grand plans are played out. Will it be a better place to learn? What will it cost students and taxpayers? How will the development and expansion affect nearby residential nei|^borhoods? By KELLY HUMPHRIES g. Wichita State University planners arc anticipating a continuing enrollment increase to 18,000 students, but they arc testing their theories against a possible 25,000 students. Dr. George Platt, WSU director of planning, said last year’s enrollment figures were 15,005 and the newest predictions for 1984 indicate the university population will reach approximately 16,900, with a full time equivalent of 12,000 students. "We’ve got to anticipate a university population of 17,000 - 18,000 students," Platt said, “and since there is always the unknown, we’ve tested the options against a possible 25,000 student population figure." Drawing development plans for WSU is a complicated process requiring an overview of conflicting goals and concepts, all of which ms he must be considered when making planning decisions, according to ns. Platt. in A major planning concern is the make-up of the student six population. With the university drawing about 70 per cent of its nel Ml. students from the Wichita metropolitan area, plans must include a well designed parking system and traffic flow for commuter ng. students, Platt said. cal "This is a big problem, because since World War II, the campus has mushroomed without much regard to parking," Platt said. Platt indicated planners are having to play catch-up in parking problems.
