Suffolk County Community College: Imaging Goes to College
2/27/2003
All of this improvement stemmed from SCCC's information technology department, but there has been no significant increase in staff size. Rice predicts another benefit: The space where file cabinets stood will become functional areas that will save some building construction and renovations. "Now we can store paper in an unheated building in a remote area with minimal access," he intones. "The warm areas are for office space. Our in-house architect is looking at reusing the freed storage space. Central Admissions alone is getting rid of 15 file cabinets, and longer term, we will get rid of 50 four-drawer cabinets."
Future developments will help smooth out the peaks and valleys of document processing such as the end of the school year when applicants send in their final high school transcripts. "The Feith project is a major, substantial part of our administration," states Rice, "and I see many more projects with them coming down the pike."
