Procedures necessary for conducting facility inventories and space utilization studies for Idaho's higher education institutions are directed towards establishing a coordinated, comprehensive planning system. The specific objectives are to provide data necessary to plan intelligently for future facilities construction needs, and to provide some of the data necessary for state-wide comprehensive planning in higher education. This manual for facility inventory and space utilization research is considered the initial step in a comprehensive master plan. Consisting of three sections, the manual outlines procedures for building and room inventories and utilization studies with each section detailing how the studies are to be implemented and evaluated. The appendices contain additional information required to complete the studies such as classification systems, directions for survey teams, and room and building codes. (BH)
