Gives examples of space guidelines designed so that an institution can select planning modules for the allocation of space as well as for the acquisition and construction of new space. (MLF)

This book, intended for directors or managers of sport facilities, presents an overview of management techniques, strategies, and considerations. The first section, which focuses on planning for effective facility and equipment management, states that the foundation for such planning efforts is the manager's own personal philosophy, which in turn…

IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A PHYSICAL PLANT PROGRAM WHICH WOULD REMEDY THE PRESENT DEFICIENCIES OF THE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES AT WILSON COLLEGE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INDICATE THE IMPLICATIONS OF HIGHER ENROLLMENT LEVELS, A PLANNING PROJECT USING A CONSULTANT FIRM WAS INSTITUTED. THE AREAS OF INVESTIGATION PRESENTED IN THE ANALYSIS WERE AS FOLLOWS--(1)…

Provides a sequence of planning considerations at the University of Notre Dame leading to the decision to construct a "generic" classroom building for use by the entire university. Discusses the building program, determination of its size and mixture of classrooms, and the definition of general purpose "generic" classrooms.…

Findings are presented of inventory and space utilization studies encompassing the facilities at 105 of the institutions of higher education in North Carolina. Information is given regarding--(1) building characteristics, (2) interior space characteristics, and (3) utilization of instructional space. The majority of the data is presented in…

Classroom and office space factors are recommended for the 1969-71 biennium. New classroom space factor formulas are presented based on a comparison of--(1) utilization standards of Wisconsin and other states, and (2) alternative standards based on different allocations per seat. The office space factor remains at 135 net assignable square feet…

Author discusses the importance of proper acoustics to a learning environment. In addition, he gives pointers on various accoustical treatments. Basic to his suggestions is his belief that not only the construction of an area, but also its ultimate purpose must be considered in the planning. (Author)

After the Council of Ontario Universities' Task Force on Space and Utilization published the first volumes of its Building Blocks series on space standards in 1972, a subcommittee was established to receive reports from institutions on the original recommendations and their implementation. In this volume the most recent recommendations of the task…

Possible procedures and statistical analyses which may be employed in carrying out utilization studies are suggested. All types of facilities are grouped into two categories, instructional and non-instructional. Inventory, analysis, and planning are suggested as phases for a facilities utilization study. Facilities survey forms are included for…

Space utilization analysis is required as building programs are slowing in community colleges. State planning procedures fail to provide adequate information, since they tell little about the actual use of space. The formula derived by Bareither and Schillinger can evolve a space factor, using square feet per student station, hours per week the…

The demand unit approach to determining research space needs is proposed as a method for projection of space required for research in Wisconsin public higher education facilities. Discussion is directed to the two factors utilized in implementation of this approach, namely, (1) the varying level of activity devoted to research by participating…

An evaluative study of the University of Cincinnati stadium site shows its potential with relation to the existing campus. Conclusions and recommendations concerning its future utilization are presented, based upon consideration of the following--(1) basic university planning policies, (2) assets and liabilities of the site, (3) the decision to…

Methods for determining teaching load measurements and for projecting building space needs for the various functional activities of the University of Minnesota are discussed and evaluated. Factors which might influence the space needs of the individual departments are identified and evaluated. Assignable square foot building space needs are…

Uncontrollable factors exist in any situation and must be met as they arise. The University of Minnesota has adopted the assumption that the future will in some respects follow the pattern of the past. The traditional method of basing space needs on square footage per student does not take into account increased demands for space that result from…

The Ohio Board of Regents, in its planning and coordinating role, must be able to determine the statewide facilities requirements necessary to support the educational programs while avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort. This document provided an informational basis for making decisions and establishing policies at all levels, and opens a…
