There are many articles about space management, including those that discuss space calculations, metrics, and categories. Fewer articles discuss the space budgeting processes used by administrators to allocate space. The author attempts to fill this void by discussing her administrative experiences with Middle Tennessee State University's (MTSU)…

A computer model for providing information to assist space administrators at the University of Toronto in planning classroom requirements is presented in this thesis. The requirements generated are compared against available rooms and measures of utilization computed. The model reacts to changes in parameters describing the system which allows the…

The present spatial organization of the average campus is destructive to the best interests of the changing academic community. (Editor/IR)

Results are presented from a study of classroom and class laboratory space utilization at the University of Washington. The report is limited to space used for direct instruction in regularly scheduled classes in all disciplines except medicine, dentistry, and nursing; classes given during the day and evening are included. It does not include…

Data describing campus facility use for instructional and related purposes for one week of activity in Fall 1978 were collected and evaluated at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Four measures of space utilization were used: (1) percent of available time used; (2) percent of available space used; (3) percent of scheduled space utilized; and (4)…

Prepared as a guideline for reports on facilities in square feet quantities in response to the Higher Education General Information Survey and other requests for facilities data by the Office of Education and other Federal and non-Federal agencies, facilities terminology is defined and numerically classified. Building area and room classification…

Average hours per week of scheduled occupancy of classroom and laboratory space in the nine institutions of higher education operated by the State of Oregon are analyzed and also compared with similar information concerning other states' institutions as available from the U. S. Office of Education. Classroom and laboratory utilization was based…

This document presents two kinds of data, gathered from several State reports, that pertain to higher education facilities. The first type of data reflects the standards and space utilization forecast used in planning higher education facilities; the second provides information about the utilization of existing facilities. Planning standards are…

Studies of the workplace of teachers commonly focus on the spaces of the classroom, staffroom and school as pre-given and bounded entities. This article explores the possibilities of moving beyond such topographies of enclosure, towards seeing space(-time) as recursively constructed with social relations and so made and remade. Boundaries are then…

Spatial distribution of activity in a second-third grade open classroom was observed before and after a change in the physical design, to test the hypothesis that minor changes in the physical setting would produce predictable, desirable changes in student behavior. In most cases the desired behavior changes were produced. (Author/MV)

The use of space for formal instruction in fall 1977 at the Center and South campuses of Macomb County Community College was examined for five time spans: prime time day (weekdays, 8 a.m.-1 p.m.), prime time night (Monday-Thursday, 6 p.m.-10 p.m.), prime time week (prime time day and night), afternoon (Monday-Thursday, 1 p.m.-6 p.m.), and schedule…

137 NAPPA colleges and universities provided data for this summary. Projects are summarized by thirteen building classifications. Under each classification the following information headings are used--(1) name of institution, (2) project completion date, (3) gross square feet, (4) net assignable area, (5) construction costs, (6) number of stories,…
