Abstract: | Universities planning the provision of space for their teaching requirements need to do so in a fashion that reduces capital
and maintenance costs whilst still providing a high-quality level of service. Space plans should aim to provide sufficient
capacity without incurring excessive costs due to over-capacity. A simple measure used to estimate over-provision is utilisation. Essentially, the utilisation is the fraction of seats that are used in practice, or the ratio of demand to supply. However,
studies usually find that utilisation is low, often only 20–40%, and this is suggestive of significant over-capacity. |
