The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation NC State University (Cover Page) In honor of Bill Friday's unwavering commitment to educational excellence and equity, NC State's College of Education named its state-of-the-art educational research institute after Bill and his wife Ida, the state's "First Family of Education." The 33,000-square-foot William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation combines the talents of students and teachers, education professionals and research scientists, community leaders and business professionals to identify and formulate solutions to the most pressing educational challenges. The Institute is a center for collaboration and research and an incubator that can quicken the pace of innovation, speed the dissemination of best practices and reinforce meaningful professional development for educators. The mission of the high-tech research and outreach facility is to advance education through innovation in teaching, learning and leadership. Institute officials collaborate with educators, researchers, government and business leaders to provide solutions for critical educational needs across North Carolina, particularly in rural and underserved areas of the state. The $10 million, privately funded facility is located on NCSU s 1,334-acre Centennial Campus, and honors the Friday family s unwavering commitment to educational excellence and equity. Considered one of North Carolina s first families of education, both Bill and Ida Friday have devoted themselves to public service and support for North Carolina s children and its educational system. Work at the Friday Institute will be organized into five collaboratories, which will allow faculty members, students, teachers, education professionals and research scientists to work together in interdisciplinary teams. These research-driven entities will focus on mathematics and science education; leadership for educational effectiveness; middle grades education; cultural connections in education; and instructional technologies to enhance teaching and learning. The first floor is the Institute's public space. It includes a tribute to Bill and Ida Friday, as well as interactive scrims in the main foyer to display student, teacher and faculty work. It also houses Wachovia Innovation Hall - an interactive meeting room that will hold as many as 200 people. This floor also houses the executive multi-media classroom. The second floor includes the Progress Energy Discovery Classroom, where researchers simulate curriculum integration in middle school classrooms and students and teachers create demonstration projects. This room has multi-point videoconferencing capabilities. The Friday Institute is designed to capitalize on the NCSU s long history of committed engagement in university/business partnerships and its leadership role in economic development. The university is dedicated to research and extensive programs of professional development that will empower educators and their students to be 21st century learners and leaders, contribute to social and economic well-being, and meet the challenges of a global knowledge society.

Foreword This study, the thirty-ninth in the annual series of facilities inventory and utilization studies, reflects the status of space in North Carolina institutions of higher education at the end of the drop-add period of the 2005 fall term at each college. It also gives indications of the uses being made of the space and provides, where feasible, norms and historical information for the past five years to enable institutions to make their own assessments of their facilities. In order to realize substantial savings in printing costs, the Facilities Inventory and Utilization Study is being published in its entirety online and can be found at www.northcarolina.edu/pres/publications/publications.cfm. Hardcopy versions of this publication will be available only upon request for the cost of printing. Statistics for the participating private institutions are shown by group, rather than by institution, because of the agreement made with these institutions when the project was initiated. Annually, each institution is forwarded its own data and can then make a self-assessment on the basis of these data, its historical record, group data, and the norms cited for the various tables. The purposes of this study include providing facilities data to state authorities, making data on North Carolina facilities available to other commissions for comparative purposes, and providing participating institutions with data, which may be helpful in the management of their facilities. This report presents selected summary information from the quantities of data assembled in the 2005 comprehensive planning studies. Other studies have been conducted resulting in detailed information pertinent to this study. This information has been incorporated into this study to continually broaden the information available. Detailed facility condition information for UNC institutions presented on page 126 is such an example. Public senior institutions, community and technical colleges, and participating private institutions throughout the state have cooperated fully in time, energy, and funds to provide data for the studies. The participating institutions are listed in the preceding section. The gathering and review of data for the studies have been accomplished through the joint effort of the agencies providing membership to the Facilities Technical Committee. The Project Officers of the participating institutions deserve special recognition for the tremendous job they have done in providing the basic data for this study. The commission staff also expresses appreciation to members of the Facilities Advisory Commission for their advice and counsel through the years. Terrance C. Feravich Director xi

Introduction The efficient use of campus facilities is of increasing concern to most colleges and universities. This concern is partially a reflection of the high costs involved in constructing and maintaining buildings, but it also stems from a broader recognition of the importance of facilities planning. The effective allocation and utilization of space is essential if an institution of higher education is to maximize its resources in accomplishing its objectives in the areas of instruction, research, and public service. The primary purpose of the Facilities Inventory and Utilization Study is to provide higher education administrators with a detailed statistical profile of the facilities of their own campuses and of the other colleges and universities in North Carolina. The study also presents data which can provide the basis for comparative assessments of the extent to which space is used for instructional purposes. In short, this publication is intended as an important analytical tool for use in facilities planning. It is published annually by the State Commission on Higher Education Facilities, which is part of the University of North Carolina-General Administration. Institutions Included The study provides data for 79 institutions of higher education in North Carolina. This universe includes all of the sixteen public senior institutions, which comprise the University of North Carolina, 5 private non-profit colleges and universities, and the 58 public two-year institutions, which represent the Community College System. In addition, data are provided for UNC Hospitals at Chapel Hill, a part of the University of North Carolina. The participating colleges and universities are listed by type of institution on pages v-ix, along with the name of the President or Chancellor and the commission's project officer for each school. An alphabetical listing of these institutions, including mailing addresses and other information, can be found on pages 157-159. Beginning in the Fall of 2002, the 38 private institutions participating in the data collection were given the option of continuing the yearly assessment of their facilities on a fee for service basis. Of the 38 campuses, Barton College, Campbell University, Mars Hill College, Montreat College, and Pfeiffer University have elected to participate in 2005. These institutions data will continue to be displayed as a total under General Baccalaureate Colleges. Each of these participating institutions is provided with building, room, and utilization reports for their campus, and will retain the ability to request special data analysis as part of this service. Campuses that rejoin the data collection effort under the fee for service agreement will be added at the beginning of each data collection cycle. The Major Research Universities and the Junior College categories will display blanks for the current year data, but will continue to show historical previous year data. Because of the unique facilities requirements of health affairs complexes and medical schools, data for the Division of Health Affairs at East Carolina University and the University of 1
North Carolina at Chapel Hill are listed separately from their parent campuses. For similar reasons, the Higher Education Facilities Commission separately lists the data for North Carolina State University's School of Veterinary Medicine. Types of Data Collected The study is divided into four sections which reflect the four broad categories of facilities data which are reported: the utilization of instructional space, interior space characteristics, building characteristics, and accessibility of facilities to the mobility impaired. The section on the utilization of instructional space provides ratios, percentages, and indices which relate the amount of instructional activity at an institution to various categories of campus space. The section dealing with interior space characteristics statistically describes campus space by its uses and the programs to which it is assigned. It also provides data relating the sizes and capacities of classrooms and class laboratories. The building characteristics section focuses on such data elements as building age, condition, and replacement cost. The final section describes the amount and type of campus space which is accessible to persons who are confined to wheelchairs. This study is designed to provide only a "snapshot" of institutional facilities at a particular point in time. Facilities data reflect all buildings which were completed as of October 1 of the year of the study. Utilization data reflect only the courses which were under way as of the drop-add period of the fall term. The data do not take into account any instructional activity that occurred during the spring semester or quarter. It should also be noted that different types of institutions will often have very different space needs. As a result, two institutions with facilities which are equally well-utilized may have significantly different utilization data. Thus, it is generally unwise to attempt to make comparisons between two institutions which are dissimilar in terms of their levels or the instructional programs which they offer. Peer comparisons provide the most reliable means of assessment. Procedures Used in Collecting Data The Higher Education Facilities Commission maintains an annually updated, computer-based facilities inventory of each institution included in the study. A facilities inventory is comprised of a Building Characteristic Report and a Room Characteristic Report. The Building Characteristic Report lists and provides detailed information about each building on an institution's campus. The Room Characteristic Report lists every room in each building and provides information about its size and capacity. Each room is also coded to reflect its use and the institutional programs which it supports. Each fall every institution supplies the commission staff with a list of changes in its facilities inventory occurring since the previous fall. Most of the colleges and universities provide these data by annotating a copy of their previous year's inventory. An institution may choose, however, to provide its facilities update data by supplying the commission with a personal computer file, electronic mail, or FTP (file transfer protocol) transmission of its current facilities inventory. 2
Space utilization data are based on the annual submission by each institution of a list of its fall term courses. For each course, the institution provides information indicating when and where the class meets and the number of students enrolled. Many institutions also provide these data on diskette, or by E-mail or FTP. The others supply their utilization data on computer printouts or on specially designed utilization forms, and the commission keys this information onto master mainframe files. Each institution's course data are run against its updated facilities inventory to generate the Instructional Space Utilization Report. This report indicates how effectively an institution uses its facilities and measures its need for classroom and laboratory space in relation to comparable institutions. Schools which need help in updating their facilities inventories or compiling utilization data are provided technical assistance by the commission staff. Questions are answered by telephone, or if a problem is particularly complex, a campus visit is arranged. The commission staff also assists institutions by taking the measurements of new buildings for which the institutions have provided blueprints. For the past several years, because of improved in-house data processing capabilities, the commission has provided data search services, software, special analyses, and facilities survey assistance to participating institutions making such special requests. Both the facilities inventory updates and the utilization data from each school are reviewed carefully by the commission staff. Extensive computer edits are also used as a means of ensuring accuracy and consistency. When problems are discovered, the institutions are contacted for additional information or corrections. Every year each institution receives one copy of its updated Building and Room Characteristic Reports and its Instructional Space Utilization Report. Also provided is one copy of the Building Data Summary Report, which analyzes in detail the institution's building data, and a number of statistical tables which describe the institution's assignable area and its accessible space in terms of their use and the programs to which they are assigned. The reports and tables are also supplied to the Finance Division of the University of North Carolina-General Administration (UNC constituent institutions only), and to the N.C. Community College System office (two-year public institutions only). Limitations and Special Situations This study contains reliable and useful information concerning the facilities of colleges and universities in North Carolina and their utilization for instructional purposes. It is important, however, to note two limitations in the data provided. Although campus facilities would generally be viewed as including such assets as parking lots, tennis courts, and radio control towers, this study is limited to data relating to buildings. For purposes of the study, a building is defined as any roofed structure. This definition includes trailers and other mobile units. 3
Because of technical problems in collecting course information from medical schools and related programs, utilization data are not supplied by the Division of Health Affairs at East Carolina University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC Hospitals at Chapel Hill, or the North Carolina State University School of Veterinary Medicine. They are, therefore, excluded from most of the utilization tables. Separate enrollment figures are provided for these divisions, however, and Table 2 includes utilization data for the Veterinary School and the two Divisions of Health Affairs at public institutions (although these data are excluded from all totals). Special situations exist at several institutions which can affect both the reporting and summarization of utilization data. These situations are described below to enable reviewers to make more accurate and fair comparisons among different institutions. N. C. School of the Arts instructs secondary school students as well as students at the college level. To reflect this fact, high school courses conducted at the campus were also considered in calculating student clock hours. The high school students were not included in the full-time equivalent enrollment figures for this institution, however. In Table 2, this has the effect of significantly underestimating the total utilization of academic space for the N.C. School of the Arts. It should also be noted that the programs conducted at the N.C. School of the Arts inherently require significantly more space per student than at other constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina. Comparisons of this institution's utilization with that of any other college or university would, therefore, be misleading. N.C. State University and N.C. A&T State University similarly show an above-average square footage of academic facilities per FTE student (Table 2) and understated utilization of academic space in other tables. This is due to these institutions extensive instruction and research programs in Agriculture and Engineering, which require significantly more academic space per FTE student than is typical of other general academic programs. Western Carolina University conducts a number of courses on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Asheville. The student clock hours of UNC at Asheville reflect these WCU courses. Full-time equivalent enrollments of the WCU-sponsored courses at UNC at Asheville are, however, credited to WCU rather than to UNC at Asheville. Several Community Colleges have similar inter-campus course arrangements and FTE/student clock hour figures are derived in the same manner. As further clarification of institution groupings, graph references to "UNC Campuses" refer to the sixteen public Baccalaureate-granting institutions of the University of North Carolina. Table subtitles and graph legends for Community Colleges refer to the 58 Community Colleges of the North Carolina Community College system. 4
The data elements collected, formats maintained, and statistics generated by the North Carolina Commission on Higher Education Facilities adhere very strongly to nationally developed standards and procedures for facilities inventory and utilization reporting. In the interests of state and national comparability and standardization, changes such as addition/omission of data items and format/master file rearrangement are not made by this central office to suit the special interests or needs of a particular campus. Many North Carolina institutions accommodate these local information needs by including additional data on campus-maintained files, in formats suitable to campus researchers and planners, as a supplement to Facilities Commission (national standard) data. This office does, however, provide the special request, data processing services mentioned above to all North Carolina institutions for all data maintained on commission files. In addition, these services are provided to institutions which maintain supplemental or special campus information items when these data are provided with the request. 5
Clark-LeClair Stadium, East Carolina University Constructed on the site of the former Harrington Baseball Field, this new state-ofthe-art $11 million stadium bears the name of the William H. Clark family, who donated $1.5 million towards its construction, and former Pirate baseball coach Keith LeClair. LeClair who succumbed to Lou Gehrig s disease in July was able to attend the dedication ceremony held on May 20, 2005. The stadium grandstand has seating for 3,000 spectators, luxury suites, a press box equipped with the latest computer and broadcasting technology available, and a vast concourse with restrooms and concession areas. The space under the grandstand is well utilized with home and away locker rooms, batting tunnels, a training room, athletic storage areas, and offices for the baseball coaching staff.

TABLE 1: CAPACITY / ENROLLMENT RATIO The capacity/enrollment ratio, often referred to as the C/E ratio, is the amount of instructional and library space on campus divided by the total fall term student clock hours of that institution. The C/E ratio relates the amount of space directly used in an institution's instructional programs to the instructional activity of the campus. It is one of the most commonly used indices of instructional utilization of institutional facilities. In analyzing and comparing the capacity/enrollment ratios, it should be kept in mind that a relatively low ratio generally indicates a high level of space utilization. It should also be noted, however, that such factors as the level of an institution and the kind of instructional programs that it offers will affect the amount of space required and, therefore, the C/E ratio. The capacity/enrollment ratio for all institutions of higher education in North Carolina has been between four and five for many years, but the graph on page 11 confirms that this ratio varies widely by type of institution. Instructional and Library Space Instructional and library space is defined in terms of program codes (pages 67-68, 73-75, 80-81, 84-85, 88-89) and room use codes (pp. 93-94). It is the sum of the areas of all rooms which carry both a program designation of 11-18 (Instruction), 41 (Library Services), or 01 (Unassigned, Capable of Use), and one of the room use codes listed below, with the exception that office space is omitted from program 01: 110 Classroom 410 Study Room 115 Classroom Service 420 Stack 430 Open-Stack Study Room 210 Class Laboratory 440 Processing Room 215 Class Laboratory Service 455 Study Service 220 Open Laboratory 510 Armory 225 Open Lab Service 515 Armory Service 310 Office 520 Athletic or Physical Ed. 315 Office Service 525 Athletic or Physical Ed.

Student Clock Hours Student clock hours is a measurement of the total weekly hours of scheduled instruction for all of an institution's students. It is computed for each course by multiplying the number of times the course meets each week by the number of hours of each course meeting (rounded to the half hour), and multiplying that product by the number of students. Thus, if a course with 20 students meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., the number of student clock hours resulting from that class would be 60 (2 meetings/week x 1.5 hours/meeting x 20 students). The student clock hours reported in this study are based upon on-campus courses, both credit and non-credit, which were in progress during the week following the drop-add period of the fall term and which lasted for at least eight weeks. More detailed student clock hour data are provided in Table 8. CAPACITY/ENROLLMENT RATIO = INSTRUCTIONAL & LIBRARY SPACE TOTAL WEEKLY STUDENT CLOCK HOURS 10

TABLE 2: SQUARE FEET OF ACADEMIC FACILITIES PER FTE STUDENT The ratio of an institution's square footage of academic facilities to its full-time equivalent enrollment represents an important index of the instructional utilization of campus facilities. It was first used by the U. S. Office of Education as a planning standard in the 1960s. In 1969, the Office of Education published an extensive study entitled Federal Support for Higher Education Construction: Current Programs and Future Needs which provided normative figures by level and control of institution. The figures, which are still widely used in determining facilities needs, can be summarized as follows: Institutional Level Public Private Total University 132 150 136 Four-year 93 103 98 Two-year 70 75 70 All Institutions 103 115 107 There is currently much national interest in updating these norms through a new national survey of higher education facilities. Academic Facilities "Academic facilities" is a broader concept than "instructional and library space" (page 9). In general terms, it includes all space used for instruction, research, and the administration or support of instruction or research. Academic facilities can be more precisely defined in terms of program codes (pages 67-68, 73-75, 80-81, 84-85, 88-89) and room use codes (pp. 93-94). The term refers to an institution's total assignable area (page 63) less the square footage of all rooms bearing program codes 42 (Museums and Galleries), 52 (Social and Cultural Development), 55 (Student Auxiliary Services), 56 (Intercollegiate Athletics), 65 (Faculty and Staff Auxiliary Services), 66 (Public Relations/Development), 91-92 (Independent Operations), and 02 (Incapable of Use). In addition, space with program code 63 (General Administration and Logistical Service) is deleted if it also has room use code 750 (Central Service), 755 (Central Service Support), 760 (Hazardous Materials), or 765 (Hazardous Materials Service). Space with program 01 (Unassigned, Capable of Use) and any of the following room use codes is also excluded from academic facilities: 523 (Athletic Facilities Spectator Seating), 630 (Food Facility), 635 (Food Facility Service), 660 (Merchandising), 665 (Merchandising Service), 750 (Central Service), 755 (Central Service Support), 760 (Hazardous Materials), 765 (Hazardous Materials Service), all of the 800s (Health Care Facilities), and all of the 900s (Residential Facilities). 15
FTE Enrollment Full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment is computed by assigning a percentage to each part-time student to reflect his/her course load and then adding the result to the total full-time enrollment. FTE enrollment differs from the other frequently used standard for estimating student populations, headcount enrollment, in that the latter treats full-time and part-time students identically. A more detailed description of the procedure used in calculating FTE enrollment can be found on page 54. In this table, the FTE enrollments which are reported for the institutions of the Community College System include only credit enrollment generated in all inventoried space. Noncredit enrollment is not reflected in this table. Total FTE enrollments for these institutions-- which take into account all credit instruction regardless of where it is conducted--are not listed in Table 2 because they are irrelevant to space utilization analysis. They are reported, however, in the parenthesized figures of Table 12. Methods of FTE calculation for the constituent institutions of both the University of North Carolina and Community College System are again outlined on page 54. SQ. FT.

TABLE 3: AVERAGE WEEKLY ROOM HOURS OF INSTRUCTION IN CLASSROOMS The average weekly room hours of instruction in classrooms is calculated by dividing the total room hours of instruction in classrooms by the total number of classrooms. In more general terms, it is the average number of hours that an institution's classrooms are used for instructional purposes each week. Weekly room hours of instruction is also referred to as the Room Utilization Rate (RUR). The total room hours of instruction in classrooms is the number of hours each week that each classroom is used for regularly scheduled classes. Thus, a classroom which is used Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. until noon would generate 19 room hours (4 hours/day x 3 days/week + 3.5 hours/day x 2 days/week). Table 3 indicates the total room hours of instruction in classrooms; the total number of classrooms can be found in Table 16. For purposes of this study, a classroom is defined as a room used to conduct classes that do not require special-purpose equipment for student use. Thus, a classroom is by definition a general use facility which could be used for teaching the lecture portion of any course. If a room is used for regularly scheduled classes but has special equipment which ties it to a particular subject matter, then the room is a class laboratory and its use would not be taken into account in this table. Table 3 separates average weekly room hours of instruction in classrooms into daytime and nighttime utilizations. Daytime utilization is based on all classes with beginning times between and including 5:00 a.m. and 4:59 p.m.; nighttime utilization is based on all other classes. The "All Hours" section of Table 3 indicates the sum of the daytime and nighttime figures for the last five years. The average weekly room hours of classroom instruction can serve as an indicator of the adequacy of the number of classrooms at an institution. The University of North Carolina standard is 35 hours of instruction in classrooms per week, but the institutions in North Carolina and in many other states average significantly fewer hours. AVG.

TABLE 4: AVERAGE WEEKLY ROOM HOURS OF INSTRUCTION IN CLASS LABORATORIES The average weekly room hours of instruction in class laboratories is calculated by dividing the total room hours of instruction in class laboratories by the total number of class laboratories. In more general terms, it is the average number of hours that an institution's class laboratories are used for instructional purposes each week. Weekly room hours of instruction is also referred to as the Room Utilization Rate (RUR). The total room hours of instruction in class laboratories is the number of hours each week that each class laboratory is used for regularly scheduled classes. This figure is provided in Table 4; the total number of class laboratories can be found in Table 17. Table 4 also separates the average room hour data into daytime and nighttime uses of class laboratories. For specific definitions of "daytime" and "nighttime," and for a more detailed explanation of the calculation of total room hours, see page 20. For purposes of this study, a class laboratory is defined as a room used primarily for regularly scheduled classes that require special-purpose equipment for student participation, experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. This definition excludes rooms used for regularly scheduled classes which have no special-purpose equipment (i.e., classrooms) and also excludes rooms with special-purpose equipment which are not used for regularly scheduled classes (i.e., other kinds of laboratories). Table 4 can provide some indication of the adequacy of the number of class laboratories at a particular institution. Unfortunately, since the data reflect the utilization of all class laboratories, it is impossible to determine whether an institution's shortage (or surplus) of these rooms is limited to certain types or is "across the board." In such cases, an institution might be able to make a more useful measurement by determining the average weekly use of each type of class laboratory. Because each class laboratory is designed for use in a particular field of study, most of them are not used as frequently as classrooms. The University of North Carolina standard for the average use of class laboratories is 20 hours per week. Many of the institutions of the Community College System approach or exceed this figure, at least in part because of the technical nature of most of their instructional programs. The other colleges and universities in North Carolina generally fall well below this norm. AVG.

TABLE 5: AVERAGE WEEKLY USE OF STUDENT STATIONS IN CLASSROOMS Average weekly use of student stations in classrooms is calculated by dividing the total number of student clock hours generated in classrooms by the total number of student stations in classrooms. More generally, it can be thought of as the average number of hours each week that each classroom student station is used. For the current year, Table 5 reports the total number of classroom student stations and breaks down the average weekly use figure into daytime and nighttime utilizations. (See page 20 for precise definitions of classrooms and of daytime and nighttime utilizations.) For purposes of comparison, this table also lists the average weekly use of student stations for the previous four years. The average weekly use of student stations can serve as an indicator of the adequacy of the number of student stations in classrooms. A norm which has been frequently cited is 22.75 hours per week. This figure is based on the assumption that the average weekly use of classrooms is 35 hours (see Table 3) and that there is 65% utilization of student stations when classrooms are in use (Table 7). Most North Carolina colleges and universities fall considerably below this norm, suggesting a surplus of classroom student stations.

TABLE 6: AVERAGE WEEKLY USE OF STUDENT STATIONS IN CLASS LABORATORIES Average weekly use of student stations in class laboratories is calculated by dividing the total number of student clock hours generated in class laboratories by the total number of student stations in class laboratories. More generally, it can be thought of as the average number of hours each week that each class lab student station is used. For the current year, Table 6 reports the total number of class lab student stations and breaks down the average weekly use figure into daytime and nighttime utilizations. (See page 24 for a discussion of what the term class laboratory includes and page 20 for precise definitions of daytime and nighttime utilizations.) For purposes of comparison, this table also lists the average weekly use of student stations for the previous four years. The average weekly use of student stations can serve as an indicator of the adequacy of the number of stations in class laboratories. A norm which has been frequently cited is 15 hours. This figure is based on the assumption that the average weekly use of class labs is 20 hours (see Table 4) and that there is 75% utilization of student stations when class labs are in use (Table 7). Most North Carolina colleges and universities fall considerably below this norm. This fact suggests a surplus of class laboratory student stations but gives no indication whether this surplus exists for all types of class laboratories or is limited to the labs of certain academic disciplines.

TABLE 7: PERCENT STUDENT STATION UTILIZATION, CLASSROOMS AND CLASS LABORATORIES Percent student station utilization indicates the average percentage of student stations that are occupied when classrooms or class laboratories are in use. It is calculated by dividing the student clock hours generated in classrooms (or class labs) by the potential student clock hours for classrooms (or class labs) and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage. Potential student clock hours is computed on a room-by-room basis by multiplying the number of student stations in each room by the room hours of instruction generated by the room (Tables 3 and 4). It indicates the number of student clock hours which would be generated if every room were filled to capacity (i.e., if the number of students equaled the number of stations) each time a course met in the room. It is important to keep in mind that the percent student station utilization assesses the utilization of rooms only when they are in use. This figure is therefore a helpful indicator of how close to capacity an institution's courses are to the rooms in which they are scheduled. It does not, however, indicate the overall efficiency of utilization since it does not take into account how frequently a room is used. Percent student station utilization may also be referred to as the Station Occupancy Rate (SOR). The University of North Carolina standards are 65% for classrooms and 75% for class laboratories. The higher percentage for class labs reflects the assumption that these rooms, although used less frequently than classrooms because of their specialized configuration and/or equipment, are usually closer to being filled to capacity when they are in use. Data for North Carolina colleges and universities, however, indicate that the percent student station utilization in class labs is not significantly higher than in classrooms. For both types of rooms, the average percentage for all N.C. institutions is usually less than 60%.

TABLE 8: STUDENT CLOCK HOURS OF INSTRUCTION This table indicates the weekly student clock hours of instruction being conducted at the end of the fall drop-add period. Student clock hours are computed by multiplying for each course the number of hours that the course meets each week by the number of students enrolled. (To compute the number of hours that the course meets each week, the class length is rounded to the nearest half hour and multiplied by the number of times the class meets weekly.) The data reflect both credit and non-credit courses which were at least eight weeks in duration. The columns headed "Laboratories" reflect instruction conducted only in class laboratories (room code 210). A precise definition of class laboratory is provided on page 24. The columns headed "Other" reflect instruction in rooms coded other than 110 and 210 (e.g., other types of laboratories, physical education facilities, offices). An outline of the room use code structure is presented on pp. 93-94. The number of clock hours conducted in a particular category of space is a function of the number of students enrolled, the nature of the instructional programs being pursued by the students, and the instructional philosophy of the institution.

TABLE 9: SPACE FACTORS A space factor is the assignable square feet of a given type of space divided by the student clock hours of instruction generated from that type of space. It is very useful to facilities planners in that it combines into a single factor the concepts of weekly room hours (Tables 3 and 4), percent student station utilization (Table 7), and assignable square feet per student station (Tables 16 and 17). The lower the space factor, the more effectively the space is being utilized for instructional purposes. Space factors can be specifically defined in two ways. For Table 9, the formula: Space Factor = Assignable Square Feet Student Clock Hours is used. Note that space factors must relate to a specified type of space. For example, a classroom space factor is calculated by dividing the assignable square feet of classroom space by the student clock hours generated in classrooms. An alternative formula is: Space Factor = Assignable Sq. Ft./Station Avg. Weekly Room Hours X Percent Station Utilization Although the two are equivalent, they may produce slightly different results because of the rounding which is inherent in the second formula. The second formula is nevertheless useful in calculating space factor norms. Classrooms. If the norms cited for Tables 3, 7, and 16 are used for the three factors which comprise the second formula, the result is a space factor of 0.79: Classroom Space Factor = 18 = 0.79 35 X.65 Although this represents a frequently cited norm for classroom space factors, it is considerably lower (i.e., more efficient) than the classroom space factors of most North Carolina institutions. The current average can be calculated by using the state averages for the three required indices from Tables 3, 7, and 16: Classroom Space Factor = 20 = 1.60 22.1 X.565 44
Class Laboratories. The average assignable square footage per station in class laboratories varies widely among different types of labs. This variance results in a wide range of space factors and makes the defining of norms difficult. Standards adopted by the University of North Carolina (See Table 11) classify class laboratories into four categories, based on discipline requirements, and assign a space factor (and other criteria) for each: High Intensive (e.g., Engineering and intensive Fine Arts) is assigned a Space Factor standard of 7.20. This is based on standards of 20 Weekly Room Hours (Room Utilization Rate), a Percent Student Station Utilization (or Station Occupancy Rate) of 0.75, and ASF per Student Station (Station Size) of 108 square feet. Intensive (e.g., Agriculture, Architecture, Biological Sciences, Health Professions, Library and Physical Sciences) is assigned a Space Factor Standard of 4.67. This is based on standards of 20 Weekly Room Hours, a Percent Student Station Utilization of 0.75, and ASF per Student Station of 70 square feet. Moderately Intensive (e.g., Communications, Education) is assigned a Space Factor standard of 3.33. This is based on standards of 20 Weekly Room Hours, a Percent Student Station Utilization of 0.75, and ASF per student Station of 50 square feet. Non-Intensive (e.g., Business, Cinematography, Languages) is assigned a Space Factor of 2.20. This is based on standards of 20 Weekly Room Hours, a Percent Student Station Utilization of 0.75, and ASF per Student Station of 33 square feet. Teaching Areas. Teaching areas represent the sum of classroom and class laboratory space. A space factor norm for teaching areas has not been derived, but the group means can be useful in assessing the extent of utilization. Table 10 has also been developed to assist institutions in analyzing their utilization data.

TABLE 11: SPACE STANDARDS (University of North Carolina only) Space standards previously published in this study were selected from the Higher Education Facilities Planning and Management Manuals published by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. While these published criteria were considered a useful baseline for subsequent space standards development both at the national level* and by individual states and institutions, the evolution of room configurations and needs at today s institutions of higher education had clarified the need for updated space planning standards in selected categories of space. To this end, the University of North Carolina, in conjunction with higher education consultants (Eva Klein and Associates, Ltd.), in 1997-98 developed space planning standards to be used as an additional variable in the evaluation of capital project needs at the UNC campuses. It should be noted that the criteria presented here are planning guidelines for current and future needs based on specific assumptions of program, enrollment, employment, and/or research growth during a given planning period. They are therefore neither programming nor design standards for use as either architectural or cost estimation guides. In addition, these standards do not attempt to address quality issues of space in terms of either facility condition or suitability for current and future needs. Differences in institutional missions, program diversity, or specific strategic plans were also not included as components of the development. As a result, these standards are not intended as exclusive or absolute indicators for determination of project needs. Given these limitations, the adopted criteria are used within various standard formulas to develop totals for predicted space for each campus. These figures are in turn used, in comparison with inventoried space statistics, to calculate hypothetical surplus/deficit assignable square footages in the selected categories. Space planning standards were developed for the first four series of HEGIS Room Use Codes as defined in both the national and N.C. facilities classification manuals. These standards were officially adopted by the UNC Board of Governors in October, 1998: 100 Series - Classroom Facilities - The standards apply only to the 110-Classroom Room Use Code. Room Use Code 115 (Classroom Service) is omitted in the calculations in accordance with typical comparative reporting practices in higher education. *The most recent set of national space criteria was developed in 1985: Space Planning Guidelines, Council of Educational Facility Planners, International. 49
Table 11 Space Standards 200 Series - Laboratory Facilities - Two types of laboratory space were studied: 210 - Class Laboratory - This includes only those laboratories that are used for regularly scheduled instruction. Excluded are areas classified as 215-Class Laboratory Service, 220-Open Laboratory (irregularly scheduled), and 225-Open Laboratory Service. 250 - Research/Nonclass Laboratory - Based again on typical industry reporting standards, this analysis also includes space classified as 255-Research/Nonclass Laboratory Service as an aggregate for calculations. Only 250/255 space further classified under the Program Codes for Research (codes 21 and 22) are used in the calculations. 300 - Office Facilities - Recommendations for office space standards aggregate inventoried square footages for the four Room Use Codes in the 300-series: 310-Office, 315-Office Service, 350-Conference Room, and 355-Conference Room Service. This is again in accordance with recently inventoried space standards for higher education systems and institutions throughout the country. 400 - Study Facilities - For study facilities, separate figures for predicted space are calculated for 410-Study Room, 420-Stack, 430-Open-Stack Study Room (using an assumption of an equal assignment of space to stack and study area within the formula), 440- Processing Room, and 455-Study Service. For surplus/deficit estimations, these figures are aggregated to study, stack, and service space and then subset under Program Code 41- Library Services for application to campus central libraries (i.e., excludes departmental libraries and study areas within residential and other buildings).

State University. For all other UNC institutions, program considerations, and not planning standards, remain as the basis for justification for research space capital requests. A recommendation is in place to ultimately develop four categories of disciplines with corresponding ASF allowances per $1 million of averaged expenditures: 51

TABLE 12: ENROLLMENTS The two primary measures of student populations are full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment and headcount enrollment. FTE enrollment considers part-time students as fractions of full-time students through the use of conversion formulas which are described below. Headcount enrollment makes no distinction between full-time and part-time students. FTE enrollments are generally more relevant than headcount enrollments in making space utilization assessments. Table 12, therefore, reports only FTE enrollments. This section, however, does describe some data trends in headcount enrollment. FTE Enrollment FTE enrollment as used in this study is based on the fall enrollment. It is defined as the number of full-time students (those carrying at least 75 percent of the normal credit hour load) plus the equivalent number of students enrolled for less than 75 percent of the normal full-time load. In obtaining the undergraduate FTE enrollment figures for the University of North Carolina, a student carrying 12 or more credit hours is considered a full-time student. In those instances where a student takes less than 12 hours, the following method of calculating FTE students is used: a student with a load of nine through 11 credit hours is the equivalent of 3/4 FTE; the student with a six through eight credit hour load is the equivalent of ½ FTE; and a student with less than six credit hours is the equivalent of 1/4 FTE. In obtaining graduate FTE enrollment figures for the University of North Carolina, a student carrying nine or more credit hours is considered a full-time student. In those instances where a graduate student takes less than nine credit hours, the following method of equating is used: a student with a load of six through eight credit hours is the equivalent of 3/4 FTE; the student with a three through five credit hour load is the equivalent of ½ FTE; and a student with less than three credit hours is the equivalent of 1/4 FTE. The N.C. Community College System Office reports FTE based on its official class membership" hour formula for calculation. Sixteen class membership hours per week for 16 weeks equate to one fall semester FTE. The total fall credit FTE is based on the total class membership hours per week times sixteen weeks divided by 256 (16 membership hours times 16 weeks). For the community colleges, Table 12, for 2001-2004, lists only fall on-campus inventoried space) credit enrollments. Noncredit enrollments are not included. Instruction which took place in facilities not on a community college s facilities inventory was not considered in determining the FTE enrollments listed. For 2005, the fall on-campus credit FTE is provided, but as a means of comparison, the total fall credit FTE (representing both on-campus and off-campus credit instruction) is listed for all community colleges. Since private colleges and universities and the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina do not conduct a significant number of instructional courses off-campus, the total FTE enrollments which are listed may also be considered as approximating these institutions' campus-based enrollments. 54
Trends in Headcount Enrollments* In 2002, a projection study was completed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) which presents an estimate map of higher education headcount enrollments at the national level for the years 2000 through 2012, using enrollment data and demographic studies from the years 1988 to 2000.* Highlights of these projections are presented here. All Higher Education Institutions Between 1990 and 1992, higher education enrollment increased from 13.8 million to 14.5 million, a growth of five percent. In 1995, enrollment dropped to 14.3 million. It then increased from 14.4 million in 1996 to an estimated 15.3 million in 2000, an increase of six percent over the period. This enrollment is expected to increase to 17.7 million by the year 2012, an increase of 15 percent from 2000. Enrollments by Sex of Student Women played a major role in the increase of enrollment between 1990-2000. Enrollment of women increased from 7.5 million in 1990 to 8.6 million in 2000 (14 percent). This number is projected to increase to 10.1 million by the year 2012, or an additional 18 percent. Enrollment of men fluctuated between 6.3 million and 6.7 million between 1990 and 2000. This number is expected to increase to 7.5 million by 2012, a growth of 12 percent over the period. Women s share of college enrollments is projected to be 57% by 2012. Enrollments in Public and Private Institutions From 1990 to 1992, public institution enrollment grew from 10.8 million to 11.4 million. Enrollment then decreased to 11.1 million in 1995 followed by a rise to 11.8 million in 2000, for a net increase of eight percent over the period. This figure is expected to increase by another 15 percent to 13.5 million by the year 2012. Enrollment in private institutions grew from 3.0 million in 1990 to 3.6 million in 2000, an increase of 20 percent. Private enrollment is projected to reach a high of 4.1 million by 2012, which is an additional 16 percent growth. North Carolina institutions experienced a headcount enrollment increase of 2.8 percent in 2005. Public institutions showed a 2.9 percent increase, while private enrollments increased this year by 5.0 percent. Enrollments for men increased by 2.1 percent and women also by 3.3 percent. North Carolina's 2005 part-time enrollment increased by 6.6 percent while the state s full-time enrollment increased by 1.6 percent. *Gerald, Debra E. and Hussar, William J.; Projections of Education Statistics to 2012; U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2002. 55

Wilveria Bass Atkinson Science Building, Winston Salem State University This new $12.1 million Sciences Building is named after Dr. Wilveria Bass Atkinson, longtime WSSU faculty member, science education advocate, multi-million dollar research grant recipient, and namesake of an endowed chair. The 51,000 square foot structure houses chemistry, anatomy, physiology immunology, biotechnical, physics, and organic chemistry laboratories. It also has over 3,000 square feet of lecture hall space, a 1,600 square foot café for faculty, staff and students, and office space for the science disciplines.

TABLE 13: NET-TO-GROSS RATIO The net-to-gross ratio is the assignable (or net) area of a building or group of buildings divided by the gross area. It is generally used as a measure of the efficiency of a building: the higher the net-to-gross ratio, the more space that can be assigned to the various programs for which the building was intended. Simply stated, the gross area of a building is the sum of the floor areas of the outside faces of its exterior walls for all of the building's stories (or areas that have floor surfaces). A building's assignable area is the sum of all areas on all floors which are assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant or specific use. More specifically, it is the building's gross area less its building service, circulation, mechanical, and structural areas. Beginning in 1985, parking deck space was coded as nonassignable. This change in policy, while providing a truer picture of interior space characteristics, has the effect of decreasing the net-to-gross ratios of institutions with parking decks because gross area figures include these structures. The following institutions have parking decks (their gross areas are indicated in parentheses): Cape Fear Community College (6,177 sq. ft.), Central Piedmont Community College (555,136 sq. ft.), N.C. State University (954,004 sq. ft.), UNC at Chapel Hill-Health Affairs (1,673,270 sq. ft.), UNC at Chapel Hill-Academic Affairs (254,932 sq. ft.), UNC at Charlotte (782,950), UNC at Greensboro (773,960). In addition, the lower level of the octagon section of Duncan Hall at Appalachian State University (5,000 sq. ft.) is a parking deck and is, therefore, considered nonassignable. UNC-Asheville's dining hall also houses 38,654 gross square feet of parking deck space. Adjusted net-to-gross figures for these institutions, which eliminate parking decks entirely and thus provide a more accurate index of campus space efficiency, are as follows: Cape Fear Community College (63.1%), Central Piedmont Community College (63.1%), N.C. State University (66.4%), UNC at Chapel Hill-Health Affairs (53.0%), UNC at Chapel Hill Academic Affairs (64.5%), UNC at Charlotte (62.90%), UNC at Greensboro (55.5%), Appalachian State University (64.0%), UNC at Asheville (67.9%). If a renovation can increase the amount of assignable space in a building, then part of the cost of the renovation can be justified purely on a cost savings basis. Tables 19 and 20 suggest that new construction costs average $158 per gross square foot. Table 13 indicates that the average net-to-gross ratio is.617. This means that new construction costs are approximately $256 per assignable square foot. CONSTRUCTION COST/ASF = CONSTRUCTION COST/GSF NET-TO-GROSS RATIO CONSTRUCTION COST/ASF = $158 = $256.617 Thus every assignable square foot created through a renovation can be viewed as saving the institution $256 in new construction costs. 63

TABLE 14: PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF ASSIGNABLE AREA BY SUMMARY PROGRAMS AND SUBPROGRAMS All colleges and universities conduct a wide range of activities in pursuit of their missions as institutions of higher education. The Program Classification Structure, developed by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems in 1978, attempts to categorize these activities. The structure divides all of an institution's activities into ten major categories, called programs. Each program is divided into various subprograms. Virtually every activity and square foot of assignable space can be related to one of these subprograms. Table 14 reports for each institution the percentage of total assignable area which is classified under each program. Tables 14a-14d indicate these percentages for the subprograms. Definitions of the programs and subprograms are provided in the narratives which precede the tables. In Tables 14 and 14a-14d, the percentages relate the assignable square footage of the specified program or subprogram to the total assignable area for the institution. For Table 14, these percentages should in theory add to exactly 100.0, but in some cases they do not because of rounding. In Tables 14a-14d, the sums of the percentages reported for the subprograms comprising a certain program should in theory equal the percentage for that program as reported in Table 14. Again, they sometimes do not because of the rounding of the subprogram percentages. 66
PROGRAM DEFINITIONS The descriptions of programs and subprograms which precede Tables 14-14d are excerpted from Program Classification Structure: Technical Report 106 by Douglas J. Collier. 10 Instruction Program. This program includes activities carried out for the express purpose of eliciting some measure of educational change in a learner or group of learners. An instructional activity need not be eligible for credit in meeting specified formal curricular requirements leading to a post-secondary degree or certificate. 20 Research Program. Any activity intended to produce one or more research outcomes-- including the creation of knowledge, the organization of knowledge, and the application of knowledge--is included within this program. A research activity may be conducted with institutional funds or under the terms of agreement with an agency external to the institution. 30 Public Service. The Public Service Program includes activities established to make available to the public the various resources and capabilities of the institution for the specific purpose of responding to a community need or solving a community problem. 40 Academic Support Program. Any activity carried out in direct support of one or more of the Instruction (10), Research (20), and Public Service (30) Programs is classified as Academic Support. 50 Student Service Program. The objective of the Student Service Program is to contribute to the emotional and physical well-being of the students, as well as to their intellectual, cultural, and social development outside of the context of the institution's formal Instruction Program. 60 Institutional Administration Program. This program consists of those activities carried out to provide for both the day-to-day functioning and the long-range viability of the institution as an operating organization. The ultimate goal of the Institutional Administration Program is to provide for the institution's organizational effectiveness and continuity. 70 Physical Plant Operations Program. Activities related to maintaining existing grounds and facilities, providing utility services, and planning and designing future plant expansions and modifications are included within the Physical Plant Operations Program. 67
80 Student Financial Support Program. This program includes only the financial assistance provided to students in the form of outright grants, trainee stipends, and prizes, awarded by and/or administered through the institution. Although it is part of the Program Classification Structure, this program applies only to funds and not to space or activities. It is not, therefore, used in facilities inventories. 90 Independent Operations Program. Those institutional activities that are owned or controlled by the institution as investments, and which are financed as part of the institution's current operations, comprise the Independent Operations Program. 00 Unassigned. Facilities that are not in use at the time of the inventory are classified under this program. It is unique to facilities management and is not included in the Program Classification Structure. 68

TABLE 14a: INSTRUCTION, RESEARCH AND PUBLIC SERVICE SUBPROGRAMS Table 14a indicates the percentages of institutional square footage under the Instruction, Research, and Public Service Subprograms. The definitions of these subprograms follow. Subprograms which are described but which are not included in Table 14a had no square footage assigned to them by institutions. 11 General Academic Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings intended both to prepare learners, in a generalized sense, to function in a number of different occupations and to prepare them for further academic study. Instructional offerings of this general academic nature are classified in this subprogram only if they are offered as part of one of the institution's formal degree or certificate programs. 12 Vocational/Technical Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings intended to prepare learners for immediate entry into a specific occupation or career. Instructional offerings are classified in this subprogram only if they are offered as part of one of the institution's formal degree or certificate programs. 13 Requisite Preparatory/Remedial Instruction. This category includes those instructional offerings carried out to provide the learner with the skills or knowledge required by the institution to undertake course work leading to a postsecondary degree or certificate. 14 General Studies. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings that are not part of one of the institution's formal postsecondary degree or certificate programs and that are intended to provide the learner with knowledge, skills, and attitudes typically associated with an academic discipline (such as literature, mathematics, philosophy). 15 Occupational-Related Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings that are not carried out as part of a formal certificate or degree program but that are offered to provide the learner with knowledge, skills, and background related to a specific occupation or career. 16 Social Roles/Interaction Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings that are not carried out as part of a certificate or degree program but that are offered to provide the learner with knowledge, skills, and background needed to function as a member of society or to interact with the variety of social institutions. It also includes those offerings that deal with the person as a member of a particular social organization or institution. 73
17 Home and Family Life Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional offerings that are not offered as part of a certificate or degree program, but which are carried out to provide the learner with knowledge, skills, and capabilities related to the establishment, maintenance, and improvement of a home; to the carrying out of those functions typically associated with the conduct of a household; or to the person's responsibilities as a member of the family unit. 18 Personal Interest and Leisure Instruction. This subprogram includes those instructional activities that are not offered as part of a certificate or degree program, but which are carried out to support an individual's recreational or vocational pursuits or to improve his or her day-to-day living skills. 21 Institutes and Research Centers. This subprogram includes all research activities conducted within the framework of a formal research organization except for those conducted under the 21 federally funded research centers. (There are no federally funded research centers in North Carolina.) 22 Individual or Project Research. This subprogram includes those research activities that normally are managed within the academic departments. Such research activities usually have a stated goal or purpose, have projected outcomes, and generally are created for specific time periods as a result of a contract, grant, or specific time allocation of institutional resources. Research which is carried out as an instructional activity, however, is classified under the appropriate Instructional Subprogram. 31 Direct Patient Care. This subprogram includes those activities carried out for the specific purpose of providing direct patient care (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, education, rehabilitation, and so forth). These services are typically rendered under the auspices of a teaching hospital or health-sciences center and are provided for the benefit of a clientele in the community-at-large rather than for the institution's own student body or faculty and staff. 32 Health Care Supportive Services. This subprogram includes those activities that are unique to a teaching hospital, health-science center, or clinic and that directly support the provision of health care, but which cannot themselves legitimately be considered part of the provision of direct patient care. 33 Community Services. This subprogram consists of resources, services, and expertise made available to persons and groups outside of the context of the institution's regular Instruction, Research, and support programs that are not included in the other Public Service Subprograms (i.e., 31, 32, 34, and 35). Activities within this subprogram differ from those under Cooperative Extension Services (34) in that they are generally sponsored and controlled by the institution; extension services usually involve a sharing of programmatic and fiscal control with an outside agency. 74
34 Cooperative Extension Services. This subprogram includes those activities that make resources, services, and expertise available outside the Instruction, Research, and support programs and that are conducted as cooperative efforts with outside agencies. A distinguishing feature of the activities included in this subprogram is that programmatic and fiscal control is usually shared with one or more external agencies or governmental units. 35 Public Broadcasting Services. This subprogram includes the operation and maintenance of broadcasting services that are operated outside the context of the institution's Instruction, Research, and support programs. Excluded from this category are broadcasting services that are conducted primarily in support of instruction, broadcasting services that are primarily operated as a student-broadcasting club, and broadcasting activities that are independent operations. 75

TABLE 14b: ACADEMIC SUPPORT SUBPROGRAMS Table 14b indicates the percentages of institutional square footage under each of the Academic Support Subprograms. The definitions of these subprograms follow. Subprograms which are described but which are not included in Table 14b had no square footage assigned to them by institutions. 41 Library Services. This subprogram includes those activities that directly support the collection, cataloging, storage, and distribution of published materials in support of one or more of the institution's primary programs. This subprogram applies only to library services which are separately funded; departmental libraries are included under the appropriate Instruction Subprogram. 42 Museums and Galleries. This subprogram includes those activities related to the collection, preservation, and exhibition of historical materials, art objects, scientific displays, and so forth, that support one or more of the institution's primary programs. This subprogram applies only to museums and galleries which are separately funded; departmental exhibit areas are included under the appropriate Instruction Subprogram. 43 Educational Media Services. This subprogram includes those audio, visual, and other technological services that have been established to provide direct support for the institution's Instruction, Research, and Public Service Programs. 44 Academic Computer Support. This subprogram includes those computer services that have been established to provide direct support for one or more of the institution's primary programs. It does not include administrative data-processing services and computing support. 45 Ancillary Support. This subprogram includes those activities that directly contribute to the way in which instruction is delivered or research is conducted but that cannot be appropriately classified as educational media services or academic computing support. 46 Academic Administration. This subprogram consists of those activities that provide administrative and management support specifically for the institution's academic programs. It includes the activities of the college deans, the administrative activities of departmental chairpersons, and the activities of their associated support staff, but it does not include the activities of those whose responsibilities are institution-wide and involve duties outside of the academic realm. 80
47 Course and Curriculum Development. This subprogram includes only those formal planning and development activities established either to improve or to add to the institution's curriculum. Those activities that individual faculty members carry out to update and improve their current course offerings are included under the appropriate Instruction Subprogram. 48 Academic Personnel Development.

TABLE 15: ASSIGNABLE AREA BY ROOM CODE Just as all assignable space can be categorized by program (Table 14), it can also be classified by use of the room. A system of codes has been developed which includes virtually all types of rooms, in terms of specific use, which can be found at a college or university. The Room Use Code Structure is summarized on pp. 93-94; specific definitions can be found in the Higher Education Facilities Commission's Facilities Inventory and Utilization Manual (fifth edition). This updated manual incorporates the codes and definitions presented in the 1992 national Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual. Table 15 provides percentage distributions among the ten major room use code divisions. In theory, the sums of the percentages should always equal to 100.0, but they do not for some institutions because of rounding. The data from the 1974 HEGIS facilities survey, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, serve as the basis for norms. The following chart reports these norms and summarizes the corresponding data from Table 15. These norms are not applicable to the public two-year institutions, which represent the Community College System, because they have almost no residential space. For these schools, the subtotal for "Community Colleges" in Table 15 may serve as a norm. All N.C. Institutions Room Use Code Norm (%) 2005 (%) Classroom (Series 100) 8.0 9.6 Laboratory (Series 200) 14.5 16.9 Office(Series 300) 13.0 19.5 Study (Series 400) 6.8 6.4 Special Use (Series 500) 8.9 9.3 General Use (Series 600) 12.0 10.5 Support (Series 700) 6.5 4.2 Health Care (Series 800) 1.4 1.8 Residential (Series 900) 26.7 18.1 Unclassified (Series 000) 2.2 3.6 92

TABLE 16: ASSIGNABLE SQUARE FEET PER STUDENT STATION FOR CLASSROOMS The number of students that a classroom can accommodate is an important factor in determining how efficiently classroom space is used. This can be measured in terms of assignable square feet per student station and the average number of stations per classroom. The assignable square feet per student station in a classroom is largely determined by the number and type of stations in the room. Generally, rooms with relatively large numbers of stations require less space per station. As for types of stations, tables and chairs require more space per station than standard student desks, which require more space than theater seating. Although the space required per station can vary from less than ten assignable square feet to more than 30, the University of North Carolina has adopted a standard of 18 square feet per station. The Higher Education Facilities Planning and Management Manuals (page 62 of Manual Two) list norms which are based on the number and type of station: Assignable Square Feet Per Station Criteria Number ASF for ASF for ASF for of Tables and Armchair Desks Armchair Desks Stations Chairs Small Large 10-19 20-30 18 22 20-29 20-30 16 20 30-39 20-25 15 18 40-59 18-22 14 16 60-99 18-22 13 15 100-149 16-20 11 14 150-299 16-20 10 14 300 + 16-18 9 12 The average number of stations per classroom tends to vary according to the size and instructional philosophy of the institution. Graduate institutions and institutions which rely heavily on large lecture courses will generally have large numbers of stations per classroom. 100

TABLE 17: ASSIGNABLE SQUARE FEET PER STUDENT STATION FOR CLASS LABORATORIES The square footage per student station in class laboratories varies to a greater extent than in classrooms because of the widely differing space requirements of the various kinds of laboratories. An automotive lab, for example, usually requires much more space per station than a chemistry lab. In general, institutions which offer academic programs in such areas as agriculture, engineering, or medicine, or in vocational/technical programs such as automotive mechanics, textiles, and welding require more class lab space per station than do institutions which focus on liberal arts, business, and education. Moreover, graduate level laboratories usually require more space per station than undergraduate labs. The University of North Carolina has developed ASF-per-station standards for four discipline categories of space (see Table 11-Space Standards): Highly Intensive - 108 ASF Intensive - 70 ASF Moderately Intensive - 50 ASF Non-Intensive - 33 ASF (Includes Engineering (including Textiles), Applied Design, Dance, and Dramatic Arts). (Includes Architecture, Health Professions, Library Science, and Physical Sciences). (Includes Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Communications, Computer/Information Technologies, Education, Art, Home Economics, Law, Psychology). (Includes Business, Cinematography, Music, Languages, Letters, Mathematics, Public Affairs, Social Sciences). 104

Carol G. Belk Library, Appalachian State University Appalachian State University held a dedication ceremony for the new 210,000 square foot Belk Library and Information Commons on September 15, 2005. This $47.6 million dollar facility houses more than 850,000 bound volumes, 1.5 million microforms, and thousands of maps, videos and other materials. The 139,077 linear feet of shelving is the equivalent of 26.34 miles. The five floor structure has 29 group study halls, 250 computer workstations, 125 seat lecture hall, and the Wired Scholar coffee shop, a cybercafé that serves an array of coffee drinks and smoothies, along with breakfast pastries, soups, salads and sandwiches.the project which was funded by the statewide bond referendum passed by voters in 2000, also includes a 300- vehicle parking deck.

TABLE 18: OWNERSHIP OF BUILDINGS Many campus buildings are not owned by the institutions which use them. This table provides data on the ownership status of institutional facilities. The gross square footage of each institution has been classified under eight ownership categories: 1 Owned in fee simple. 2 Title vested in the institution and being paid for on an amortization schedule, regardless of whether the building is shared with another institution or organization. 3 Title vested in holding company or building corporation to which payments are being made by the institution; title will ultimately pass to the institution (includes leasepurchase arrangements). 4 Not owned by the institution, but leased or rented to the institution at a typical local rate. 5 Not owned by the institution, but made available to the institution either at no cost or at a nominal rate. 6 Not owned by the institution, but shared with an educational organization that is not a postsecondary institution. 7 Not owned by the institution, but shared with another postsecondary educational institution. 8 Other (e.g., not owned by the institution, but shared with a noneducational institution). Ownership for institutions of the University of North Carolina represents ownership by the State of North Carolina. Ownership of community and technical colleges represents ownership by local trustees and reflects expenditures primarily from local fund sources which are supplemented by state and federal funds. Ownership of the private institutions resides with the institution's trustees. The sums of the percentages for each institution should in theory add to exactly 100.0, but in some cases they do not because of rounding. 111

TABLES 19 & 20: CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN BUILDINGS Building cost, as used here, refers to the institution's initial capital investment in a building. For a facility which is built by the institution, the building cost is the cost of construction of the structure and its fixed equipment. For buildings which are purchased, the acquisition cost is applicable. The replacement value of a building, on the other hand, represents the estimated cost of constructing a new facility containing an equal amount of space which is designed for the same use as the original building and which meets all of the current commonlyaccepted standards of construction. For institutional buildings which were in existence prior to 1972, the replacement value was first estimated using 1972 construction cost data. Since then, it has been increased each year using factors obtained annually from construction cost publications. For buildings constructed since 1972, the building cost is the base upon which these replacement value factors are applied. From 1972-83, the replacement value factors were derived from building cost data reported for the Atlanta region in the Engineering News Record. From 1984-1987, the Dodge Building Cost Indexes for U. S. and Canadian Cities, published by McGraw-Hill Cost Information Systems, was used to determine the replacement value factors. Since 1987, due to a lapse in the publishing of the Dodge publication, the R. S. Means Construction Cost Indexes report, which follows a calculation methodology similar to the Dodge report, has been used to construct this index. Factors calculated from the Means publication are derived by computing an average of the construction cost increases for Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem. The following are the factors which have been used to increase the estimated replacement values each year. They reflect the increases in construction costs which have occurred since 1987. Due to the rise in the cost of concrete and steel, the annual increases for 2004 and 2005 are substantially higher in comparison to previous years. Relative increases over this period are portrayed in the graph. Annual Annual Annual Year Increase Year Increase Year Increase 1988 2.7% 1994 2.0% 2000 1.6% 1989 3.7% 1995 4.0% 2001 2.8% 1990 1.5% 1996 2.1% 2002 2.0% 1991 1.4% 1997 1.8% 2003 1.3% 1992 1.8% 1998 1.2% 2004 12.6% 1993 2.2% 1999 2.4% 2005 9.8% 114
RELATIVE INCREASES IN CONSTRUCTION COSTS YEAR Because building cost represents an institution's capital investment in a facility, only buildings which are owned by the institution (i.e., those falling under ownership categories 1-3 on page 111) are included in calculating total cost. Replacement value, on the other hand, is a reflection of all buildings on an institution's campus, regardless of their ownership status. The data are categorized as non-residential (Table 19) and residential (Table 20). Buildings with twenty percent or more of their space in each category are considered combination buildings and appear in both tables. The tables accurately reflect the number of buildings with non-residential space and the number with residential space, but the sum will exceed the total number of buildings on the campuses which have combination buildings. Other data are distributed between the two tables on the basis of the ratio of the assignable square feet in the category to the total assignable square feet in the building. Thus, campus totals may be determined accurately by summing the appropriate data in the two tables, with the exception noted. 115
