Benchmarking: A New Approach to Space Planning

By: Ira Fink

An alternative approach uses space benchmarking and faculty head count for predicting space needs.

From Volume 27 Number 3 | Spring 1999

Abstract: Examines traditional assumptions underlying space management and proposes an alternative approach to projecting space use. Specifically, the author recommends making projections based on space per faculty rather than space per student, and then comparing these projections with the space allocation at peer institutions. Problems with traditional methods of space allocation are discussed, as is the process of implementing this approach and identifying comparable institutions.

By: Barry Munitz,,Thomas Ehrlich,Jane V. Wellman

Higher education cannot rely upon traditional assumptions to frame a future vision.

From Volume 26 Number 3 | Spring 1998

Abstract: To facilitate successful planning in an environment of great social, environmental, and technological change coupled with limited resources, planning efforts must work simultaneously on the external policy level and the internal, institutional one. Examines the American Council on Education Policy Commission and the California State University Cornerstones project for clues on how to plan on both levels and work towards common goals.
