How can institutions measure the efficiency of campus space use and communicate to stakeholders to create buy-in and lead to better use of facilities and resources? University of Central Florida (UCF) conducted a comprehensive space utilization analysis and took a bold stance on making the best use of existing space to implement institutional priorities. This session will delve into UCF's steady enrollment, growing research, underutilized space, and evolving work policies. Come learn how to develop integrated data and metrics to measure teaching, office, and research space utilization, and how the process and navigating campus politics lead to successful outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Communicate the nuances of space utilization data to leadership, faculty, and researchers
  2. Focus faculty and staff office space discussions on practical solutions that everyone can agree on.
  3. Explain how to leverage utilization data to implement strategic goals and right-size facility improvements.
