“…you shall above all things be glad and  young
For if you’re glad and young,
whatever life you wear it will become you;
and if you are glad whatever’s living
will yourself become…”

    We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month.

    We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.

  • Excess Capacity
    11:00 -12:00
    2025.06.02

    Here are terms of art commonly used to describe low occupancy rates or low space usage factors in schools, colleges, and universities:
    1. Underutilization – Refers to spaces or facilities in educational institutions that are not used to their full capacity.
    2. Low Occupancy Rate – The percentage of available space or seats in a facility that remains unoccupied during a given period.
    3. Space Utilization Rate – A metric indicating the extent to which physical spaces (classrooms, labs, etc.) are being used, often low when spaces are underused.
    4. Idle Capacity – Describes resources or spaces within an institution that are not actively used or scheduled.
    5. Excess Capacity – When the available space or facilities exceed the demand or actual usage.
    6. Low Enrollment Impact – Refers to reduced space usage due to lower-than-expected student enrollment.
    7. Vacant Space – Areas within a campus (e.g., classrooms, dorms, or offices) that remain unoccupied or unused.
    8. Underused Facilities – Buildings, rooms, or resources that are not fully engaged in academic or operational activities.
    9. Space Inefficiency – A term describing the suboptimal use of available space relative to its potential.
    10. Ghost Space – Informal term for areas that are rarely or never used, remaining empty for extended periods.
    11. Unoccupied Seat Ratio – The proportion of available seats in classrooms or lecture halls that are not filled.
    12. Facility Downtime – Periods when spaces like auditoriums or labs are not in use.
    13. Low Utilization Factor – A metric used in space management to indicate below-optimal use of facilities.
    14. Empty Classroom Syndrome – A colloquial term for classrooms that remain empty or sparsely used during scheduled hours.
    15. Space Surplus – When the available physical space exceeds the institution’s current needs.
    16. Non-Optimized Space Allocation – Refers to the inefficient assignment of spaces for classes or activities, leading to underuse.
    17. Low Footfall Areas – Campus zones with minimal student, staff, or visitor traffic, indicating low usage.
    18. Unused Capacity – Similar to idle capacity, focusing on resources or spaces that are available but not utilized.
    19. Vacancy Rate – A term borrowed from real estate, used to describe the percentage of unused space in dormitories or other facilities.
    20. Scheduling Inefficiency – Low space usage due to suboptimal scheduling of classes or events, leaving spaces empty during peak hours.
    21. Dormitory Underoccupancy – Specific to residential facilities, where dorm rooms or beds remain unassigned or empty.
    22. Classroom Vacancy – Refers to empty or underused classrooms during scheduled academic hours.
    23. Space Redundancy – When institutions maintain more space than necessary for their current operations.
    24. Low Space Efficiency – A broad term for spaces that are not used effectively in terms of time, capacity, or purpose.
    25. Operational Underuse – Describes facilities that are not fully integrated into the institution’s operational or academic activities.
    These terms are often used in facilities management, enrollment planning, and campus space optimization discussions to address inefficiencies and plan for better resource allocation. If you need further clarification or examples for any of these, let me know!

    Flags

    Flag Day in the United States, observed on June 14th, commemorates the adoption of the American flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777. It’s a day to honor the symbol of the nation’s unity, freedom, and democracy. The flag represents the ideals and principles upon which the country was founded, including liberty, justice, and equality.

    On Flag Day, Americans typically display the flag at their homes and businesses, participate in patriotic ceremonies, and reflect on the significance of the flag in American history and culture. It’s also a time to remember the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve in defense of the nation. Flag Day serves as a reminder of the values that bind Americans together as one nation, under the banner of the stars and stripes.

    EVERY MOMENT IN business happens only once. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. - Peter Thiel

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Today at 11 AM/ET we update our understanding of best practice literature relevant to the information and communication technology enterprises in education communities.  Our online meetings coincides with the day of two IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee teleconferences at 14:00 Central European time and 2:00 PM Eastern time in the Americas.   Starting 2023 we have begun to break down our coverage of information and communication technology embedded in campus buildings into two modules – Infotech 200 and Infotech 400.

  • Illumination 400
    11:00 -12:00
    2025.06.24

    Illumination technologies have had a pattern of consuming about 35 percent of building electrical energy use.  That number has been pressed downward with the expanded application of LED luminaires and occupant responsive controls; much of the transformation hastened by the IEEE, IES and ASHRAE best practice catalogs.

    Today we run through the development status of these products with specific interest in exterior illumination best practice.  This topic also is covered in the 4 time monthly meetings of the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee.

    University endowments are comprised of money or other financial assets that are donated to academic institutions. Charitable donations are the primary source of funds for endowments. Endowment funds support the teaching, research, and public service missions of colleges and universities.  In the case of endowment funds for academic institutions, the income generated is intended to finance a portion of the operating or capital requirements of the institution.  Today we will pick through few reports where safety and sustainability claims are listed and described.
