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.

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

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
