Notes: |
The National Center for Education Statistics' definition of "classroom," as defined in Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, November 1992, is used: |
|
Included in this category [110] are rooms generally used for scheduled instruction requiring no special equipment and referred to as lecture rooms,
lecture-demonstration rooms, seminar rooms, and general purpose classrooms.
This category does not include conference rooms (350), meeting rooms (680), auditoriums (610), or class laboratories (210). |
|
The "% utilization" for each hour is the ratio of the classroom time in use during the hour to the total classroom time available for use. Each room is counted once, regardless of the class size, though a class meeting for more than one hour can be counted as being in use in more than one time slot. A "passing" period is included in the duration of each class, to allow time for arrival and departure. |
