To support the\u00a0development of the Plan, a Campus Space Planning study\u00a0was undertaken to provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An Existing Space Inventory, as database of existing\u00a0University indoor space; and<\/li>\n<li>A Utilization Study, providing an understanding of\u00a0use of campus teaching space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the above, to further support the Campus\u00a0Master Plan, the following was undertaken to help guide\u00a0the implementation strategy for the Plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Space Projections, translating enrolment data into\u00a0component Space Projections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The process included an inventory of the campus space,\u00a0translating student FTE predictions into high-level space\u00a0projections for teaching, research, administrative, student,\u00a0central and support spaces, and reviewing the current\u00a0utilization of teaching space.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the three parts of the study collectively\u00a0concluded that, when considering the total amount\u00a0of existing net assignable area available for primary\u00a0academic purposes, with the existing frequency of use\u00a0of teaching rooms, and the occupancy of space therein,\u00a0that the University has sufficient space to meet present\u00a0Undergraduate and Graduate loading requirements.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the total space allocation meets and\u00a0exceeds industry standard space requirements per BU\u2019s\u00a0undergraduate and graduate enrolment numbers, there\u00a0exists over and under allocation of that total space across\u00a0components. This is particularly noted for the Research\u00a0Laboratory category of space which is under allocated.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead ten years into the future, inputting BU\u2019s\u00a0projected enrolments across Faculties and Schools, and\u00a0anticipating that the University would take measures to\u00a0reach industry standard utilization rates for its spaces, it\u00a0is projected that the University will outgrow its current\u00a0inventory of space in the Year 2025. It should be noted\u00a0that this calculation does not factor in the existing life\u00a0span or physical state of current buildings on campus.\u00a0Further studies examining the Campus\u2019 infrastructure\u00a0from structural, mechanical and electrical perspectives\u00a0are recommended, in addition to targeted functional\u00a0programs that would address the specific strategic growth\u00a0plans and requirements of each Faculty and School, as\u00a0well as certain other important stakeholders including the\u00a0University\u2019s student body and affiliated services as well\u00a0as the administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus Use of Space Plan An overarching goal of the University, is \u201cto maximize the value to students staff and the regional communities of the current campus and to inform future development plans by identifying shortages, deficiencies and spaces that could be re-purposed to provide the most effective services and utilization of resources.\u201d As well, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":647,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-654","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":764,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/654\/revisions\/764"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
