Facility utilization

How intensively each institution uses its classrooms. Utilization is the average hours per day a room is occupied, over every room in inventory (idle rooms count zero); seat fill is enrollment as a share of the room’s inferred capacity. Cross-listed classes are counted once. Summer terms are low by design.

A room is any distinct building + room a class met in (online/TBA excluded). Occupancy = sum of distinct meeting slots (co-scheduled classes counted once) ÷ 5 weekdays. Rooms are attributed to the college/subject that used them most, so idle rooms still count against their owner. Only classes with enrollment > 0 count. Inferred capacity = the largest class that actually enrolled in the room (the scheduled cap is unreliable), so seat fill is measured against that observed peak. See ADR-012.
