Cultural Arts Building
UNC Wilmington
(Cover Page)
Completed in September 2006, UNCW's $33.4 million Cultural Arts Building is a 104,830
square foot academic and performance facility, housing three arts oriented academic disciplines,
Art & Art History, Music and Theatre in a technologically advanced environment of the highest
performance capability and learning potential.
This facility includes smart classrooms, lecture halls, a shared computer lab with
discipline-specific equipment, graphic design and printmaking studios, student rehearsal rooms, recording
studios, archive rooms, costume and scene shops, and state-of-the-art performance and exhibition
spaces. The art gallery is the primary exhibit hall for the department of Art and Art History. The
gallery houses many of the department's student and faculty exhibitions as well as guest exhibits
from throughout the country.
The Black Box Theatre is an intimate, flexible space used for both performance and instruction.
Performances in the Black Box Theatre tend toward the experimental or contemporary, and are
also home to smaller-scale student productions. The dance studio is a flexible space used by the
theatre program as both a rehearsal hall and performance venue that houses all dance movement
courses and performances.
The 295-seat Proscenium Theatre is home to the theatre program's main-stage productions. The
new state-of-the-art facility includes a full orchestra pit, balcony seating, and superior sound and
light capabilities.
The Department of Music's 280-seat recital hall is a state-of-the-art facility customized to suit the
majority of the department's recitals and concerts. While the Wind Symphony and larger jazz
ensembles continue to perform at Kenan Auditorium, chamber ensembles, choral performances,
small jazz and brass ensembles, and student and faculty recitals are held at the new music recital
hall. In October 2006, Chamber Music Wilmington made the UNCW music recital hall their
new home, bringing to the campus a wide variety of world-class chamber musicians.
Partnerships such as this, coupled with a full year of Department of Music sponsored events and
superior acoustics, make this recital hall one of the finest in the region.

Foreword
This study, the fortieth in the annual series of facilities inventory and utilization studies,
reflects the status of space in North Carolina institutions of higher education at the end of the
drop-add period of the 2006 fall term at each college. It also gives indications of the uses being
made of the space and provides, where feasible, norms and historical information for the past
five years to enable institutions to make their own assessments of their facilities.
In order to realize substantial savings in printing costs, the Facilities Inventory and
Utilization Study is being published in its entirety online and can be found at
www.northcarolina.edu/pres/publications/publications.cfm. Hardcopy versions of this
publication will be available only upon request for the cost of printing. Statistics for the
participating private institutions are shown by group, rather than by institution, because of the
agreement made with these institutions when the project was initiated. Annually, each institution
is forwarded its own data and can then make a self-assessment on the basis of these data, its
historical record, group data, and the norms cited for the various tables.
The purposes of this study include providing facilities data to state authorities, making
data on North Carolina facilities available to other commissions for comparative purposes, and
providing participating institutions with data, which may be helpful in the management of their
facilities. This report presents selected summary information from the quantities of data
assembled in the 2006 comprehensive planning studies. Other studies have been conducted
resulting in detailed information pertinent to this study. This information has been incorporated
into this study to continually broaden the information available. Detailed facility condition
information for UNC institutions presented on page 126 is such an example.
Public senior institutions, community and technical colleges, and participating private
institutions throughout the state have cooperated fully in time, energy, and funds to provide data
for the studies. The participating institutions are listed in the preceding section. The gathering
and review of data for the studies have been accomplished through the joint effort of the agencies
providing membership to the Facilities Technical Committee.
The Project Officers of the participating institutions deserve special recognition for the
tremendous job they have done in providing the basic data for this study. The commission staff
also expresses appreciation to members of the Facilities Advisory Commission for their advice
and counsel through the years.

Introduction
The efficient use of campus facilities is of increasing concern to most colleges and
universities. This concern is partially a reflection of the high costs involved in constructing and
maintaining buildings, but it also stems from a broader recognition of the importance of facilities
planning. The effective allocation and utilization of space is essential if an institution of higher
education is to maximize its resources in accomplishing its objectives in the areas of instruction,
research, and public service.
The primary purpose of the Facilities Inventory and Utilization Study is to provide higher
education administrators with a detailed statistical profile of the facilities of their own campuses and
of the other colleges and universities in North Carolina. The study also presents data which can
provide the basis for comparative assessments of the extent to which space is used for instructional
purposes. In short, this publication is intended as an important analytical tool for use in facilities
planning. It is published annually by the State Commission on Higher Education Facilities, which is
part of the University of North Carolina-General Administration.
Institutions Included
The study provides data for 78 institutions of higher education in North Carolina. This
universe includes all of the sixteen public senior institutions, which comprise the University of
North Carolina, 4 private non-profit colleges and universities, and the 58 public two-year
institutions, which represent the Community College System. In addition, data are provided for
UNC Hospitals at Chapel Hill, a part of the University of North Carolina. The participating colleges
and universities are listed by type of institution on pages v-ix, along with the name of the President
or Chancellor and the commission's project officer for each school. An alphabetical listing of these
institutions, including mailing addresses and other information, can be found on pages 157-159.
Beginning in the Fall of 2002, the 38 private institutions participating in the data collection
were given the option of continuing the yearly assessment of their facilities on a fee for service
basis. Of the 38 campuses, Barton College, Campbell University, Mars Hill College, and Pfeiffer
University have elected to participate in 2006. These institutions’ data will continue to be displayed
as a total under General Baccalaureate Colleges. Each of these participating institutions is provided
with building, room, and utilization reports for their campus, and will retain the ability to request
special data analysis as part of this service. Campuses that rejoin the data collection effort under the
fee for service agreement will be added at the beginning of each data collection cycle. The Major
Research Universities and the Junior College categories will display blanks for the current year data,
but will continue to show historical previous year data.
Because of the unique facilities requirements of health affairs complexes and medical
schools, data for the Division of Health Affairs at East Carolina University and the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill are listed separately from their parent campuses. For similar
reasons, the Higher Education Facilities Commission separately lists the data for North Carolina
State University's School of Veterinary Medicine.
Types of Data Collected
The study is divided into four sections which reflect the four broad categories of facilities
data which are reported: the utilization of instructional space, interior space characteristics, building
characteristics, and accessibility of facilities to the mobility impaired. The section on the utilization
of instructional space provides ratios, percentages, and indices which relate the amount of
instructional activity at an institution to various categories of campus space. The section dealing
with interior space characteristics statistically describes campus space by its uses and the programs
to which it is assigned. It also provides data relating the sizes and capacities of classrooms and class
laboratories. The building characteristics section focuses on such data elements as building age,
condition, and replacement cost. The final section describes the amount and type of campus space
which is accessible to persons who are confined to wheelchairs.
This study is designed to provide only a "snapshot" of institutional facilities at a particular
point in time. Facilities data reflect all buildings which were completed as of October 1 of the year
of the study. Utilization data reflect only the courses which were under way as of the drop-add
period of the fall term. The data do not take into account any instructional activity that occurred
during the spring semester or quarter.
It should also be noted that different types of institutions will often have very different space
needs. As a result, two institutions with facilities which are equally well-utilized may have
significantly different utilization data. Thus, it is generally unwise to attempt to make comparisons
between two institutions which are dissimilar in terms of their levels or the instructional programs
which they offer. Peer comparisons provide the most reliable means of assessment.
Procedures Used in Collecting Data
The Higher Education Facilities Commission maintains an annually updated, computer-based
facilities inventory of each institution included in the study. A facilities inventory is comprised of a
Building Characteristic Report and a Room Characteristic Report. The Building Characteristic
Report lists and provides detailed information about each building on an institution's campus. The
Room Characteristic Report lists every room in each building and provides information about its size
and capacity. Each room is also coded to reflect its use and the institutional programs which it
supports.
Each fall every institution supplies the commission staff with a list of changes in its facilities
inventory occurring since the previous fall. Most of the colleges and universities provide these data
by annotating a copy of their previous year's inventory. An institution may choose, however, to
provide its facilities update data by supplying the commission with a personal computer file,
electronic mail, or FTP (file transfer protocol) transmission of its current facilities inventory.
Space utilization data are based on the annual submission by each institution of a list of
its fall term courses. For each course, the institution provides information indicating when and
where the class meets and the number of students enrolled. Many institutions also provide these
data on diskette, or by E-mail or FTP. The others supply their utilization data on computer
printouts or on specially designed utilization forms, and the commission keys this information
onto master mainframe files. Each institution's course data are run against its updated facilities
inventory to generate the Instructional Space Utilization Report. This report indicates how
effectively an institution uses its facilities and measures its need for classroom and laboratory
space in relation to comparable institutions.
Schools which need help in updating their facilities inventories or compiling utilization data
are provided technical assistance by the commission staff. Questions are answered by telephone, or
if a problem is particularly complex, a campus visit is arranged. The commission staff also assists
institutions by taking the measurements of new buildings for which the institutions have provided
blueprints. For the past several years, because of improved in-house data processing capabilities, the
commission has provided data search services, software, special analyses, and facilities survey
assistance to participating institutions making such special requests.
Both the facilities inventory updates and the utilization data from each school are reviewed
carefully by the commission staff. Extensive computer edits are also used as a means of ensuring
accuracy and consistency. When problems are discovered, the institutions are contacted for
additional information or corrections.
Every year each institution receives one copy of its updated Building and Room
Characteristic Reports and its Instructional Space Utilization Report. Also provided is one copy of
the Building Data Summary Report, which analyzes in detail the institution's building data, and a
number of statistical tables which describe the institution's assignable area and its accessible space in
terms of their use and the programs to which they are assigned. The reports and tables are also
supplied to the Finance Division of the University of North Carolina-General Administration (UNC
constituent institutions only), and to the N.C. Community College System office (two-year public
institutions only).
Limitations and Special Situations
This study contains reliable and useful information concerning the facilities of colleges and
universities in North Carolina and their utilization for instructional purposes. It is important,
however, to note two limitations in the data provided.
Although campus facilities would generally be viewed as including such assets as parking
lots, tennis courts, and radio control towers, this study is limited to data relating to buildings. For
purposes of the study, a building is defined as any roofed structure. This definition includes trailers
and other mobile units.
Because of technical problems in collecting course information from medical schools and
related programs, utilization data are not supplied by the Division of Health Affairs at East Carolina
University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, UNC Hospitals at Chapel Hill, or the
North Carolina State University School of Veterinary Medicine. They are, therefore, excluded from
most of the utilization tables. Separate enrollment figures are provided for these divisions, however,
and Table 2 includes utilization data for the Veterinary School and the two Divisions of Health
Affairs at public institutions (although these data are excluded from all totals).
Special situations exist at several institutions which can affect both the reporting and
summarization of utilization data. These situations are described below to enable reviewers to make
more accurate and fair comparisons among different institutions.
N. C. School of the Arts instructs secondary school students as well as students at the
college level. To reflect this fact, high school courses conducted at the campus were also considered
in calculating student clock hours. The high school students were not included in the full-time
equivalent enrollment figures for this institution, however. In Table 2, this has the effect of
significantly underestimating the total utilization of academic space for the N.C. School of the Arts.
It should also be noted that the programs conducted at the N.C. School of the Arts inherently require
significantly more space per student than at other constituent institutions of the University of North
Carolina. Comparisons of this institution's utilization with that of any other college or university
would, therefore, be misleading.
N.C. State University and N.C. A&T State University similarly show an above-average
square footage of academic facilities per FTE student (Table 2) and understated utilization of
academic space in other tables. This is due to these institutions’ extensive instruction and research
programs in Agriculture and Engineering, which require significantly more academic space per FTE
student than is typical of other general academic programs.
Western Carolina University conducts a number of courses on the campus of the University
of North Carolina at Asheville. The student clock hours of UNC at Asheville reflect these WCU
courses. Full-time equivalent enrollments of the WCU-sponsored courses at UNC at Asheville are,
however, credited to WCU rather than to UNC at Asheville. Several Community Colleges have
similar inter-campus course arrangements and FTE/student clock hour figures are derived in the
same manner.
As further clarification of institution groupings, graph references to "UNC Campuses" refer
to the sixteen public Baccalaureate-granting institutions of the University of North Carolina. Table
subtitles and graph legends for “Community Colleges” refer to the 58 Community Colleges of the
North Carolina Community College system.
The data elements collected, formats maintained, and statistics generated by the North
Carolina Commission on Higher Education Facilities adhere very strongly to nationally developed
standards and procedures for facilities inventory and utilization reporting. In the interests of state
and national comparability and standardization, changes such as addition/omission of data items and
format/master file rearrangement are not made by this central office to suit the special interests or
needs of a particular campus. Many North Carolina institutions accommodate these local
information needs by including additional data on campus-maintained files, in formats suitable to
campus researchers and planners, as a supplement to Facilities Commission (national standard) data.
This office does, however, provide the special request, data processing services mentioned above to
all North Carolina institutions for all data maintained on commission files. In addition, these
services are provided to institutions which maintain supplemental or special campus information
items when these data are provided with the request.
For the first time, classifications in this publication reflect Winston-Salem State’s current
status as of the Fall 2006 data collection, as a Master’s (Comprehensive) University I.

TABLE 1:
CAPACITY / ENROLLMENT RATIO
The capacity/enrollment ratio, often referred to as the C/E ratio, is the amount of
instructional and library space on campus divided by the total fall term student clock hours of
that institution. The C/E ratio relates the amount of space directly used in an institution's
instructional programs to the instructional activity of the campus. It is one of the most
commonly used indices of instructional utilization of institutional facilities.
In analyzing and comparing the capacity/enrollment ratios, it should be kept in mind that
a relatively low ratio generally indicates a high level of space utilization. It should also be noted,
however, that such factors as the level of an institution and the kind of instructional programs
that it offers will affect the amount of space required and, therefore, the C/E ratio. The
capacity/enrollment ratio for all institutions of higher education in North Carolina has been
between four and five for many years, but the graph on page 11 confirms that this ratio varies
widely by type of institution.
Instructional and Library Space
Instructional and library space is defined in terms of program codes (pages 67-68, 73-75,
80-81, 84-85, 88-89) and room use codes (pp. 93-94). It is the sum of the areas of all rooms
which carry both a program designation of 11-18 (Instruction), 41 (Library Services), or 01
(Unassigned, Capable of Use), and one of the room use codes listed below, with the exception
that office space is omitted from program 01:

Student Clock Hours
Student clock hours is a measurement of the total weekly hours of scheduled instruction
for all of an institution's students. It is computed for each course by multiplying the number of
times the course meets each week by the number of hours of each course meeting (rounded to the
half hour), and multiplying that product by the number of students. Thus, if a course with 20
students meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., the number of student
clock hours resulting from that class would be 60 (2 meetings/week x 1.5 hours/meeting x 20
students).
The student clock hours reported in this study are based upon on-campus courses, both
credit and non-credit, which were in progress during the week following the drop-add period of
the fall term and which lasted for at least eight weeks. More detailed student clock hour data are
provided in Table 8.

TABLE 2:
SQUARE FEET OF ACADEMIC FACILITIES
PER FTE STUDENT
The ratio of an institution's square footage of academic facilities to its full-time
equivalent enrollment represents an important index of the instructional utilization of campus
facilities. It was first used by the U. S. Office of Education as a planning standard in the 1960s.
In 1969, the Office of Education published an extensive study entitled Federal Support for
Higher Education Construction: Current Programs and Future Needs which provided normative
figures by level and control of institution. The figures, which are still widely used in
determining facilities needs, can be summarized as follows:
Institutional Level Public Private Total
University
132 150 136
Four-year
93 103 98
Two-year 70 75 70
All Institutions 103 115 107
There is currently much national interest in updating these norms through a new national survey
of higher education facilities.
Academic Facilities
"Academic facilities" is a broader concept than "instructional and library space" (page 9).
In general terms, it includes all space used for instruction, research, and the administration or
support of instruction or research.
Academic facilities can be more precisely defined in terms of program codes (pages
67-68, 73-75, 80-81, 84-85, 88-89) and room use codes (pp. 93-94). The term refers to an
institution's total assignable area (page 63) less the square footage of all rooms bearing program
codes 42 (Museums and Galleries), 52 (Social and Cultural Development), 55 (Student Auxiliary
Services), 56 (Intercollegiate Athletics), 65 (Faculty and Staff Auxiliary Services), 66 (Public
Relations/Development), 91-92 (Independent Operations), and 02 (Incapable of Use). In
addition, space with program code 63 (General Administration and Logistical Service) is deleted
if it also has room use code 750 (Central Service), 755 (Central Service Support), 760
(Hazardous Materials), or 765 (Hazardous Materials Service). Space with program 01
(Unassigned, Capable of Use) and any of the following room use codes is also excluded from
academic facilities: 523 (Athletic Facilities Spectator Seating), 630 (Food Facility), 635 (Food
Facility Service), 660 (Merchandising), 665 (Merchandising Service), 750 (Central Service), 755
(Central Service Support), 760 (Hazardous Materials), 765 (Hazardous Materials Service), all of
the 800s (Health Care Facilities), and all of the 900s (Residential Facilities).
FTE Enrollment
Full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment is computed by assigning a percentage to each
part-time student to reflect his/her course load and then adding the result to the total full-time
enrollment. FTE enrollment differs from the other frequently used standard for estimating
student populations, headcount enrollment, in that the latter treats full-time and part-time
students identically. A more detailed description of the procedure used in calculating FTE
enrollment can be found on page 54.
In this table, the FTE enrollments which are reported for the institutions of the
Community College System include only credit enrollment generated in all inventoried space.
Noncredit enrollment is not reflected in this table. Total FTE enrollments for these
institutions--which take into account all credit instruction regardless of where it is conducted--are not listed in
Table 2 because they are irrelevant to space utilization analysis. They are reported, however, in
the parenthesized figures of Table 12. Methods of FTE calculation for the constituent
institutions of both the University of North Carolina and Community College System are again
outlined on page 54.

TABLE 3:
AVERAGE WEEKLY ROOM HOURS OF INSTRUCTION
IN CLASSROOMS
The average weekly room hours of instruction in classrooms is calculated by dividing the
total room hours of instruction in classrooms by the total number of classrooms. In more general
terms, it is the average number of hours that an institution's classrooms are used for instructional
purposes each week. Weekly room hours of instruction is also referred to as the Room
Utilization Rate (RUR).
The total room hours of instruction in classrooms is the number of hours each week that
each classroom is used for regularly scheduled classes. Thus, a classroom which is used
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. and on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. until noon would generate 19 room hours (4 hours/day x 3 days/week
+ 3.5 hours/day x 2 days/week). Table 3 indicates the total room hours of instruction in
classrooms; the total number of classrooms can be found in Table 16.
For purposes of this study, a classroom is defined as a room used to conduct classes that
do not require special-purpose equipment for student use. Thus, a classroom is by definition a
general use facility which could be used for teaching the lecture portion of any course. If a
room is used for regularly scheduled classes but has special equipment which ties it to a
particular subject matter, then the room is a class laboratory and its use would not be taken into
account in this table.
Table 3 separates average weekly room hours of instruction in classrooms into daytime
and nighttime utilizations. Daytime utilization is based on all classes with beginning times
between and including 5:00 a.m. and 4:59 p.m.; nighttime utilization is based on all other classes.
The "All Hours" section of Table 3 indicates the sum of the daytime and nighttime figures for the
last five years.
The average weekly room hours of classroom instruction can serve as an indicator of the
adequacy of the number of classrooms at an institution. The University of North Carolina
standard is 35 hours of instruction in classrooms per week, but the institutions in North Carolina
and in many other states average significantly fewer hours.
