Abstract: There is a perception that teaching space in universities is a rather scarce resource. However, some studies have revealed that in many institutions it is actually chronically under-used. Often, rooms are occupied only half the time, and even when in use they are often only half full. This is usually measured by the "utilisation" which is basically the percentage of available 'seat-hours' that are employed. In real institutions, this utilisation can often takes values as low as 20-40%. (Update)
