James Edwards

11:30 AM Workshop B: Identifying Analysis Techniques to Improve Space Utilisation
Universities and institutions must
understand how existing
facilities are performing, what
drives good utilisation and where to
prioritise investment. This workshop
looks at these methodologies
through two case studies. At the
University of Adelaide a laboratory
masterplan was produced based
on a thorough audit of all existing
laboratory facilities. The second case
details the University of Western
Australia’s audit of Utilisation,
Functionality and Condition of over
5,000 spaces on the main Crawley
campus and QEII Medical Centre
campus.
This Workshop will Benefit those Who:
- Want to understand where space is most under-utilised and how to put these assets to better use
- Want to measure their own facility performance and set new long-term plans to improve it
- Need to know how to prioritise assets for improving utilisation and common issues relating to updating them
What the
workshop will cover:
- Collecting data on space utilisation to reveal the amount of unused space and factors associated with use
- Defining what information to collect about an asset, compiling a database and maintaining this data
- Retrofitting existing buildings to improve flexibility and increase the likelihood that the space is attractive to students and able to meet their current needs
- Sharing space with the community as a way of using vacant space
2:30 PM Identifying Analysis Techniques to Improve Space Utilisation
Hames Sharley methodologies assist universities and
institutions in understanding how existing facilities
are performing, what drives good utilisation and
where to prioritise investment. At the University of
Western Australia a Utilisation, Functionality and
Condition Audit of over 5,000 spaces was conducted
on the main Crawley campus and QEII Medical Centre
campus in three stages. This session will discuss:
- Defining what information to collect and compiling and maintaining this data into a database
- Analysing the data collected and drawing appropriate conclusions
- Explaining the factors that drive good ultilisation and general observations from this case study
