This annual report presents data on facilities inventory and utilization in North Carolina institutions of higher education in fall 1998. It is intended to provide higher education administrators with a detailed statistical profile of the facilities on their own campuses and to allow for comparative assessment and facilities planning. The study includes data for 112 institutions, including all 16 public senior institutions which comprise the University of North Carolina, 38 private nonprofit colleges and universities, and the 58 public two-year community colleges, but does not include proprietary institutions. The report is divided into four sections. Section 1, 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. Section 2, on interior space characteristics, statistically describes campus space by its uses and the programs to which it is assigned, such as the sizes and capacities of classrooms and class laboratories. Section 3 is on building characteristics and 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. (DB)
