  population are usually not equal

12
Capacity vs. Utilization

• Capacity The number of students a school is
  designed to hold
• Utilization How the classrooms on a campus are
  being used

13
Measuring Capacity

• Permanent capacity of an elementary school
  (Number of Permanent Classrooms) X (22 Students)
• This number is compared to a capacity calculated
  for the core facilities of the campus. The lower
  of the two numbers is used as the permanent
  capacity of the campus.
• Core capacity of an elementary school
  (Total Core Square Footage) X (880)/10,000)
• The core facility of an 880-student elementary
  school should have an area 10,000 square feet.

14
Commonly Use Terms

  building
