Fall 2011 Classroom, Laboratory and Office Utilization Analysis
September 30, 2011
General Assignment Classroom Utilization
There are eighty-eight (88) general assignment classrooms scheduled through the Registrar’s office. The UW
System standard for utilization of general assignment classrooms is 78%. This equates to a classroom being
scheduled for 35 class periods per week based on a 45 class period week. UW-Stout has 45 class periods (9
class periods per day x 5 days per week). The fall 2011 general assignment classroom utilization rate at UWStout is 63.0% (fall 2006 utilization was 61.3%). This utilization analysis is based on only those classrooms
scheduled during the day (8:00 am – 5:35 pm). It does not include evening or weekend classroom use.
Utilization of general assignment classrooms is lowest during the first class period (49%), the last two class
periods (52% and 41%), and Friday’s last four class periods (42%, 18%, 6% and 13%).
The fall 2011 general assignment classroom demand totaled 2,493 class periods. The general assignment
classrooms provide 3,960 available class periods (88 classrooms x 45 class periods per week). Dividing 2,493
by 3,960 results in the 63.0% utilization rate. To meet the UW System standard utilization of 78%, UW-Stout
would need to reduce the total number of available class periods from 3,960 to 3,195.

Classroom Laboratory Utilization
This utilization analysis includes only those classroom laboratories, one hundred and fourteen (114), which are
scheduled by departments and reported to the Registrar’s office. It does not include open laboratories or
research laboratories.
The UW System standard utilization for classroom laboratories is 54%. This equates to a laboratory being
scheduled for 24 class periods per week based on a 45 class period week. UW-Stout has 45 class periods (9
class periods per day x 5 days per week). The fall 2011 general assignment laboratory utilization rate at UWStout is 39.8% (fall 2006 utilization was 35.7%). This utilization analysis is based on only those classroom
laboratories scheduled during the day (8:00 am – 5:35 pm). The utilization rate for classroom laboratories is
lower than the utilization rate for general assignment classrooms as it allows for set-up and take-down time for
laboratory equipment. Use of classroom laboratories is lowest during the first class period (32%) and the last
two class periods (36% and 28%).
The fall 2011 classroom laboratory demand totaled 2,044 class periods. The classroom laboratories provide
5,130 available class periods (114 laboratories x 45 class periods per week). Dividing 2,044 by 5,130 results
in the 39.8% utilization rate. Please note that unlike general assignment classrooms, some classroom
laboratories are dedicated to specific instruction and cannot easily accommodate other instruction. To meet
the UW System standard of 54%, UW-Stout would need to reduce the total number of class periods available
from 5,130 to 3,780.
