The Board shall annually prepare the following reports:
(1) Space Projection Model. The Board, in consultation
with the institutions, shall develop space planning models to estimate
the NASF of E&G space needed at institutions of higher education.
(A) Periodic Review. Each biennium, the Commissioner
may convene an advisory committee of institutional representatives
to review the model and recommend changes.
(B) Use. The Board shall use the models developed under
this section to determine the need for space on campuses, as a component
of funding formulas for public institutions other than community colleges,
and as standards for facilities development projects.
(2) Space Usage Efficiency (SUE). The Board shall collect
data and publish reports designed to inform the public and other state
agencies of the intensity of use of E&G facilities at institutions
of higher education. Classroom and class lab utilization data are
not calculated for health-related institutions.
(A) Periodic Review. The Board shall annually calculate
the utilization of classrooms and class laboratories for the institutions.
(B) Use. The Board shall use the models developed under
this section to determine the utilization of classrooms and class
laboratories for the institutions.
(3) Construction Costs. The Board shall annually calculate
and report the mean and one standard deviation above the mean for
construction building costs per square foot. The costs shall be based
on similar projects reported to the Board, within the immediate prior
seven years, annually adjusted for inflation for the region of the
state where the project is located. As a minimum, the calculations
shall be developed for both new construction/addition and repair and
renovation for all facility types available and shall be published
on the agency website.
