“on a busy day: less than 20% of the desks

is occupied”

source: various utilization studies

territorial culture: no tendency

to share space

decreasing / changing demand

(less students, different research)

cost / m2 > benefits / m2

low occupancy rates underutilization of space

dysfunctional buildings (technical state, comfort / energy use, fitness for use)

energy-inefficient unsustainable

resource-inefficient

negative effect on “density of people” ! (-) community ! (-) proximity ! (-) serendipity ! (-) innovation

real versus planned use (“booked but

empty”)

Campus of the future: - changing the academic workplace ! space use < 20% of workplaces used
