Capital Planning Initiatives
Space and Classroom Utilization Study • Last study, completed as part of the Facilities Master Plan
process, used 2008 data
• New strategic plan; changes in enrollment, leadership, and organization; and many new/renovated facilities warranted a review of space and classroom needs
• Fall 2018 data used to:• Study utilization of instructional space• Analyze campus-wide office space, academic and non-academic• Analyze academic programs and enrollment trends• Identify programs that need further analysis of space• Analyze available surge space and capacity to help plan for future
building renovation projects
• Completed in summer 2019
Space and Classroom Utilization Study Major findings:
• Campus has a deficit of student space for: – recreation– gathering/lounge space– meeting/multipurpose space– dining
• Buffalo State needs at least one multi-purpose field to support men’s and women’s NCAA team sports
• Club sports, general student recreation activities have limited access to outdoor space
• Campus has a surplus of classrooms
• While there is surplus office space on campus, it is not properly sized or located for easy re-use
Housing Demand Study • Changes in campus and residence hall enrollment and off-campus housing
warranted a review of housing demand

• Objective is to inform strategic growth, capital improvements and occupancy management
• Short-term and long-term focus on meeting the needs of our students and maintaining financial viability

Housing Demand Study Major findings:
• Fall 2018: Buffalo State did not have sufficient demand to fill its campus housing inventory
• Housing system is appropriately sized for the maximum potential demand from students under current housing policies
