Journal Article
Beyrouthy, C., Burke, E. K., Landa-Silva, D., McCollum, B., McMullan, P., & Parkes, A. J. (2009). Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 60(1), 130-143. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2602523

There is a perception that teaching space in universities is a rather scarce resource. However, some studies have revealed that in many institutions it is actually chronically under-used. Often, rooms are occupied only half the time, and even when in... Read More about Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space.
