Evaluating Accommodation Options in Higher Education: The Identification of Alternatives that Best Meet Organizational Objectives

Abstract

Higher education institutions face ongoing accommodation problems. Considers a methodology that could assist decision makers in the identification and preliminary evaluation of various accommodation options. Identifies three key stages: specification of objectives; identification of options; and evaluation of options. For the first stage, highlights the importance of recognizing strategic objectives. In the second stage, identifies alternative ways of achieving objectives, in particular the improved use and/or change in use of space. In the third stage, considers a weighting system, that might help identify options which are most likely best to meet objectives.
