Results of the 1986 North Carolina Higher Education Facilities Inventory and Utilization Study are presented, based on data from 114 colleges. Tabular data and narratives appear under four headings: utilization of instructional space, interior space characteristics, building characteristics, and accessibility of facilities to the mobility impaired. Statistics for private institutions are shown by group (major research universities, general baccalaureate colleges, and junior colleges), while individual state college data are provided. Information is included on: capacity/enrollment ratio, average weekly room hours of instruction in classrooms and class laboratories, and average weekly use of student stations in classrooms and class laboratories. Interior space characteristics and accessibility for the mobility impaired are covered for the following subprograms: instruction, research, and public service; academic support; student services and physical plant operations; and institutional administration and independent operations. Additional information covers: building ownership, the condition of buildings, and estimated cost to renovate or replace buildings. An institutional index is included. (SW)
