C. Utilization of Existing Facilities

Use of the Maryland Higher Education Commission's (MHEC) definitions for building types provides a useful means of categorizing the inventory, shown in Table 8. Approximately 45 percent of the space at the university is concentrated in 91 academic buildings. Two main libraries, five administrative buildings, 122 auxiliary enterprise facilities, and 239 non-academic buildings comprise the remainder of the space inventory.
