Abstract	In March 2018, the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Board of Higher Education adopted Board Policy R751, "Institutional Facilities Space Utilization" to provide systemwide standards for the utilization of classrooms and teaching laboratories, as well as an annual reporting requirement. The policy encourages the optimization of institutional space and more efficient allocation of institutional resources in the assignment and utilization of available space. As required by the policy, USHE institutions submitted utilization information for the 2019-20 academic year according to prescribed procedures developed by the Office of the Commissioner. Institutions also submitted institutional reports describing utilization goals and accomplishments for 2019-20. This report captures these submissions and organizes the information into two sections: (1) System overview; and (2) Individual institutional information. The systemwide overview provides institutional main campus utilization for both classrooms and teaching laboratories. The overview includes a summary of institutional challenges relating to utilization, institutional progress in centralizing scheduling and creating policy, and actions taken to improve summer utilization. Individual institution utilization information comprises the majority of this report and includes four major subsections: (1) the first subsection charts total institution, main campus, and branch campus utilization in classrooms and teaching labs compared to USHE standards. The charts include a comparison with last year's (2018-19) utilization reporting, where available, to show year-over-year trends; (2) the second subsection lists classroom utilization by building and campus as well as by term (spring, fall, summer), including the number of rooms and seats available for scheduling in a building; (3) the third subsection shows a similar table for teaching laboratories; and (4) the final section records institutional answers to the questions asked by the Office of the Commissioner for the 2019-20 utilization report. This report is intended to be a starting point for continued dialogue and information gathering related to USHE space utilization. Space utilization reported herein refers to credit-bearing courses taught in classrooms and laboratories--the quantifiable portion of the total actual utilization occurring on USHE institution campuses.
