* A significant structure is a building that is inhabited daily by personnel, is served by utilities, or of such great size (e.g.: Cowboy Stadium) that it requires significant maintenance and upkeep. Service buildings that are dependencies of another building are counted under that building they serve.

** Currently, net and assignable square footages are not exact figures. Even with the H&HP Education Center now complete, the “as-built” drawings are not yet ready to use. These plans which are drawn at the conclusion of major new construction are used to calculate precisely the interior areas and assign their utilization.  The drawings will be ready in time for the next utilization report in Fall 2019. Until then, these figures are going to vary slightly from real. Also related to the new construction, existing spaces in other buildings that were vacated by the programs that moved over to the new facility are being readapted and reassigned as time goes on. Some of these existing spaces currently remain temporarily vacated. In other buildings where renovation efforts are multi-year endeavors, the same applies. These vacated spaces make the assignable space percentages vary from year to year.
