When benchmarked against a large pool of similar universities with enrollment between 22,000 and 30,000, the Kent Campus provides less than average academic and support space per student than others.
KSU has established an ambitious goal – it seeks to double its research awards from $25 million in 2016 to $50 million in 2026. KSU research activity is substantially lower than the KSU peer and KSU aspirational institutions, so research growth is needed to close this gap.
Despite the higher utilization goals for classrooms and teaching labs, academic space guidelines suggest that the Kent Campus will need additional academic spaces (classrooms, teaching labs, open labs).
Space guidelines also suggest that the Kent Campus needs additional assembly spaces, and that the need will grow as the student body grows. Requests for additional assembly space from Student Life, the performing arts, and the School Fashion suggest the space guidelines are correct.
