Your laboratories look
like a surplus.

That's because nobody is in them — and the formula that funds California's campuses sizes need from the hours you actually schedule.

The gap
The gap

Four authorities. One set of square feet.
Four systems that never meet.

Space

The state converts your inventory into capacity and your contact hours into load. The ratio gates capital outlay.
Title 5 §57020

Condition

Renewal cost over replacement value — the FCI behind every deferred-maintenance ask.
APPA · FUSION

Safety

Every property must sit in one of four Clery geography categories, published by 1 October.
34 CFR 668.46

Use

Hours per week each room is scheduled, out of a 70-hour week, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
§57021 · §57022

The incumbents each own one column and own it well — ArcGIS Indoors draws the room, AssetWorks reports managing over a billion square feet, FUSION holds 90 million square feet of California community-college facilities and is where the five-year plan is filed. None puts the columns side by side against their published lines, on a map, with the arithmetic visible.

The rulebook
The rulebook

The decision rule is published,
short, and checkable.

Most markets hide the scoring engine, because the engine is the product. California prints it.

Twenty assignable square feet per station. Fifty-three hours of a seventy-hour week. Sixty-six per cent of the seats filled. That is the whole entitlement.

We can show the arithmetic because there is nothing proprietary inside it. It is a regulation. Opening it is the feature.

The insight
The insight

Under-use a room and you have told the state you don't need another one.

Load is computed from scheduled hours, not from enrolment or ambition. So a category nobody books generates almost no load — and computes as a surplus.

Same campus, same afternoon. The category being used properly reads as short. The category being wasted reads as spare.

Classrooms at 52.0 hrs/wk and 70.3 % full — both past their lines — produce a deficit. Laboratories at 21.5 hrs and 77.3 % — both short — produce an apparent surplus.

This is a property of the formula, not of our demo. The test suite pins it so a future change cannot quietly break the lesson.

The second protagonist
A ratio without a vintage is not a number

The Board of Governors raised Lecture standards 33 % in 2020.
Same campus. Different book.

86.7%
2020 rulebook — a deficit, which is what makes a project eligible for state capital outlay
115.3%
2010 rulebook — a surplus. The state does not fund surplus

Nothing about the campus changed. A document date did. So the standard in force and its vintage sit in the header, on every screen, and on every exported exhibit.

2010 figures are derived from the stated uplifts, not transcribed — and the app says so.

The data
The data

The land is public and complete.
The buildings are not. The rooms don't exist anywhere.

411CAMPUS PROPERTIES across 200 institutions — 86 universities, 114 community colleges
0.00%MISSING GEOMETRY — every one of the 411 is drawn. Measured, not assumed
1OF 200 INSTITUTIONS publishes a building-footprint service. Not one in ten — one

What the spine gives you

  • Campus land, acreage and property type for every institution in California
  • Both federal keys — IPEDS and OPE ID, the identifier Clery is filed under
  • A C_TYPE that already splits main campus / off-campus / student housing — very nearly the Clery seam

What it does not

  • Rooms, assignable square feet, stations, TOP codes, scheduled hours — published by nobody
  • That is not a scraping problem. It is the two CSV exports every institution already has and no public body collects
  • For the 199 without footprints, OpenStreetMap on demand — attributed ODbL, labelled context only

Why "just use open data" isn't the whole job
Four ways this data will quietly lie to you

Each of these cost us a fix. All four are regression-tested.

A footprint is not a floor plan

Shape__Area is an outline in State Plane feet. A three-storey building is understated threefold, and assignable area excludes corridors, stairs and restrooms anyway. There is no code path from geometry to ASF — the suite asserts its absence.

Two published "school" layers are geocoder spoil

Their columns are Loc_name · Match_addr · Score · Rank. Somebody published a locate result and it sits in the state catalogue looking authoritative. Bind the Department of Education's register, keyed on CDS code.

A building id is neither unique nor always present

On the one campus with published footprints: six features carry no id and seven ids repeat. Treat it as a primary key and you silently drop or double-count buildings.

Clery has no API

The federal campus-safety collection is a session-driven download — 404 on every feed path we probed. An app rendering live campus crime is fiction. Import a CSV once a year and say so.

Two more worth knowing: the state's 100-year floodplain service publishes one layer and its id is 4, not 0 — and the campus database spells its open-space class two different ways, so an = filter silently misses half of them.

The product
The Standards Rack

Eleven published lines, and this campus's distance to each.

The rack is the navigation

One rung per threshold, all drawn the same way: value, bar, a fixed line marker, a signed distance. Click one and the map repaints, the ledger narrows, the movers re-rank.

The derivation is the signature

The statute's own arithmetic with your numbers substituted, line by line, so the result can be checked rather than trusted.

The what-if is honest

Pin a building and the ratio recomputes as if you lost it: capacity goes, load stays — losing a building does not lose the students.

An inventory belongs to one campus

Change campus and the rooms, schedule, condition data and term clear. Before that fix the rack reported one campus's 24,400 ASF under another campus's name — not blank, wrong and confident about it. Every other campus generates a demo over its own buildings.

Page 2 — the property book

The four Clery categories, seeded from the campus database and confirmed one property at a time. Every row reads suggested until a human signs it, because a land-ownership class is not a Clery determination. Exports as the ASR geography appendix.

Built to be operated

Every abbreviation carries a definition and its section — 42 of them. Six panes resize. Dark by default for the console; light for the board packet, which is what every exhibit prints as. Keyless basemaps, EPSG:4326, 233 live-data assertions.

Coexistence, not replacement
What it is, and what it deliberately is not

It reads their exports and answers the question none of them is shaped to answer.

Not a system of record

FUSION, AiM and Archibus keep that job.

Not occupancy

The utilisation rungs read scheduled hours. Scheduled is not occupied — which is why the industry's own peak-utilisation figure sits near 40 %.

Not a submission tool

It produces the exhibit and the CSV. The district still files through FUSION.
