Notes

The NIA of space which is not offices and which is not included elsewhere and is used to support the operations of the HEI as a whole.

Includes:

  • non-office central support/administration space,
  • social space (not Student Unions as these are counted in Non-residential NIA other),
  • sports facilities (where not used predominantly for teaching),
  • catering space,
  • support space.

Learning space should be included in this category and is defined as centrally-available and controlled NIA used as learning resource centres, libraries or open access computer space available for general student use. Similar space used for departments should be allocated to teaching or research as appropriate.

As with teaching and research space, the office element of 'central support' space should be identified separately (Support offices NIA), with the residual other space coded under (Support not offices NIA).
