Record enrollment means record strain
September 14, 2015
With a record number of students on campus, the facilities at Iowa State are experiencing record amounts of usage.
Between a lack of classroom space and increased usage of areas like bathrooms, Iowa State is doing all they can to rectify the pains that come with a growing university.
Some growth highlights:
- 36,001: the number students this fall – another semester of record enrollment
- 214: the number of classrooms at Iowa State, all of which are being used to the limit even though they only take up 4 percent of campus.
- 30 percent: the percent increase of toilet paper usage on campus this fall.
- 2: the number of times each restroom in many university buildings now has to be cleaned per day
- 19 to 1: the current student to faculty ratio
