Post Occupancy Evaluation of Study Facilities, Faculty of Engineering, State University of Gorontalo

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify and evaluate study room facilities at the Faculty of Engineering, State University of Gorontalo. The classrooms considered include the capacity of 19 classrooms (specifically C2 and C3 buildings), the condition of walls, finishing, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, furniture, lighting, and ventilation. The method used in this study is a quantitative experimental method with a research approach using field experiments, which is based on the results of observations, documentation, and measurements in the field. The evaluation was carried out after occupancy for two years. Based on the identification and assessment, it was found that the size of the classrooms met the standards according to the capacity of the study room. The walls and ceiling found a little damage that must be repaired immediately. The condition of the floors, doors, and windows is quite good. Dimensions of tables, chairs, and whiteboards are standard. Several chairs (bolts lose) on the writing table are damaged, so repairs are needed. Natural lighting meets the standard of>250 lux in eight classrooms, while other classrooms do not meet the standard (<250 lux), so artificial light needs to be added.
