Primary Research Group has published Survey of College Practices in Renting Out Facilities for Camps, Conferences & Special Events, ISBN 978-1-57440-217-9.
This 126-page report looks closely at college practices in renting out facilities for camps, conferences and special events, giving detailed data on revenues, costs, budgets, marketing efforts, program management and future prospects. The report imparts a detailed statistical record of the cost structure of the rental effort and range of facilities made available at different times of the year, in the summer, during the school year and over winter break, for example. In addition survey participants evaluate revenue prospects from summer camps, sports camps, rental of theatrical and athletic facilities, corporate and academic meetings, technology facilities rentals and much much more. The report also covers areas such as food service at events, the role of providing and charging for parking facilities, vendor selection for event support, and more.
Just a few of the many findings from this report are:
- Colleges in the sample have a mean of 467 single-occupancy rooms available for non-traditional student renters during the summer
- 38.6 percent of survey participants say the college offers special rates on meal plans to overnight guests
- 29.41 percent of community colleges in the sample use radio ads to advertise the availability of the college for sponsored events, as compared to just 11.11 percent of 4-year colleges
- 80.7 percent of all survey participants say on-campus parking is available to conference and meeting participants year-round
- 57.89 percent of all colleges in the sample maintain on-campus facilities where weddings can be held
- Colleges in the sample spend a mean of $315,821 annually on the events planning program
- A mean number of 2.29 full-time equivalent employees work for the meetings and events coordinators at the private schools in the sample
