Utilization is calculated as actual output divided by design capacity, which is 1,150 students served divided by 1,800 students capacity, giving 63.9%. Efficiency is calculated as actual output divided by effective capacity, which is 1,150 students served divided by 1,200 students (the highest number who can go to their orientation), giving 95.8%.
