Fall 2009 data is presented below.
Occupancy Rate
A good metric of cluster use is the occupancy rate for any given cluster. Unfortunately, the average daily occupancy rate for any given cluster is skewed by the fact that the occupancy for most clusters is nearly 0 between the hours of midnight and 9:00am. If the occupancy rate is presented as a range between average daily high occupancy and average daily low occupancy, we get a much better representation of cluster usage.

As you can see, many of the clusters exceed 80% occupancy during the day. Some clusters, however, are underutilized and perhaps some workstations in those clusters could be replaced with small group workspaces.
Instances of Full Capacity
Another good metric of cluster use is the number of days in which a cluster has at least one occurrence (5 minutes) of full capacity (that is, all the workstations are occupied). This tell us the relative popularity of a cluster.
