This dataset is a register of the room categories that exist in Victorian
State schools and includes a statewide count of each category. Room categories
are diverse, and range from General Purpose Classrooms (GPCs), sheds or
storage rooms, verandahs, electrical substations, and TV studios. Data is
relevant to rooms that exist school sites (i.e. school grounds) owned by
DEECD; counts exclude rooms on DEECD-owned non-school sites.
It is important to note that rooms are classified according to their actual
use by schools, which is may not necessarily reflect intended design. This
distinction is useful as it also more accurately reflects the frequency at
which rooms serve specific functions.
Data is current as per Departmental records on 29 May 2013.
