[Art] helps me understand the times I’m living in. It helps me see other perspectives. It makes me feel less alone. It makes me feel more human.
It connects me more to the rest of humanity.

Occupancy

What does this mean?

The proportion of units of accommodation (i.e. seats or spaces) within a venue that are available for use, that has actually been used. Most frequently calculated as percentage occupancy.

Hence the calculation here for percentage occupancy is:

(Number of people occupying a facility on both a paid and unpaid basis) ÷ Number of units of accommodation available for use) × 100
