Space Management
Principals for Space allocations
- Space is a limited resource and is not owned by divisions, departments, or current occupants.
- The space allocation/reallocation process should be consistent and transparent, and should provide opportunities for affected parties to participate; however, the ultimate responsibility for allocating space resides with the President.
- Space allocation should align with the University’s strategic priorities.
- Every attempt should be made to house departments/ units in the best location possible and to minimize the number of moves required.
- Space for divisions/departments/units should be in a single site, whenever preferred and possible.
- Adjacency of departments/units that provide similar or related services is ideal.
- Space allocations/reallocations should support fiscal responsibility by minimizing short- and long-term cost whenever possible.
