The Space Planning and Allocation Committee advises the Executive Committee on Space and makes recommendations on the best use of campus facilities to meet the university's strategic priorities. The committee also makes space related policy recommendations through the Cabinet.
Purpose
All university spaces—buildings, land and leased facilities—belong to the University as a whole and are subject to reassignment to meet the institution’s strategic priorities. We focus on aiding equity, adequacy and productivity. Space is an asset owned by the University at large, and it is allocated under the authority of the Chancellor.
The Committee meets monthly or as needed. We serve in an advisory capacity to the University in assessing and guiding the execution of all facets of campus space and is responsible for addressing changing and unmet needs by:
- Developing policy and operational procedures for space use, allocation and utilization;
- Reviewing all requests for space - new, augmented, and/or change of use; and
- Generating related space allocation recommendations to the Executive Committee and Chancellor for final endorsement.
