Guiding Principles

  • 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.
