Space Allocation Requests
Space Management oversees more than six million square feet of space. Space allocation is the practice of assigning space to university departments on the basis of either functional need or priority. Our goal is to optimize the use of allocated space for the numerous requests for spaces to meet instructional, research and administrative needs.
We’re here to guide you through making requests to change the use of a room*, acquiring additional spaces, remodeling space, getting an update on an existing request, gaining home access to our Space Data and requesting ad-hoc space data reports. To ensure an effective distribution of space, requests must be submitted via the Space Allocation Request form, and must have approval of university administrators.
*Because this information is used to generate standardized reports to the state, it is important to not make changes to your space without going through the proper channels.
