Space Utilization & Construction Management Committee

Committee Mandate

The Space Utilization and Construction Management Committee has an obligation to provide suitable space in order to adequately carry out University-approved activities. Space will be allocated based on availability within the current infrastructure and alignment with the long-term goals of the University. The committee will meet no less than once a semester to review the received space proposals and decide on an appropriate response. This decision will be based on whether the current space is deemed to be poorly utilized or inappropriately allocated, and in keeping with facilities and space implications of future University planning targets.

Space Application Process

A completed application by the department chair or manager must be sent to the applicable Vice-President for approval before being received by the Committee. Applications must be submitted two weeks prior to the Committee meeting date for consideration.
