Committee on Space Allocation and Campus Planning
 
The Committee makes decisions concerning space allocation and campus planning issues. These determinations will be guided by and consistent with the 2004 Master Plan, and exclude the allocation of transitional, short-term and classroom space. Since the College is unable to fund all projects/ requests, the committee will carefully consider the trade-offs associated with different allocations of funds and prioritize projects for funding (not to include those funds designated for deferred maintenance or funds provided specifically for the Americans with Disabilities Act or academic conversions). The Committee will meet on the dates posted on its web site, as well as on an as-needed basis.
 
Purpose:

a) To establish and publicize the process for requesting new and/or additional campus space;
b) To inform members of the College of new space becoming available for allocation and of existing space being taken out of use;
c) To determine new allocation of space on a regular basis;
d) To determine the migration of partial or entire departments to existing facilities becoming available as a result of new facilities being brought into the College's inventory (in consultation with the appropriate Deans/ Chairs);
e) To act as an advisory group to departments in solving their space needs;
f) To prioritize all projects to be completed with available funds, including the following areas:
   Deferred and scheduled maintenance (in consultation with Physical Plant)
   Office upgrades (refurbishment and conversions)
   Classroom upgrades (refurbishment and conversions)
   Campus beautification
   Pedestrian flow and signage
   Migration space planning/ temporary placements
   Planning issues associated with new construction projects
g) To inform senior staff of campus priorities based on all known needs, and
h) To serve as the clearinghouse for departmental requests for temporary space.
