University Space Assignment
Assignment of SpaceAll space is owned by Northwestern University. Space is assigned to schools, departments and individuals. At any time and for any purpose space assignments are subject to review with the possibility that space may be re-assigned, whether this is at the request of a faculty member, Chair, Dean or the Provost. The Provost is the ultimate arbiter regarding how and to which operations and users space is assigned. [ Back to top ] Official Record of Space AssignmentsFacilities Management Planning (FMP) is the resource and "data steward" for the University's space inventory. Changes in assignment or loan of space between schools/departments, or desired lease of space outside properties owned by the University, are to be reported to Paul Weller, Director of Facilities Management Planning. [ Back to top ] Calculation of Square FootageAt Northwestern University, square footage is either net assignable square footage (nasf) or gross square footage (gsf). Be aware that rentable square footage (rsf) outside Northwestern University, i.e., leased space in Evanston and Chicago, conforms to BOMA standards. Before considering the rental of space, please contact Paul Weller, Director of Facilities Management Planning, or Ranee Berliant, Property Manager. [ Back to top ] Designation of Room Numbers, Areas, and UsesFor new construction, renovations and changes within University-owned buildings, Facilities Management Planning assigns room numbers, confirms and records the area of a room, and reviews and enters into SIMS (Space Information and Management System) the type/use of the space. For assignment of room numbers, confirmation of room square footage, and changes in the designated type/use of a room or space, contact Kevin Grzyb, Space Information Manager. [ Back to top ] |
