Space Management And Repair And Renovation

The committee shall advise University leadership on the use of the University’s repair and renovation (R&R) funding to support the maintenance, repair, and improvements to facilities and grounds across the University. Toward that end, the committee shall review the University’s annual R&R funding levels and make recommendations to the University Budget Advisory Committee regarding future funding. In developing its recommendations, the committee shall review prior year R&R funding by major category and make recommendations to the University Budget Advisory Committee regarding future funding allocations by category. Additionally, the committee shall serve as a broker for units wishing to give up or acquire space and shall advise University leadership on the development of policies and procedures for the management and brokerage of space. To this end, the committee shall ensure that the University’s space data is accurate and reliable and shall consistently monitor updates to the University’s space database to support accurate and equitable space-based cost allocations, recommending, as necessary, the conduct of space audits. Additionally, the committee may review the space allocations and exemptions utilized in the Strategic Budget model for colleges/schools and other units to ensure they are consistent and equitable.
