The process for handling space requests begins when a requester submits a Space Request online. This request then moves through the Sponsorship Process, to be reviewed by several entities from Department Head to EVP/CFO/Provost/President. Once Sponsored, Facilities Portfolio Management (FPM) begins processing. If the request doesn’t involve a change in use, FPM can provide Administrative Approval and update Archibus to reflect revised Department, Room Name, etc.
If a change in use is required, FPM reaches out to gather stakeholder comments to ensure code requirements are met. If construction is needed, FPM works with the requestor to prepare a Scope Drawing which is then submitted to In-House Construction for pricing. Once pricing is approved and funding is provided, construction begins. After construction is complete, FPM can update Archibus to reflect revised Department, Room Name, Room Use, etc.
