Space Guidelines and Resources
Space Guidelines
In correlation with the University's efforts to reimagine the future of work, an updated Programming Matrix for space guidelines is available and provides guidance about campus spaces, including office space and collaboration space. As buildings and spaces are considered for construction or renovation, the matrix serves as starting point for discussion.
To assist in understanding the space guidelines, a comparison of the guidelines from 2019 to the newly implemented guidelines for 2022 is now available. This chart provides a side-by-side view of the old and new guidelines to identify where changes have been made.
