Space Administration works closely with the campus community to provide resources and analysis to support space assignments. A space analysis may include fit studies, occupancy and utilization reviews, and highest and best use options for spaces across a college or department. Space Administration will also ensure colleges and departments comply with university space guidelines through the audit and assessing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did You Know?<\/h3>\n\n

The Space Administration team introduced an easy-to-use tool in Spring 2025 to mass upload space changes into the FM:S space inventory database. To find out more and use this functionality, please contact OccupancyPlanning@purdue.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Space Audit Process, Timeline and Training Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to streamline and speed up campus building space audits, Space Administration implemented changes to the data collection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of July 1, 2024, building walkthroughs are no longer needed for the audit review process. Building deputies and facility mangers will be sent a spreadsheet to provide space data on their own. This data includes room names, occupants and space types. The data will then automatically be entered into FM:S, the university\u2019s space management software. If additional information is needed, then Space Administration will reach out to schedule a building walkthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building deputies and facility managers are expected to fill out and submit the spreadsheet within two weeks of receiving the spreadsheet. The audit will most likely need to be conducted once a year or once every other year as audits will be staggered.<\/p>\n\n\n
