Managing Space For Your Unit
UB adheres to principles in planning for new space and the management of all space for the University at Buffalo — whether located on campus or off-campus. These principles apply to all university units — academic, administrative, housing and student services.
Requesting Space
Additional space needs should be addressed first within a department’s current allocation, then within the school or unit. Existing space must be utilized as effectively as possible in order to support desired growth.
Only Facilities Planning and Management Officers (FPMOs) are authorized to request space.
Proposing Space Renovation
Renovation requests are large projects that require a building permit (such as a change of occupancy use, removing walls and doors, adding plumbing, HVAC modifications).
Only Facilities Planning and Management Officers (FPMOs) are authorized to request space renovations.
