The Office of Space Planning & Management at the University of Utah is responsible for planning, tracking, assigning, auditing, analyzing, and reporting the use of space by academic and administrative units. We provide leadership and guidance to ensure proper space utilization, space inventory management, and space improvement. We oversee all aspects of space on campus, aligning the resource with strategic goals.

The office shares space data to enhance space utilization and improve decision-making. We collaborate with academic departments, research centers, and administrative units. By sharing data on space needs and usage, we align space allocation with specific program requirements. We compare university space metrics (e.g. classroom utilization, research density) with targeted benchmarks. Sharing these findings fosters continuous improvement, enhances transparency, and drives evidence-based decision-making when managing university space.

The office optimizes space resources to support teaching, research, and administrative functions. We work with senior leadership to allocate and assign space to various departments, offices, and functions within the university. This includes determining which areas are suitable for classrooms, laboratories, offices, and common spaces. We regularly audit and update the space inventory, ensuring accurate records of all available spaces. This aids efficient space utilization and prevents over- or under-allocation. We analyze how space is being used across the campus. This involves assessing occupancy rates, room utilization, and identifying areas where improvements can be made. And we provide regular reports to university leadership, faculty, and staff regarding space utilization and active projects. In aggregate, these actions lead to better use of resources and cost savings.

The office forecasts space requirements necessary to meet future change. By anticipating trends, evolving needs, and other drivers, we make informed projections about space inventory, allocation, and utilization. The application of strategic foresight helps chart a course leading to space outcomes that better support the university's mission.
