Space Request Procedures

Requests for space will proceed through the following steps:

Step 1

The department, unit or individual must submit a Space Request Ticket and the Needs Assessment Worksheet in collaboration with the appropriate authority designated for their faculty or department.

Step 2

After the Space Request Form has been completed the Space Request Approvals/Form must be signed by the appropriate Dean or area Director in the case of a non-academic unit prior to submitting the request.

The completed and signed forms are to be forwarded to the Space Planning email address: spaceplanning@uwindsor.ca

The forms will then be forwarded to the Space Planning Committee.

Step 3

The Space Planning Committee will evaluate, discuss, and prioritize the requests for space and make a recommendation.

The following criteria will be used in determining a space request:

  1. Departmental and University objectives.
  2. Code and facilities considerations.
  3. Cost and benefit considerations.
  4. Appropriateness of space to the function to be served.

  6. Audit and analysis of space requests based on current space utilization standards and guidelines.
  7. Priorities for research, academic programs, and support areas established by the President, Provost or Vice-Presidents.
  8. Minimal disruption of ongoing activities of faculty, students and staff.
  9. Time frame requested.
