The
facilities and construction staff in the Dean's Office is available to assist
units in matters pertaining to University space and facilities, such as space
analysis, design, and reconfiguration; project cost estimates; and project
coordination. Other responsibilities include coordination of major College
projects (programming, design, and construction), preparation of the College
capital and minor repairs budget, maintenance of the College space data base, approval
of requests for Facility Management services, and liaison for College units and
other University offices such as Environmental Health and Safety and Physical
Plant.

Policy Announcement
Hiring New Faculty:
Providing Space
Departments
are generally responsible for providing space for new hires, since almost all
space in the College is assigned to departments. Procedural guidelines for two
common cases are described below:
- Competitively
recruited faculty. The “Approve
Search Request” form requires identification of the office to be used
by the newly-hired faculty, as well as any other space and any renovation
issues. While primary responsibility rests with the department, Divisional
Deans are sometimes able to provide assistance when significant resources
are required.
- Temporary or
short-term faculty. For faculty hires made outside the search
process, for example, short-term lecturers, departments are responsible
for providing space.
Departments
that make formal or informal hiring commitments and request space assistance
from the Dean’s Office after the fact are extremely unlikely to be
accommodated.
