Overview:
With growing demands on campus space, the standard physical properties inventory is no longer sufficient to meet space management needs. Join us to explore how a robust space database can assist academic leaders and business officers in maximizing the use of academic space.
We'll cover:
- How to establish and maintain a space database
- A demonstration of one available option: an open source, web-based space management approach
- Examples of database options
- Sample reports from multiple institutions to meet different academic information needs
- Lessons learned from implementation
Who Should Attend:
This web conference will assist academic leaders, business officers, facilities directors, space planners, institutional researchers, and others with a vested interest in allocating campus space more strategically and improving space utilization.
This web conference will use examples relating both to research space and general classroom space.
