SPACE II Presentation to Facilities Information System Users Fall 2005 Facilities Resource Planning: Deborah Blythe, David Breon, Susan Hunter Cost Analysis/Property Inventory: Bill Gush, Beverly Lipski
Original space survey Fall ’03 – Spring ’04 Identified room Occupants Activities Assigned Facilities and Administrative (F&A) percentages to rooms
Outcomes of original survey Facilities Resources & Planning populated campus-wide database Cost Analysis prepared F&A proposal using space data We have current and reliable space information
Where are we now? New buildings added since survey (Chemistry, Life Sciences, Business) Various relocations, moves, space re-assignments New FIS users all over campus Changes in personnel and activities
So, why are you here? November 2005 baseline for next F&A proposal Need accurate complete space data in Facilities Information System
Why is this important to us? Accurate space data = accurate F&A allocation F&A $ = overhead recovery Overhead recovery = $ allocation to college budget
F&A costs based on space Research allocation (FY ’02-’03) Operations & Maintenance $18,488,470 Building depreciation $ 4,688,944 Equipment depreciation $ 3,631,597 Total $26,809,011
What are your responsibilities? Update Facilities Information System to provide accurate complete space data
Special concerns New hires Employee transfers Employee retirements Employee terminations Changes in faculty activities profiles especially for faculty who were new at time of original survey with no sponsored programs Now likely have one or more sponsored programs Space would change from departmental research to sponsored research or instruction

Organized Research Programs sponsored by external sources Federal Non-federal Activity funded internally if project is separately budgeted and accounted for by University under internal application of institutional funds
Sponsored Instruction Funded by Grant Contract Cooperative agreement Includes activities involving training in research techniques (research training)
Instruction Teaching and training activities of the institution except for Sponsored Instruction Teaching/training activity may be offered On credit or non-credit basis On degree or non-degree basis Through regular academic departments or separate divisions such as extension or outreach
