University Office Space Survey Strategies: Reduce the number of multiple offices 48 people are occupying more than one office Multiple offices account for over 18,200 assignable square feet Make up to 24 “new” offices available
University Office Space Survey Strategies: Evaluate offices assigned to Emeritus Faculty On a space available basis, emeritus faculty may occupy shared office space when they are actively engaged in ongoing teaching, research, publication, or service to the University. Assignment of a private office to an emeritus professor must be approved by the Provost as an exception to policy and should be based on a level of activity comparable to that of a full-time faculty member.
University Office Space Survey Strategies: Incentivize departments/units to adopt efficient space utilization principles based on the Administrative Space Guidelines 8.33% (47,147 ASF) of office space surveyed is vacant Notre Dame provides funding incentives to cover renovation costs for departments that adopt efficient space utilization principles such as open office environments and more efficient ASF/Person space factors.
