1. Charter Mission – Establish office space for Grants Management Team
Burning platform – Lacked office space for 3-person Grants Management Team and was looking at the necessity of building new office space somewhere on campus.
Process Description –To utilize ‘dead’ space being utilized for storage of obsolete materials and convert to usable office space. 
Problem Statement – The need exists to build more square footage of office space for 3-person Grants Management Team.  New space would require new construction costs initially, in addition to annual heating/cooling costs per square foot of new space.  By converting this non-value added obsolete storage area, we eliminated the full cost of new construction and avoided perpetual additional energy cost per square foot on new space.

4,735 ft2 of space was freed up after the 5S project.
