The Norman Campus Space Committee was established to help address space needs and constraints as the University continues to meet our core mission objectives. While all space and property belongs to the University as a whole, stewardship of the space is distributed among the vice presidents and deans, who oversee the space occupied by activities under their control and ensure that use of that space is consistent with its assigned purpose.
The Space Committee is working with each college and department to find the best solutions for all our space needs. Please contact the Space Committee member identified in your organizational chart to guide you in your space needs.

Provide requesting department contact name, phone number, and email address along with a brief description of your request.
Provide sufficient detail to describe the project being requested. Description should include impact on students, university mission, existing space, external impact on community, etc. Facilities Management may assist with construction related scope though no detailed design is expected at this phase. Identify funding sources from your department for this project (Fund, Dept., Program, & Account) and if additional funding is being requested from the Space Management funds.
With the proper endorsements and signatures in place, the Space Management Committee will consider the request at the next weekly meeting. Endorsements are as follows; the department or office making the request will prepare all the information for their Dean or Department Head to consider, endorse, and sign. The Dean or Department Head forwards this on to their respective Vice President for their endorsement and signature.
Once the project is authorized to proceed you will be notified by Campus Space Management. Design will commence with a more detailed scope of the project and refined Total Project Cost Estimate Budget. With the funding identified and design completed the project will be scheduled for bidding.
Questions about the scope and map of the affected area may be addressed with the Campus Space Manager.
