Departmental Accommodation Survey

The Departmental Accommodation Survey portal has two purposes:

• Operational: for all staff to check that the details of the office, teaching room or laboratory are up to date and accurate.
• Strategic: for Heads of Department and designated administrators to ensure that the record of rooms allocated to each department is accurate for the previous Academic Year. Space Planning team processes this record annually and sends it to the Finance Office for the Resource Allocation Model.

Building Record Drawings Portal

This is a list of record drawings managed by Space Planning. The Building Records Drawings Portal contains basic floor plans, hatched floor plans illustrating department room allocations and building elevations. Each drawing is available in both Autocad .dwg format and pdf.

The coloured building plans are also available. Simply select the relevant room number within the Department Accommodation survey.

To view and/or mark up the Autocad drawings you should download Autocad Design Review software.

Space Planning strives to ensure that the record drawings are as accurate as possible. If you notice any inaccuracies please email a marked up drawing or description to David Knox.

Shared Room Portals

Rooms occupied by staff or students from multiple departments/faculties can be identified and shared in the space management database based on the names of all room occupants. Workstations within these rooms are numbered. They are allocated to students by Department Telephone Directory Administrators. There are currently five shared room portals, one for TIC and one each for each Faculty.

• TIC - Shared Room
• Faculty of Engineering Shared Rooms
• Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Shared Rooms
• Faculty of Science Shared Rooms
