Space Management

The Space Management Group at WVU is responsible for collecting, maintaining, and analyzing accurate space data across all University properties. In addition to managing space inventory, the team provides GIS services that support the institution through the development of detailed maps and spatial analysis. These tools enhance campus planning, decision-making, and the efficient use of University resources.

Responsibilities

Annual University Space Audit	WVU conducts an annual space audit to collect updated space usage information from building supervisors across campus. This data is used to maintain an accurate and up-to-date space database, ensuring that room assignments and space classifications reflect current usage. The collected information is then submitted to the Finance Department, where it plays a critical role in informing and shaping financial resources.
Space Data Management	Responsible for collecting, managing, and tracking space data across the university, including its regional campuses. Space Management maintains an up-to-date inventory of facilities and closely monitors space usage to ensure accurate records. Working in coordination with campus planners, facilities management, and other University stakeholders, the department supports strategic planning and decision-making by providing reliable space data for all WVU campuses.
Floor Plans, Room Numbering, and Building Addressing	Maintains the university's floor plan documents and establishes room numbers and building addresses for all University facilities. Ensures that digital floor plans are up-to-date, accurately reflecting building layouts and individual rooms.
GIS Mapping	Manages all GIS mapping needs across the university, including the creation and maintenance of interactive online maps. These maps provide essential information on parking lot locations and numbers, campus safety features, and accessibility routes, helping students, faculty, and visitors navigate the campus. The department regularly updates these maps to reflect any changes in campus infrastructure, ensuring they are both accurate and user-friendly. By leveraging GIS technology, the department supports informed decision-making and enhances the overall campus experience.
