Efficient Space planning is a growing concern among large facilities. This course will explore topics such as measuring space usage for over or under utilization, efficient use of space, multi-use spaces, financial implications and the development of plans for current and future needs. Students will consider capacity based analysis, peak occupancy analysis, and other factors involving space utilization. Discussions will include the management of events, as they relate to facilities space planning.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Students will develop a general space usage plan to meet the overall needs of the facilities.
Students will develop a specific plan demonstrating efficient utilization of facilities space.
Given various scenarios, students will develop contingency plans to unforeseen circumstances.
Students will develop risk management considerations as they relate to the reallocation of space usage. Such as impact on staff, impact on facility, needs & wants.
Given a problem regarding technological issues (internet, food/water, electrical, sound, plumbing staffing) students will develop a plan to address these issues.
