5.1 When making requests for space change, remodeling or moving, requesters shall submit a Space Request/Reassignment Form or Facility Modification Request Form with required supporting documentation (drawings, pictures, etc., that describe the project) to the appropriate reviewers. The form and supporting documentation must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate dean or division associate vice president, the appropriate vice president, and the Associate Vice President of Facilities/Planning. The form is then submitted for consideration to the Infrastructure Committee.
5.2 The Infrastructure Committee reviews all requests. As appropriate, requests may be assigned to Facilities/Planning for a feasibility and cost study.
