Space

Space at Sam Houston State University is an institutional asset, one that is growing increasingly expensive due to rising costs of new construction and facility operations. Effective facilities planning and space management is critical in maximizing the use of available resources.

Request Map or Floor Plan

Before requesting a map or floor plan, identify the type and format that you need. For printed copies, we will need to know the size, color, and quantity of the map/floor plan.

To request a campus map or building floor plan, please go to the FAMIS Self Service and put in a service request. Select site (for a campus map, select “main” site) and then select building (for floor plans). Once the building is selected, click the “Service Request” at the bottom, then click the “Create Service Request” and follow the steps to request a “Campus Drawing”.

Review, Survey, & Audit

Frequency: Annually

Scope: The Campus Space Planner (CSP) reconciles the THECB Facilities Inventory list with renovations, new construction, modifications in room usage and space utilization that occurs throughout the year. The data is verified, the database is updated, and the Facilities Space Inventory is submitted to the THECB by November 1st of each year. Once the inventory is certified by the THECB and space use efficiency scores are received the following January, the CSP will notify, by March 1st of the same year, all campus departments that their Facilities Space Inventory information is available online at the Space Management website for evaluation and review. A reminder letter to review the space inventory and submit changes will be sent by the CSP in May as follow up.

Inventory

The university's space inventory data is used for indirect cost analysis, facilities planning, and space assignments. The inventory is also used for state reporting requirements to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), in other University applications, and as a resource for university leaders and departments. The accuracy of this information is critical for compliance with government and sponsoring agencies.

The state inventory data displays the educational utilization of each building on our campus.
