The Educational Plant Survey is a review of the our Physical Plant which is done every 5 years. The survey is conducted in two parts. The first part is the validation which compares the records in the space file with the plans and the facilities of all the changes and additions that have taken place in the previous 5 years. After corrections are made, a new file is submitted and a new space generation formula is run for each of the '10 Categories of Space'. The second part is the needs assessment in which we request projects, based on our projected need or program need.
Space is categorized as 'assignable' and 'non-assignable'.
Within the 'assignable' space is the 10 Categories of Space. There are other spaces that are assignable but are not in the 10 Categories of Space. To see a graphical interpretation of the way space is categorized in the SUS, click here .
