Space Utilization Initiative Spotlight

Space Utilization Underway at U-M

The Provost Office launched a new Web site to detail its ambitious initiative to explore the utilization of space and facilities on the Ann Arbor campus.

Those wishing to follow the progress of the Space Utilization Initiative can get an overview and updates at: www.provost.umich.edu/space.

The multi-year space initiative will involve the cooperation of departments, schools, and colleges to develop a long-term plan that will be guided by a commitment to academic and research excellence.

Rapidly rising energy costs and declining state dollars motivated the long-range look at how U-M can best use its physical resources. The effort also parallels the University’s goal to be a responsible steward of the environment.
