Space Request Procedure

Requests for space will proceed through the following steps:

Step 1

The department, unit or individual must complete the Space Request Form in collaboration with the 
appropriate authority designated for the faculty or department.

Step 2

After the Space Request Form has been completed, the Space Request Form must be signed by the unit/departmental Director or Head of a particular unit or department, and by the Dean of the Faculty or Vice-President or designate prior to submitting the request. The completed and signed forms are to be forwarded to the Space Management email 
address: spaceplanning@uwindsor.ca. The forms will then be forwarded to the Space Planning Committee. 

Step 3

The Space Planning Committee will evaluate, discuss, and prioritize the requests for space and make a recommendation. 

The following criteria will be used in determining a space request: 

1. Departmental and University objectives.
