Thousands of students, employees, visitors and community members share space on Oregon State University\u2019s Corvallis campus each day. Looking at the numbers, the core Corvallis campus adds up to 570 acres and 5.7 million gross square footage of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered how all of the pieces of this large space puzzle fit together? The Space Management<\/a> team with University Facilities, Infrastructure and Operations<\/a> helps answer that question. People across campus recognize space analyst Eric Smith as a familiar face when it comes to space. He helps compile information for the annual OSU Space Survey. During his seven years with the university, Smith has learned a lot about OSU\u2019s floor plans, square footage and just how much goes into moving to new spaces or from place to place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy getting out on campus and meeting people. I\u2019ve learned a lot of random things, seeing all the different architecture, all the different research [that goes on at the university],\u201d Smith said. \u201cIf you visit a space and it is being used for research, those people in the space are going to talk to you about the research they are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tasks managed by the Space Management team align with one of the principles included in the Division of Finance and Administration<\/a>\u2019s Framework for Success project: Active stewardship of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team provides effective stewardship of OSU\u2019s space,\nby managing space requests, facilitating the annual space survey,\nsupporting campus moves coordination and providing space allocation and\nutilization reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is what I do when I go out and look at spaces and talk to\npeople for the space survey. We\u2019re here to serve the university. We don\u2019t want\nto underutilize our space,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
