Intent & Objectives

It is intended that the Space Planning Guidelines will support the university in efficient and fair space planning. The guidelines will apply university-wide and aim to achieve the following goals:

• Impartiality – ensure that space is allocated, renovated and built in an equitable manner across the campus.
• Consistency – ensure consistent practices in space allocation, renovation and construction.
• Efficiency – ensure space is well utilized and efficiently planned for all intended purposes.
• Flexibility – ensure that spaces are planned to meet current and future needs such as allowing for future modifications.

In making space standards transparent, we hope to:

• Minimise contentions over space allocation
• Benchmark space usage for all departments/faculties
• Maximise use of existing accommodation
• Reduce the need for new/additional space
• Match more effectively required space with availability
