AHC Space Management

The AHC Office of Facilities and Capital Planning provides space planning services to the colleges, departments and programs of the AHC.  The office is responsible for tracking and resolving space requests and needs, as well as aiding the AHC’s Senior Vice President and AHC Deans in assigning space.  In this process, there is close contact with the AHC Schools, Colleges and Programs.  We work to advise and assist them on space matters involving their existing inventories and space assignment processes. 

When space issues go beyond internal inventories and processes, as, for example, in the construction of new square footage, leasing, capital budget planning or transfers between AHC program inventories, the office facilitates a coordinated AHC approach which involves balancing individual needs with needs across the AHC striving for logical spatial adjacencies and the best programmatic fit.
 
Our office uses a number of resources and capabilities to resolve space requests, including:

• space utilization analysis
• space inventory tracking and reporting (Current AHC inventory) (SOS)
• space request process, space request form, current space requests list   
• oversight of new/release space providing recommendations for re-use to the Senior Vice President
• allocation of space in AHC storage areas
• lease space options and lease change tracking
