New form/process for requesting space changes on campus

Capital Planning and Development is launching a new form, the Space Modification Request, to simplify the process of requesting functional or capacity changes to work and instructional spaces on campus.  

This form should be used to begin the process of proposing or requesting: 

• Minor Works projects to be included in the 2023-2025 Capital Budget Request 

• Projects funded by departmental or institutional funds 

• Projects funded by University Residences funds 

• Any project that changes current space capacity, function type, or function level, for example: 

• Converting office space to instructional space 

• Converting a traditional classroom to active learning 

• Renovating a laboratory 

• Renovating to create or reorganize workspaces 

Space Administration and Planning will ensure the project follows design specifications, receives appropriate approvals, and aligns with Western's space goals and standards. Any project to be funded in the Capital Budget Request will be evaluated by the legislature's Space Planning and Resource Committee and will require State Legislative approval. 

On the form, please provide requested information, including project location, goals, requirements, and funding sources, and attach supporting documentation. 

Deans have been briefed on the new process and form. If you have questions about using the new form, please contact Ellen Kuhlmann, Space Administration Program Manager. 

All maintenance and repair requests should be made to Facilities Management through the ReADY web portal.
