Space Management

The Space Management module, which is part of the M-Pathways Physical Resources System, simplifies the annual process of collecting space data for the University space survey. The system allows units to submit the survey electronically and track space data throughout the year. The space survey is used by the Office of Space Analysis for Federal and State reporting purposes. The electronic survey eliminates the expense of distributing and storing paper forms and reduces errors.

The Space Management module is used in several ways:

  • It is used to collect and maintain data for reporting purposes. The Office of Space Analysis uses the data for U-M, state, and federal reporting. The Office of Cost Reimbursement uses this data as a key component in the Indirect Cost recovery negotiations with the federal government. Other departments, such as ITCom, Plant Operations and Maintenance Services, and the Key Office depend on the space data to perform their tasks.
  • The space data ties square footage and room numbers to key plans produced by the Facilities Planning and Design Key Plan Office.
  • The Space Management module provides the authoritative source of data for locations within the University. The Procurement module, Asset Management module, Human Resources module in HRMS, and others use the building and room location data stored in the Space Management module in their transactions.
  • Some units use the module to help manage their space by collecting data such as room elements.
