Space Planning and Requests at UMSL
UMSL Planning, Design, and Construction (PDC) manages space planning and allocation across campus to ensure the university’s physical resources are used effectively, strategically, and in support of institutional goals.
If your department needs additional space or plans to modify the use of an existing space, a Space Request Form must be submitted. Requests should be initiated and approved by the appropriate Dean or Vice Chancellor before being sent to Facilities Management for review.
Once received, Facilities Management conducts an analysis and forwards recommendations to the Physical Facilities Committee. Final approval is determined by the Chancellor’s Office, based on those recommendations and alignment with campus priorities.
