The mission of the Space Management Office is to collect, maintain, supply and analyze UW-Madison facility utilization information; to identify, assign and acquire space and real property resources required for all university academic, research and administrative programs on and off campus; and to provide and support modern learning spaces with enhanced instructional technology.
To better meet the Department’s space utilization, alignment, and planning goals, we transitioned to a new web-based facility application, INSITE (Net-FM). This program integrates facilities information with other campus data sources and allows implementation of new business practices for the university to achieve the following:
- streamline data collection processes
- permit efficient school/college/department data access
- link Principal Investigators and research grants to space
- link people to space
- track assets and capital equipment
This system transition was completed by March 2012.
