Historical NoteReturn to Top

The primary function of the Space Priorities Committee was to submit recommendations to the President concerning the functioning, occupancy, and alterations of University buildings. The Committee was comprised of ten faculty/staff members in addition to the Director of Facilities Planning, the Registrar, the Director of Physical Plant, and the Space Analyst. During the 1971 administrative reorganization, when it was placed under the Senate's University Planning Committee, the Committee functions were expanded and it was renamed the Physical Facilities Subcommittee.
