Space Planning and Management is preparing for the next annual space survey. Each department’s help is essential to ensure the University of North Texas has an accurate record of space and how it is used. UNT is required by state and federal law to maintain and report this information, as it helps secure federal research reimbursements and is used in determining state funding.
The space survey will collect data such as:
Each department or unit should have designated someone to respond to the survey and
someone to approve it. These individuals need to know how their department uses each
room and how the activities in each room are funded, especially in research-intensive
areas. Each department will receive a list of assigned spaces and a description of
how that space is classified. The departments must verify the information, descriptions,
and classifications room-by-room.

The Space Survey is administered online through the FMS:Workplace Space Management System.
All public higher education institutions in the State must submit an annual facility inventory report to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to fulfill provisions of the Higher Education Coordinating Act of 1965 as amended (codified as Subtitle B, Chapter 61, Texas Education Code, 1971). The amount, type, and use of physical space are components used to determine each institution’s funding. Space Management and Planning is responsible for submitting this report (per UNT policy 11.002). Conducting an annual Space Survey is the tool used to ensure accuracy in UNT’s reporting.
The Space Survey is administered online through the FMS:Workplace Space Management System. Your PC must be logged into the UNT network. The Space Management System is optimized for use with the latest versions of Fireforx, Safari, and Chrome. Please remember to disable pop-up blockers.
