Space Management

Our work directly supports the University Space Policy (PDF, 28.8KB), including the drafting of spatial standards for common activities.

The main reasons that your Department might contact Space Management will be:

• Inability to house all our activities in the existing spatial configuration
• To plan a change of space in order to meet new teaching or research requirements
• For reports of analysis of the space your Faculty or Division occupies
• To provide a commentary on a new initiative pre or post CIPB (Capital Investment Programme Board) submission
• To establish correct numbers/names of buildings
• To request access and training to view the spatial database - CARB
• To let us know that you are no longer using a portfolio of space.

The main reasons that Space Management may contact your Department will be:

• To resolve a question about the usage of your existing space
• To discuss the long term planning of your Department's spatial footprint
• As part of a University spatial audit
• To share reports or data that may be helpful to your planning process.

CAD drawings

Space Management maintains the University's spatial databases, including the CAD library. For further information on the procedures for University of Bristol staff, please follow the link to the CAD Wiki site.
If you are an external visitor please follow the relevant links below:

• How to access CAD drawings  (PDF, 155Kb)
• The University of Bristol CAD Standards (PDF, 483Kb)  These CAD Standards are to be applied to the creation or editing of any CAD drawings/ files (.dwg), whether they are created by UoB internal staff or external contractors and consultants.
• The University of Bristol CAD Template File (Zip, 12.5Mb) This file can be downloaded to assist in the creation of CAD files, to conform to the University of Bristol CAD Standards.

Space Management is a small team with a significant portion of its time earmarked for work arising out of University core objectives.  As such, it is best to provide us with as much notice as possible of any assistance you may need, particularly if you require additional space.   Please note that we can only allocate resources for new initiatives (such as a new research group) within the envelope of resources set by the Capital Investment Programme Board (CIPB).  We can work with you to identify spatial options for inclusion in your bid to CIPB.
