Space and Property Management
About us
The Space and Property Management Division looks after the lease and sale of property within the University. The service also maintains a detailed and accurate record of space usage in the University through the MICAD Intranet Property Register Database. It is essential that the University supplies accurate data on space use as MICAD is used to generate Estates Management Statistics (EMS) reports to HESA and Transparent Approach to Costing (TRAC) reports to HEFCE which directly affect the University's funding from the Government.
Space allocation is determined through a process of approval under the direction of the Space Utilization sub-Committee. Requests for new space should be discussed with the Space Management Surveyor who will also inform you of any deadlines that need to be met.
