All campus space is owned by the UW Tacoma Chancellor’s Office and is not property of any department. Assignment of space is based on priorities that are reflective of UWT mission as prioritized by Executive Leadership Team (ELT). Vacated space is returned to the general campus inventory for reassignment by the chancellor through appropriate process.
Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) is responsible for the management of this limited and finite resource. IFM provides space planning and strategic analysis of campus space to ensure an efficient and equitable allocation and the highest and best use of space to support the University’s mission, goals and objectives.
