Description of Request

Submitted By: Chris Kearns

The Division of Student Success (DoSS) has a growing need for additional space for staff. With Suite 180 in the Strand Union Building slated to be vacated by the Office of Disability Services once Romney Hall is re-opened, we request to utilize the vacated suite to address the various office space needs within the Division. DoSS needs offices/workspaces for two to three UIT personnel, potential Sophomore Surge personnel, Office of Planning & Analysis Data Support staff (tentative), and potentially two Title IX Respondent Services staff. Exact staffing scenarios are not known at this time, but there will be approximately five office/workspaces opening once current occupants relocate into Romney Hall. Some staff members will need to be relocated out of existing office space across campus. These include workspaces within the Registrar’s Office, Admissions Office and potentially the Sophomore Surge location in the Library, which are all intended to be filled by new hires. Current HR employee and Dean of Students employee would remain in suite as is.

 

Resolution

Date: September 10, 2021

Space Management Committee has approved the allocation of Suite 180 to the Division of Student Success so they may expand their office and accommodate additional staff.
