In support of our Mission, the office is responsible in these general areas:

1.  Being an information resource.   The Office of Facilities Coordination maintains the central repository containing the detailed building and room inventory.  This database is updated periodically, noting all changes which affect the space utilization of the University's facilities. Inventories are for the following TAMU System components:

Texas A&M University

TAMU Systems Agencies: College Station

TAMUS Health Science Center: College Station, Temple, Dallas, Houston

Texas A&M University at Galveston

     2.  Providing a wide range of analytical functions.  Using the attribute database of the facilities inventory, analyses ranging from the simple description of room usages to the development of complex space needs assessments for university departments can be provided.

    3.  Developing reports that deliver the necessary information for a given need or application.  

        External reporting - The facilities inventory database is reported periodically to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).  In part, these data are used by the THECB to analyze Classroom and Teaching Lab Utilization, state-wide space needs, and infrastructure funding needs .

        Internal reporting - Reports providing the facilities or land use data needed as the basis for the management decisions in support of internal university initiatives.  Examples include: Classroom and Teaching Lab Utilization; Space Needs Assessment and Planning System (S.N.A.P.S.); and infrastructure funding.

    4.  Coordination of University land use.  Through the use of a land use inventory, noting current and future land uses, the office coordinates the uses of the University's land.  This provides for the active management of the University's land and related interests and includes coordinating such activities as oil well drilling access; research projects at Riverside Campus, and event coordination/notification.
