FACILITIES SPACE CHANGE AND ALLOCATION PROCEDURES
Facilities planning, space management and reporting plays an important role in the operations of
an institution of higher education. Efficient use and accurate reporting of existing space and
facilities is critical in maximizing the use of available resources and potential funding.
The Accountant who handles property management maintains the facilities space change and
allocation procedures. The Accountant is also responsible for the timely and accurate reporting
of changes to the LSCPA facilities data to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
(THECB).
Process:
1. Complete the Facilities Space Change and Allocation Request form. Attach any
relevant supporting documentation. All percentage allocations should total to 100%.
2. Complete plans showing the desired alterations (if any).
a. Notations on existing floor plans can identify the desired alteration. For
example, a single line can identify a new wall; a line break depicting an
opening can identify a door location; a notation of “delete wall” can suffice for
wall demolition. The Physical Plant has drawings of existing buildings on
campus which can assist in alteration plans.
3. Obtain required signatures from Department Chair, Vice President Academic Affairs,
Executive Vice President of Operations & Finance and the President. The signature of
the Director of Physical Plant is only required if alterations are being requested.
4. Submit the completed form along with the required signatures and any supporting
documentation to the Accountant.
5. After receipt of all required documentation the Accountant will make the necessary
changes to the LSCPA facilities database and will then submit the revised facilities
data to the THECB.
Approval Process Timeline:
1. Depends upon project scale, scope, and complexity.
