Space Surveys of Instructional Facilities and Offices at The Collins College of Hospitality Management to Start on Monday, March 18

Summary of disruption: Technicians from MetaBIM, a space management consulting firm under contract to Facilities Planning & Management (FP&M), will begin measurements of instructional and office spaces at The Collins College of Hospitality Management on Monday, March 18. Space surveys will occur weekdays from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Findings from the surveys will help the university improve its space management capabilities and maintain accurate space records.

The affected buildings and work schedules

The Collins College of Hospitality Management (Buildings 79, 79A, 79B and 80): Monday, March 18 through early April.

Reason for disruption: Allow the space contractor to help the university maintain an accurate inventory and measurements of all instructional spaces on campus. This work is vital to obtaining resources as part of the CSU capital planning process and to enhance campus space utilization. An FP&M staff member will accompany contractors at all times, and contractors will carry a MetaBIM employee ID for identification. The space surveys are expected to continue through spring 2024.

How does this affect me? Technicians will use digital imaging and measuring equipment inside classrooms, teaching labs, faculty and administrative offices/workspaces. The work will be conducted around course schedules to avoid disruptions, and technicians will only survey unoccupied classrooms and labs spaces. Any sensitive or personal equipment should be removed or locked away during the survey dates, but technicians will work around the items.

What do I need to do? Offices and workspaces may need to be vacated for several minutes to allow technicians to conduct digital imaging and room measurements. Occupants may remain at their office to observe, if preferred. Please share this information with others in the buildings who may have not received this message.
