Space Needs Assessment

CFP has the expertise and experience to assess the space needs for all types of academic, administrative and auxiliary facilities on your campus. Our services include:

  • Evaluation of enrollment, personnel, academic programs and services to meet current and future space needs and priorities.
  • Detailed analysis of space surpluses and deficits by discipline and by room type.
  • Impact of new programs and services on space needs.
  • Identification of trends and best practices in higher education.
  • Qualitative and functional assessment of space to programmatic needs.
  • Peer data comparison by discipline, room type and/or student/faculty FTE.
  • Recommendations for optimal space use and allocation.

The results of needs assessment studies are documented in charts and reports that can be used to justify or negate space needs requests, as well as to inform long term planning. In addition, this information will help administrators formulate plans for renovation and/or new construction, and better manage the funding and prioritization of such projects.
