Space Allocation And Timetabling Policy Development
Mosaic Space has wide experience of helping institutions to draft and implement space allocation and timetabling policies, which are becoming increasingly important tools in the drive for more efficient use of space. The effective and efficient use of space is a key factor in the ability of higher and further education institutions to meet their strategic goals. Buildings are generally the largest capital asset in an institution, and universities and colleges seek to ensure that all space is used in an appropriate and effective manner.
Most institutions are facing increasing demands on space, brought about by growth in the number and range of their activities and financial constraints driving the need for efficiencies. This makes a process of space allocation that is fair, consistent and responsible crucial to an institution's total approach to space management
The success of any move away from a de-centralised, 'piecemeal' approach to timetabling to an integrated university-wide scheduling environment is almost always dependent on the formulation and successful implementation of a comprehensive timetabling and space use policy. This places the timetable decision-making process within an agreed framework of rules and desired outcomes, and aligns institutional goals with operational processes that help to minimise disputes, provide equitable timetables for all students and staff, and assist with the efficient use and management of space.
