Managing Campus Space

Inventorying, account for, and managing space on campus is an exercise fraught with difficulty (including politics). Many SCUP members, from SCUP's inception in the 1960s through to this time, are engaged in managing campus space, or providing consulting services about space management to colleges and universities. This collection of resources is intended to be the one place you can go to find resources, or links to resources, that will inform you about managing space on campus.
