The University Space Official oversees the policies, processes, and data that guide how university space is allocated and used across campus. This page provides an overview of space-related resources, standards, and planning efforts. The Office of Space Management plays a critical role in advancing Virginia Tech’s mission by ensuring the strategic, equitable, and efficient use of existing university space resources in support of the University Strategic Plan.
