UVM's Space Survey is jointly administered by Financial Accounting, Costing, and Treasury Services and Planning, Design and Construction.
Every UVM department must complete the annual Space Survey to update information on:
- Space assignment, room type, and room occupants
- Functional activities and funding sources of rooms
Data collected through this survey are key factors for assessing facilities and space costs for the University’s Incentive-based Budgeting (IBB) model, and providing important information for the University’s F&A (indirect costs), income/expense rates, program costing, and space management and planning.
FY26 Space Survey
The University’s FY26 space survey will be starting April 13 with a completion deadline of June 30, 2026. The University’s AttainSpace system will be used by department surveyors to view and update room and occupancy information on the space survey form. Participants can register for one of the non-academic department training sessions or the academic department-specific training session listed below.
Please contact Joanna.Birbeck@uvm.edu and/or Dawn.Caffrey@uvm.edu.
Key Dates/Deadlines
AttainSpace training sessions for non-academic and academic units will be offered separately. Non-academic unit training sessions will be 1 hour and are for units that primarily occupy office space. Academic unit training sessions will be 2 hours and geared toward academic units that occupy, in addition to office space, research labs, lab service rooms, greenhouses and other non-office room types that require more complex space functional usage considerations and will use more of the AttainSpace features.
Please be sure to sign up for one of the appropriate FY26 Space Survey Training options identified below.
