2014Rice University Study
Office and Administrative Space
President’s Town Hall Meeting:
• “Space… on this campus is now unbelievably tight. It is too tight. In addition to that, it’s not clear that the space we have is optimally allocated,”
• “What tends to happen at Rice and other places … is once folks get space, they tend to keep the space whether or not it’s the optimal use.”

Space as a Resource
President’s Town Hall Meeting:
• “Like other universities, we are going to have to get better at these kinds of things.”
• “We’ll be reviewing space around the campus to see how it’s allocated – which units might need a little less space, which units might need a little more – because if we can get more efficient, we can save money.”

Utilization of Our Space Resource
President’s Town Hall Meeting:
“Just figure, roughly, $600 per square foot. So every time you find 1,000 square feet you thought you didn’t have, that’s $600,000 you don’t have to spend.”
