Health Sciences Space Advisory Committee (HSSAC)

The Health Sciences Space Advisory Committee (HSSAC) was established to provide general guidance and specific recommendations to the Vice Chancellor of Health Sciences in regard to the most effective use of existing space, the assignment of new space, and the need for future facilities development for instruction and research, and organized research activities.

The committee will:

2. Recommend space analyses as needed.

5. Recommend programmatic priorities for space assignments, and development of new space.
6. Assist in defining the need/scope of future instruction and research space, and ORU related support facilities.
