Renovations and Relocations 

This guide is to help faculty and staff work with their School and/or Department in the occupancy of assigned lab or office space.  

Introduction to Relocations and Renovations 

All relocations are funded and managed by the School or Department Administration in coordination with faculty and staff resources as appropriate. 

When relocating or expanding assigned space, plan ahead.  Assess your needs and confirm the space in question is sufficiently equipped:

  • Electrical Outlets – are there enough standard and emergency electrical outlets? Are there sufficient gas or vacuum turrets, if applicable?
  • Lighting – is additional or task/equipment specific lighting required?
  • HVAC – does the space and/or equipment require specific HVAC or exhaust functions?
  • Plumbing – Do you require the use of or have a water polishing or purifying system?

Custom renovations will be funded by the new occupant’s home School/Department (or the School/Department that has initiated a space relocation).


In the case where a renovation is the result of a relocation initiated by VCHS/HSSAC (Health Sciences Space Advisory Committee), the PSM office will endeavor to meet the programmatic needs of the relocating group.
