The Operations & Facilities Management physical planning team proactively supports and plans for the School of Medicine’s physical needs to ensure proper stewardship, care and expansion planning in its mission of patient care, research and education.

Physical space planning helps departments improve key adjacencies, better utilize existing space, and plan for important renovations. To continue to meet current and future space needs, departments are now participating in rolling 5-year physical planning activities with annual updates.
