Shared Spaces
The Operations and Facilities Management Department created the Education & Campus Support Services Program (ECSS) to manage all shared spaces at Washington University School of Medicine.
The program also manages services for those shared spaces and certain auxiliary services on campus like retail and dining.
The goals of this program include effective utilization, quality program support, sound financial management and physical stewardship. The program and core services will support the campus’ core mission of education, clinical care and innovative research.
To reserve a shared space in the NRB, please visit meet.wustl.edu or call the ECSS team at 314-747-6338.
