Space Planning, Facilities, and Security

The Library Space Planning, Facilities, and Security Department’s primary mission is to oversee all planning and building related issues as follows:

• Establish overall master planning guidelines for main and branch libraries in coordination with the Campus and Library administration.
• Plan and coordinate construction of new and renovated Library areas with campus project managers.
• Monitor all building repair and maintenance issues with Campus Physical Plant, Planning, Design & Construction (PD&C), and Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) staff.
• Implement emergency preparedness and response plans during any library or campus-wide emergency in coordination with the Campus.
• Provide Main Library security in coordination with Campus Police via routine patrols of all public and staff work areas. Respond and report building facilities breakdowns and emergencies.
• Provide transport services of books, supplies, and equipment between Main, branch library, NRLF, and warehouse facilities.
• Provide move and repair services of library equipment and furniture.

The Library Space Planning, Facilities and Security Department was created based upon the recommendations of the Administrative Services Task Force review conducted in 1995. The department is a result of a consolidation of several independent units: Space Planning, Building Management Services (BMS), and Security. As the result of the consolidation and realignment of work, and staff attrition, overall staffing has been reduced by 10 FTE.

Budget Recommendations:

Use existing Facilities and Security staff to fill in for Jason Delaney's internship with Library Systems Office starting March 1 - August 1998. Anticipated savings for FY 1997-98: March-June = $9144 (contributes to the $50K Year 1 savings target)

 

Additional savings for FY 1998-99: $27,432 - $10,500 = $16,932 (Jason's salary offset with Gail Benson's status change in Security from 50% to 100% FTE)
