Space Planning

Campus Planning provides facility space planning services that support academic growth and program changes at BCIT and maintains floor plan records. Space data is continuously updated throughout the year to reflect space use changes made by departments and space layout changes made through project renovations.

BCIT has guidelines for office space, including ergonomic desk and task chair recommendations, storage, and space management. The guidelines aims to reflect the changing nature of office work by supporting new communication technologies and hybrid work schedules. It also promotes office designs that encourage team collaboration and flexibility.

In order for Campus Planning to review a space planning or office furniture work request, staff must submit a work request through the Archibus system. For staff request, please sign into the Archibus Portal, and submit the WR under the problem type “FURNITURE-SPACE” category. Note that work requests from a school or department usually require them to provide a budget to cover the costs associated with their work requests.
