Space is a critical resource that supports teaching, research, and campus life.
The Space Planning Office manages and stewards this space as a shared institutional asset, aligning it with evolving academic and operational priorities. Through planning, data, and coordination, we help ensure space is used effectively across the University of Waterloo.
Whether planning a renovation, reallocating space, or exploring space data, we support informed decision-making across campus.
