The Capital Planning and Space Administration team provides strategic leadership and governance of space, facilities, and capital resources to advance Michigan State University’s mission. To that end, the team leads capital planning across the university—including development of the 5-Year Capital Plan—ensuring alignment between institutional priorities and resources.
The Capital Planning and Space Administration team is responsible for:
- Space and Facilities Planning & Strategy: translating programmatic requirements into scenarios and frameworks that guide institutional investments.
- Facilities Management Integration: incorporation of operational needs, facility conditions, and occupant experiences into capital planning and long-term stewardship decisions.
- Operations, Data & Governance: establishing policies, processes, and governance frameworks that—in combination with rigorous space and financial analysis—drive sustainable capital and space decisions.
- Systems & User Experience: creation and management of the digital tools and workflows, such as Spartan Space, that make space administration accessible to the university community.
