Research space is an institutional asset and is critical to fulfill UNBC’s mission and mandate. It must be managed strategically and thoughtfully, like other UNBC assets. Research space must be used efficiently, effectively, and equitably, especially as demand for research space grows, and costs to maintain space increase. Research at UNBC is diverse and space must be available to those who need it regardless of discipline.
Research Space Allocation Policy
Research Space Allocation Procedures
Requests for research space require completion of the Space Allocation Request Form which is then submitted to the Facilities department. Research space requests are reviewed by the VP Research and Innovation on a monthly basis but depending on the request made and available space, it may take some time to allocate suitable space.
Key Requests
For access to allocated research space, complete the Key Request Form and send it to facilities@unbc.ca with “key request-research space” in the subject line.
