The INSITE Space Management System provides an institution-wide view of managed space at UAB. INSITE serves as a central repository for space inventory, tracking space-related attributes, room ID and numbers, organization assignment, architectural room use, and area. It is also utilized to track Grant information, space occupants and functional usage. Assignment of this information through the space survey is a key component in the calculations of Facilities & Administrative cost recovery.
Additional uses of INSITE:
- Maintenance of Building Codes Database
- Origination and Maintenance of University floor plans library
- Assignment of official room numbers
- Prepare and Publish Space-related reports
