1 Process Definition: Space Management 1. SUMMARY 1.1. This document defines the Space Management process adopted by the Australian National University (University) and how the Space management team within Facilities and Services (F&S, or the Division) manage this process in detail The relationship between this process and the other processes within the F&S management system is illustrated in the process flow map included in the Quality Manual. 2. REVISION AND APPROVAL Rev. Date Nature of Changes Approved By 0 25/11/2016 Original Issue Sarah O Callaghan 1 17/03/2017 QMS Revision Sarah O Callaghan 2 03/07/2018 QMS Revision Removal of Hazardous Materials Management Flow Chart Sarah O Callaghan 3 2/11/2018 QMS Internal Audit Sarah O Callaghan 3. PROCESS DEFINITION 3.1. The Space Management team is part of the F&S Projects portfolio and manages space allocations both within the University and to external stakeholders. The Space Management team utilise the ARCHIBUS Space Management Module which allows ANU staff to view floor plans across the University and to report on a wide range of space information. The Division works collaboratively with our clients to negotiate suitable space outcomes, and acts as the University s custodian of technical building data and information Core functions of the Space Management team include: Management of the ANU space management system extending to the management of technical drawings, plans, data and information Space allocation, auditing, benchmarking and reporting Management of geographical information system (GIS) databases The development and update of maps pertaining to the University s campuses and sites. 4. BUSINESS UNIT PROCESS OBJECTIVES AND METRICS 4.1. The Space Management process objectives and metrics have been derived from, and align with, the Goals detailed in the F&S 2018 Strategic Business Plan The objectives for the Space Management processes are defined in detail below and reviewed during the conduct of quarterly management reviews; see the documented procedure Management Review.

2 4.3. In addition, each process objective has at least one metric (or KPI) with which management can measure the effectiveness of the Business Unit process. These are also defined below and reviewed quarterly in records of management reviews. Objective 1 Development and Implementation of a Space Management system (Meets F&S Divisional Goals 2 & 3) Team Tasks KPI Lead By By When Implementation and maintenance of ARCHIBUS - Improve the integrity of space data (classification of all space types and occupancy) through regular validation activities with all clients - Provision of education and training on space data to F&S peers and clients Provide accurate data to enable the University s response to a range of benchmarking studies, such as TEFMA, G08 and Uniforum Liaise with Colleges and Schools to improve the functionality and reporting in ARCHIBUS, coordinate enhancements to data collection and reporting. Development and implementation of policies and procedures, incl. user guides when software updates occur (as required) - Increased accuracy in room type allocations (i.e. reduction in room types allocated 'one hundred' series, refer Go8 Data Dictionary) - All ANU Buildings audited and data entered in ARCHIBUS - Reduction in GFA, GBA errors / inconsistencies GFA and UFA confirmed with variance to previous years justified Enhancements made in conjunction with icad / Deputy Manager Deputy Manager Deputy Manager Post implementation of a software update Changes to space allocations to be captured as they occur/notified Review and assurance of data prior to provision Provision of requirements to icad in a timely manner Objective 2 Provide Space management data to Internal and External Clients (Meets F&S Divisional Goals 3 & 4) Team Tasks KPI Lead By By When Provide accurate spatial information / analytics as required Administration of F&S internal processes - TEFMA survey completed - Go8 Infrastructure Survey Completed - Requests for spatial analytics completed Coordination of excavation permits, space handback / requests, hazardous materials registers, drawings and OMM management as required Deputy Manager Page 2 of 8

3 Contribute to various F&S projects / activities including Union Court Redevelopment Project, capital works projects, F&S asset management improvement program - Provide information/input as required for capital works - Provide information as needed for asset management improvement program Objective 3 Deliver accurate and relevant Space Management products to ANU (Meets F&S Divisional Goals 3 & 4) Team Tasks KPI Lead By By When Assist with defining the Space/Planning/Projects process to provide a strong model with associated procedures Process and procedures adopted Ensure the timely update of all ANU base / master plans. Drawings updated Senior Drawing Officer Lead the revision and update of drawings required for the University, including changes necessary to maintain accuracy of the ARCHIBUS Space Management Data Base ARCHIBUS and Drawing accuracy maintained Senior Drawing Officer/Deputy Manager 5. PROCESS OWNERS AND RESPONSIBLE PARTIES 5.1. The owner of this process is the F&S The is responsible for the provision of all space management services within the University, including but not limited, to developing, implementing and managing the framework for efficient, effective and sustainable space utilisation. The is also responsible for the supervision of the Space Management team The will develop and maintain professional and effective working relationships, and be responsive and work closely with other team members across the Projects portfolio and across the Division. The will be required to engage and liaise with stakeholders across the University, other University staff and external clients and contractors in order to establish and maintain effective relationship to support the delivery of space management services to the University Under the broad direction of the Associate Director Projects, the is specifically responsible for: The provision of effective leadership, management and direction to the Space Management team to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of services.

Management may elect to conduct a formal risk assessment for any identified risks; the preferred method of risk assessment is the ANU Risk Management Framework The following risks are identified related to this process: Risk Likelihood Consequence Assessment Mitigation icad do not provide the level of service required for the ongoing support and upgrade of ARCHIBUS Likely Major Extreme - Data dump from ARCHIBUS can be recovered, although considerable resources required - Upgrade to ARCHIBUS will cost >$50K. - Need to ensure that ongoing support includes upgrades to the ARCHIBUS software Corporate knowledge and skills within the existing Space team are critical to Business as Usual Possible Major Moderate (6) - Succession plan to be reviewed six monthly Desk-based work environment, repetitive tasks could impact on staff Likely Moderate Moderate (6) - Repetitive strain injuries - Introducing a flexible work environment - Management of WHS risks Injury sustained from manual handling of heavy items Possible Moderate Moderate (4) - Update staff on the procedure relating to manual handling Page 8 of 8
