Campus Safety and Community Services | SHARP Shared Service Costs

Costs associated with the Campus Services bin have been divided into 2 main bins with sub-bins.

Utilities and Facilities Maintenance Costs

Costs under this bin are for Utilities (heating, cooling, electricity and water), Deferred Maintenance, Building Maintenance, Fire Inspection, Work Control Centre, Contract Administration, Stores, Custodial, Insurance and Administrative Overhead.

This space is available exclusively for the use of a Faculty/Ancillary/Shared Service unit. The Faculty, Ancillary unit or Shared Service unit that occupies this type of space is attributed all the Utilities and Facility Maintenance costs associated with the space.

COST DRIVER

Net Assignable Square Metres (NASM)

METHODOLOGY

Costs are attributed based on the NASM occupied by Faculty, Ancillary unit or Shared Service unit.

This is space that cannot be directly attributed to an individual Faculty, Ancillary unit or Shared Service unit. Such space provides service across the University and includes foyers, hallways, washrooms, electrical rooms, etc.

COST DRIVER

Population FTEs (students, faculty and staff)

METHODOLOGY

Costs are attributed to revenue generating units based on share of population FTEs.

The Teaching Space cost sub-bin captures the costs related to teaching space.

COST DRIVER

The Teaching Space sub-bin has two cost drivers:

NASM of space utilized
Length of time space is utilized

METHODOLOGY

Classrooms are grouped into categories based on number of seats, and the Teaching space NASM is calculated based on these classroom categories. The NASM is further adjusted to take into account the amount of time this space is utilized.
