SPMC Detailed Scope of Work

The SPMC will consider for approval the following types of projects:

  • All projects with a Total Project Cost (TPC) that exceeds $5,000 and that require UTM central funding (including furniture and equipment)
  • All projects with TPC that exceeds $50,000 and do not require UTM central funding (funded by division, research grants, etc).
  • All proposals for space reallocation and requests for new space
  • All proposals for space development which will significantly alter, directly or cumulatively, the appearance or use of spaces, buildings, grounds or facilities of U of T Mississauga (both interior and exterior)
  • All proposals for temporary and permanent installation of large scale banners, posters, seasonal landscaping, bulletin boards and display cases regardless of the source of funding
  • Proposals for all activities, temporary or permanent, that will affect the appearance, maintenance or operation of facilities at U of T Mississauga regardless of the source of funding
  • All projects that affect the exterior of buildings, and appearance of all public interior spaces, regardless of the source of funding.

Projects which are required to meet legislative requirements (including changes in building codes, accessibility and health & safety standards), and require UTM central funding will be formulated as SPMC projects and presented to the committee.

Projects that do not require approval of SPMC but must be reported once per year (typically in October) include the following:

  • Projects involving facilities renewal, repairs or maintenance
  • Projects for ancillary units which only affect space that has been assigned to them and only if UTM central funding is not required
  • Projects for student services units and student organizations which only affect the space that has been assigned to them and only if UTM central funding is not required
  • Projects which are required to meet legislative requirements include changes in building codes/accessibility and health/safety standards, and do not require UTM central funding.
