Trepanier gave an update on the current status of office space for Residents and desks for graduate students and postdocs. Space is currently available. 9. Suresh gave an update on the current status of freezers. There is a waiting list for freezer footprints in public space in the SVM and demand will grow with new faculty hires. With several freezer failures there is limited space available in the back-up freezers in the SVM at the present time. There is no space in the back-up freezer in AHABS. Suresh will encourage users of back-up space to relocate their samples as soon as possible. 10. The committee discussed factors that are used currently in allocating research space: funding funding history research productivity training environment unique needs etc. With increased pressure on space other factors may also need to be taken into consideration: overheads generated salary contributions fee-for-service research clinical trials etc. The committee will refer this issue to the APC and AAC for a broader discussion.
