building space allocation and utilization standards for
application on general campuses and obtaining acceptance from
University and state agencies concerned.

Senior Educational Facility Planner
Under general direction, incumbents assist a campus or University-wide
administrator in planning, organizing, supervising, and/or performing the
work of a professional staff engaged in the building space planning,
programming, and funding aspects of the University's construction program;

authority in matters related to building space planning, programming,
funding, and utilization; and carry major responsibility for University
capital outlay programs in relationships with University and governmental
committees and staff members, as a senior assistant to the administrative
officer in charge.
Senior level assignments typically carry responsibility for the supervision of
Senior Facility Requirements Analysts and/or Facility Requirements Analysts.
Non-supervisory assignments at the senior level are reserved for technical
specialists, who are widely recognized and consulted by University staff
members for their expert knowledge of educational facilities planning,
programming, and utilization.
Examples of assignments allocated to this level of difficulty and
responsibility are:
Supervisor of a professional staff engaged in the building space
planning, programming, and funding aspects of the campus physical

Educational Facility Planner
Under direction, incumbents assist a campus or University-wide administrator
engaged in the building space planning, programming, and funding aspects of
the University's construction program; represent the officer to whom they are
responsible at meetings and conferences involving campus, University, state
and federal levels of authority in matters related to building space planning,
programming, funding and utilization; and carry major responsibility for
University governmental committees and staff members, as a senior assistant
to the administrative officer in charge.
Assignments at this level typically do not carry responsibility for
supervision of other professional staff members. In a campus organization,
this level is used where the volume and complexity of the capital outlay
program is such that one position of Education Facility Planner meets the
campus needs. It may also be used as a supervisory class in a campus or
University-wide organizational unit where the incumbent is expected to
progress to Senior Educational Facility Planner, after having demonstrated
the ability to carry the responsibilities identified with the senior level.

responsibility are:

planning, programming, and funding aspects of the campus
