Space Management Tools and Services

UC San Diego uses the Tririga Integrated Workplace Management System to help leadership make strategic facilities and real estate decisions that best serve the university and its constituents.

All campus space managers and their designated staff are expected to support biannual space information reviews and keep occupancy, vacancy and department use information accurate.

Request Updates and Corrections

Some space management information is not editable by users in FIM/Tririga and requires our assistance.

Construction and Renovation Plans

Until the OnBase document repository is available (expected winter 2024), find vector plans and project PDFs in the legacy Facilities Information System. The system is not part of the campus SSO, but a password is required.

Space Management Roadmap (Tririga)

New developments – concurrent with the advance notice for the Fall 2022 Space Information Review

  • Locate application – space managers can quickly and easily refer to floor plans and people’s locations

Possible future enhancements include:

  • Facilities Activity Hub
  • Key management
  • Provisioning (move management support)
  • Mapping and GIS integration
  • Making research infrastructure visible in rooms (sinks, fume hoods, gas, hot/chilled water, etc.)

Future employee work location process improvement: To streamline the collection of employee work locations, a group of campus and health leaders are working on a new employee process and solution powered by Tririga that will change how we collect this information in the future. This process will support HR compliance processes and space planning requirements. The target release is spring 2023.
