Overview
Supporting blended facilities reporting and analysis, the Facilities Activity Hub (FacAH) is a central repository for UC San Diego enterprise system data as it relates to all facilities activity across relevant systems.
This hub contains data from current and future facilities systems, including space, personnel assignments and department allocation information. Allocation pattern analysis, space planning and forecast reporting, multi-department analysis and person assigned spaces data is available using the Cognos and Tableau visualization tools. Blending the facilities data from FacAH with other Activity Hubs is supported in Cognos.

FACAH Basics
What is a space?
A sapce can mean a variety of things at UCSD: room, hallway, sections of a room like cubes or desks, closet, restroom.
Spaces are organized into a location hierarchy along the lines of Campus > Neighborhood > Building > Floor > Space > Allocations
Allocations refers to a space’s relationship with departments and clusters. A Space can have multiple allocations to different departments and clusters at the same time.
Additionally, a space can have different types of assigned occupants. Not all spaces have occupants.
Allocated vs Assigned
Allocated refers to a space’s relationship with departments and clusters.
Assignments refer to people / headcount within a space.
Occupancy
Occupancy is the count of persons assigned to a space. Those people may or may not work in that space every day of the week. Therefore, the number of assigned people in a space may exceed the number of seats within a space.
Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3 | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Occupancy (assigned) | 4 | 3 | 6 | |
Seats | 4 | 4 | 4 | |
Space Sq Ft | 100 | 100 | 1 | |
Space Occupant Sq Ft Sq Ft / Occupancy (assigned) | .25 | .3333 | .16666 | Will change with assignments, could change daily |
