inventory information. <strong>The</strong> Office of the Vice President for Health Sciences provides information on
MCV Campus course <strong>and</strong> room assignments. From this analysis, IRE prepares a data file of courses <strong>and</strong>
room assignments at VCU, excluding professional degree program instruction delivered in the schools of
Medicine <strong>and</strong> Dentistry, that is provided to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) for
their statewide assessment of classroom <strong>and</strong> class labs utilization. <strong>The</strong> University reports the results of
the utilization analysis as part of the annual statewide Report on Institutional Effectiveness (ROIE). IRE
also publishes the Classroom Use on the Academic Campus report that shows the details of the class
scheduling patterns of the Academic Campus' most heavily utilized classrooms. Instructional classroom
<strong>and</strong> laboratory space data for first professional degree programs in Medicine <strong>and</strong> Dentistry are
maintained by the respective schools, in coordination with the Office of the Vice President for Health
Sciences, <strong>and</strong> reported to its accrediting agencies <strong>and</strong> professional organizations as required.
When decisions must be made concerning utilization, renovation or construction of space that crosses
organizational boundaries, the vice-presidents meet to discuss the issues <strong>and</strong> develop a
recommendation to the President. <strong>The</strong> vice-presidents also make recommendations related to the
Master Site Plan <strong>and</strong> capital outlay priorities.
