EDUCATIONAL PLANT SURVEY

---

The Educational Plant Survey process is required by Florida Statutes of all public educational entities. For the State University System it is a requirement that at a minimum of every five (5) years, each university report on the use of its existing facilities and project its future facility needs five (5) years out. This projection is based on data on existing facilities and a projection of future needs based on anticipated university growth. The results are published in a document which is the Educational Plant Survey Report. This report is appproved by the university's Board of Trustees prior to being transmitted to the Board of Governors for their approval. The following are the various sections of Florida State University's 2008 Educational Plant Survey Report:
