Campus and Building Plans
The Data and Documentation staff is responsible for maintaining and updating critical campus and building information, including accurate square footage data for rooms and floors. This team comprises two distinct groups: the Facilities Resource Center and Space Management.
All Penn-owned or occupied buildings have a unique, four-digit building code that remains constant. This standardized coding system ensures consistent reference to specific buildings, regardless of potential name changes. By utilizing these building codes, users can accurately identify and discuss various locations within the University.

Facilities Resource Center
The Facilities Resource Center, located at 3101 Walnut Street, houses comprehensive documentation of the University of Pennsylvania's current and historic buildings and properties. The Center's collection includes architectural drawings, studies, electronic files (CAD), operations and maintenance manuals, physical models, photographs, and slides. To schedule a visit, please contact James Rauer.
Digital copies of drawings (TIF and PDF) are accessible through the Falcon drawing website. Access to the Falcon website is restricted to individuals with a Pennkey and a completed Falcon Access Request Form. External access is granted solely to contactors with pre-approved documentation needs.
Space Management
Space Management team collaborates with Schools and Centers to develop and maintain accurate space plans and reports. These documents are generated based on detailed building measurements and project information provided by the Facilities Resource Center. The team manages floor plans and space data for all University of Pennsylvania-owned and leased buildings. For inquiries regarding space management, please contact Cheryl Smith.
Access to Penn's space management application is restricted to the Penn community and requires a PennKey. To access Penn's space data warehouse, users must submit a Space @ Penn Data Access Form, obtain authorization for the space data application by completing the Space @ Penn Web Updater form, and complete the required training.
