Description of Request

Submitted By: Kirk Lubick, Director of Research Integrity & Compliance

Research Integrity and Compliance (RIC), formerly named the Office of Research Compliance (ORC), is in the process of hiring two new positions: a Research Security Officer and a Service Center Director. To accommodate these hires, RIC requires two additional offices. Lewis Hall 104A and 104B have been identified as suitable spaces due to their proximity to RIC's current location. These offices are currently vacant and are being used by the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology for storage. Department Head Jovanka Voyich has agreed to repurposing these spaces for RIC, with the stored materials being relocated to the basement of Lewis Hall. This arrangement will provide the necessary office space for the new hires without disrupting current operations.

Resolution

Date: December 6, 2024

Space Management Committee has approved the allocation of additional space in Lewis Hall 104A & 104B for use by RIC.
