| General Description: | Code indicating to which CPEC (California Postsecondary Education Commission) research station size category an instructional department is assigned. |
| Code Interpretation: |
'A' - Research Size A 'B' - Research Size B 'C' - Research Size C 'D' - Research Size D 'E' - Research Size E 'F' - Research Size F See attached Research Station Size definitions for complete descriptions. |
| Comments: | The CPEC standards for research space are based on six station size categories defined by type of space, rather than based on discipline names. For each size category a space factor is provided per faculty FTE, graduate student headcount, and postdoctoral fellow. The allowance for research space is intended to cover departmental research space needs ranging from graduate student offices to team laboratories to solo studios and their related support space. These standards do not cover space for Organized Research Units or special support facilities such as vivaria and greenhouses. Research station space size categories must be approved by the Office of the President. |
