Definition of science and engineering (S&E) research and research space
Please use these definitions when answering all questions in this survey.
Research is all research and experimental development (R&D) activities of your institution that are separately accounted
for. These R&D activities comprise creative and systematic work undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge—
including knowledge of humankind, culture and society—and to devise new applications of available knowledge. This
research can be funded by your own institution, the federal government, a state government, foundations, corporations, or
other sources.
Research space is the net assignable square feet of space in buildings within which research activities take place.
Research facilities are located within buildings. A building is a roofed structure for permanent or temporary shelter of
persons, animals, plants, materials, or equipment. Structures should be included if they are (1) attached to a foundation,
(2) roofed, (3) serviced by a utility, exclusive of lighting, and (4) a source of significant maintenance and repair activities.
Net assignable square feet (NASF) is the sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available to be
assigned to, an occupant for a specific use, such as research or instruction. NASF is measured from the inside faces of
walls.
Science and engineering (S&E) includes the following fields: agricultural sciences, animal sciences, plant sciences,
veterinary sciences, and related fields; biological and biomedical sciences; computer and information sciences;
engineering; geosciences, atmospheric sciences, and ocean sciences; health sciences; mathematics and statistics; natural
resources and conservation; physical sciences; psychology; social sciences; and other science and engineering fields. See
Question 2 on pages 5–8 for a list of the major disciplines included in each of these fields.

Question 8: Repairs and renovations started in FY 2022 and FY 2023
8. Please provide the completion costs for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that started during your
FY 2022 or FY 2023. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E. Include only projects whose
prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E listed below. For multi-year
projects, report the entire completion cost even if some work will occur in future years.
Start date is the date on which the physical work of the repairs or renovations actually began.
Repairs and renovations are activities such as fixing up facilities in deteriorated condition, capital improvements
on facilities, conversion of facilities, and the building out of shell space. Include any repairs or renovations to
existing space that are performed in combination with new construction projects. Do not report building additions
since they are reported in this survey under new construction.
Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either
in the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation.
If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in
order to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000
project, do not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same
costs, do not report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.
If research facilities are also used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the costs for the
fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more. For example, if a facility is used for S&E research
one-fourth of the time and for instruction the rest of the time, report one-fourth of the completion costs for S&E
research facilities.

Question 10: New construction started in FY 2022 and FY 2023
10. Please provide the total number of new construction projects that included S&E research facilities that started during
your FY 2022 or FY 2023. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at
least one field of S&E. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of S&E.
New construction is the construction of a new building or additions to an existing building.
Research facilities are defined on pages 2–3 of the survey questionnaire.
Project start date is defined as the first placement of permanent construction of a building or addition on site, such as
the pouring of a slab or footing, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of
excavation. When determining project start date, please exclude planning, demolition, or other site preparation work.
Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in
the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation. Include such costs whether they occur before or after the
project start date.
If facilities are shared for research and nonresearch activities, report only projects with completion costs of
$250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E research. For example, if a $300,000 project involves space used for
research only one-fourth of the time, this project of $75,000 for the research facilities should not be reported.
If facilities are shared by two or more fields of S&E, report the new construction project only if at least one field
of S&E research has completion costs of $250,000 or more. For example, if two fields share the costs equally for a
research project costing $400,000, neither field’s share of $200,000 meets the cost minimum.

For the portion of this project used for S&E research facilities, what are (1) the completion costs, and
(2) the net assignable square feet, for each field listed below? For multi-year projects, report costs and
NASF expected when the project is completed.
Report only fields with costs of $250,000 or more for research facilities.
If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to
each field in order to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the
costs for a $300,000 project, do not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will
have two fields with the same costs, do not report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.
If research facilities are also used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the
cost and net assignable square feet for the fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more.
For example, if a facility will be used for S&E research one-fourth of the time and for instruction the rest
of the time, report one-fourth of the completion costs for S&E research facilities.
For Field of S&E definitions, see Question 2 on pages 5–8.

Question 12: Planned repairs and renovations to start in FY 2024 and FY 2025
12. Please provide the estimated completion costs planned for repair and renovation of S&E research facilities that are
funded and scheduled to start in your FY 2024 or FY 2025. Include research animal space in the relevant fields of
S&E. Include only projects whose prorated cost was estimated to be $250,000 or more for at least one field of S&E
listed below. For multi-year projects, report the entire completion cost even if some work will occur in future
years.
Start date is the date on which the physical work of the repairs or renovations is scheduled to begin.
Repairs and renovations are activities such as fixing up facilities in deteriorated condition, capital improvements on
facilities, conversion of facilities, and the building out of shell space. Include any repairs or renovations to existing
space that are performed in combination with new construction projects. Do not report building additions since they
are reported in this survey under new construction.
Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in
the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation.
If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in order
to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000 project, do
not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same costs, do not
report either field’s portion, which is $200,000 each.
If research facilities will also be used for nonresearch activities, report the S&E research portion of the costs for the
fields listed below if the research portion is $250,000 or more. For example, if a facility will be used for S&E research
one-fourth of the time and for instruction the rest of the time, report one-fourth of the completion costs for S&E

listed below. For multi-year projects, report the entire completion cost even if some work will occur in future years.
Project start date is defined as the first placement of permanent construction of a building or addition on site, such as
the pouring of a slab or footing, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of
excavation. When determining project start date, please exclude planning, demolition, or other site preparation work.
New construction is the construction of a new building or additions to an existing building.
Completion costs include planning, site preparation, construction, fixed equipment, nonfixed equipment that costs
$1 million or more, and building infrastructure such as plumbing, lighting, air exchange, and safety systems either in
the building or within 5 feet of the building foundation. Include such costs whether they occur before or after the
project start date.
If research facilities are shared by two or more fields, allocate the appropriate share of the costs to each field in order
to determine which fields to report. For example, if a field will have one-fourth of the costs for a $300,000 project, do
not report that field’s share, which is $75,000. If a $400,000 project will have two fields with the same costs, do not
