Facilities Reactivation
34. Facility Restart Date (Record Reactivation Date):- The date when a formerly obsoleted facility becomes active again. Circumstances where this happens:
- A leased facility where all of the CU occupants had vacated (the facility went to obsolete) and now it is being leased again. In this case the obsoletion notes would include the start and end dates of the former occupancy, and start occupancy date would be updated for the new tenants.
- Examples: re-leasing (4759), or re-purchase (4052), re-acquisition (2534C), or re-purposing building fragments leftover from demolition (2608), or obsoleted in error (2063), or sold the building but then re-occupied (2113).
- A construction trailer that was sold or terminated and then put back into service.
- Comments/remarks about how a facility made the transition from obsolete to being put back into service.
- This link runs a search and returns notes of all types on the facility.

- Link returns the ‘Room Search’ page pre-populated with the facility code.
Organizational Information:
40. Approving Organization:- Generally this is the organization responsible for final sign off on the paperwork submitted to assign a new facility code.
- This does not imply ownership of the building; it is simply to track the facility code assignment paperwork in the event there are future questions.
- Facilities Inventory can assist in cases where the code is being assigned for a non-academic building or a shared academic building, and the responsible organization is not clear.
42. Asset Assignment:
- See the Asset Assignment Chart.
- Briefly describe the financial arrangements/agreements connected with the purchase or construction of the facility.
- If available, provide a PAR, account, SUCF project number or other documentation supporting the Cornell or State funding source.
45. Financial Responsibility: (Maintenance & Operations) This section is currently under review and possible revision. Reflects financial responsibility for maintenance and operations.
- Contract College space administrators should consult with Facilities Inventory for assistance.

- For R: source of funds may include state funds, indirect cost recovery, or other non-state funds on behalf of all contract colleges
- For B: state and endowed financial responsibility for maintenance and operations, e.g., Biotech Building

Start up dates:
47. Acquisition Date:- Estimated acquisition date or:
- Date of building purchase or university takes possession.
- Generally, applies to when a lease is occupied
- Except for buildings with no dates at all prior to ~2011, this field may carry a 1985 date which was the date the original inventory mainframe system was started.
- WCM building dates all go in this field with the first date of the reporting cycle of the fiscal year (unless an actual occupancy or purchase date is provided {4649A}).
- Date of temporary or final certificate of occupancy. In ~2011 this field may have also been populated with the best guess based on any available records, or the date held by SUNY.
- In the absence of those records it is the date that is best guess on record from a reasonably authoritative source.

Statewide Fixed Asset Accounting System (SFAAS) Coding |
|||
Codes, Definitions and Cornell Categories |
|||
As of 1/26/17; mlc |
|||
The State University Construction Fund (SUCF) requires Cornell to provide certain data elements during an annual submission process of room and facility data for Contract College occupied space. One of the fields that Cornell submits is identified as Statewide Fixed Asset Accounting System (SFAAS) Coding. SUCF identifies this field as “A code used in the Statewide Fixed Asset Accounting system to identify the type of building.” SUCF provides valid entries by code and code name.
Cornell has chosen to apply this SFAAS coding to all non-Weill Cornell Medicine facilities, not just Contract College-occupied buildings, in order to provide a consistent system of identifying building types. In order to aid in the consistent application of these codes, Cornell developed definitions and Cornell-specific examples, as identified in the following table.
Further, Cornell has decided to use the SFAAS codes to calculate several values, including one required for an IRS Form 990. In order to simplify the Form 990 required calculations, Cornell mapped each of the SFAAS codes to a high-level type limited to Industrial, Barn, Office, Retail, and Housing. Cornell is identifying these high-level types as Form 990 Categories.
The Space Management Program Manager is responsible for reviewing and updating the table based on changes requested by SUCF or as required to support Cornell analysis and reporting.
