Facilities Inventory

The Facilities Inventory System is a module within Banner that is used to record information about Georgia Southern University buildings, the space within those buildings, and how that space is being used. The maintenance of this information is important to Georgia Southern and the University System of Georgia as a whole to allow for the effective management of all physical facilities.
