Facility and assets management has to become a crucial practice in the era of income generation in an education institution, the need to provide better service to the client/student or public as well as minimizing the maintenance cost has become a challenge to the institution. The aim of this paper is to develop a web GIS to store, manage, and manipulate the data in order to maximize the use of space and assets as well as making sure the assets is in good condition. Also, to determine the higher value assets to optimize its use for income generation. The methodology of this study is asset and space data acquisition to store in the GIS database and integrate with another native database (Structured Query Language-SQL) to ensure the efficiencies of data updates. The findings of this study focusing on the capabilities of the GIS to manage, store and manipulate as well as display all the online data with such query, searching and analysis widget in the application. In conclusion, asset and space management in university with the modules included in the application has become useful for personnel and assets officials to query, searching and make analysis for preliminary planning and decision making.
