 The Facilities Workgroup processes requests & decisions about spaces that are "//uncaptained//", meaning they don't have an Area Captain. The volunteer Area Captains have domain over their area.  Decisions between Area Captains can be handled by affected Area Captains.  An example would be moving the border between the machine shop & wood shop.  Those two Area Captains can consider, undertake, decide, and execute such a decision themselves. Though not necessary, involving (or at least, notifying ahead of time) the President and/or the rest of the Officers' Corps would be good form. The Facilities Workgroup processes requests & decisions about spaces that are "//uncaptained//", meaning they don't have an Area Captain.
