The distribution of spaces is a usual real problem presented when we have to assign simultaneously different sets of spaces (offices, rooms, halls, etc.). These spaces are distributed in buildings and/or floors and have to be assigned among several groups of people. The aim is to minimize the total distance among the spaces assigned to each group and its head office. This situation drives us to a quadratic combinatorial problem, so difficult to solve with exact methods. This is the reason to propose a metaheuristic method to solve it, a Tabu Search algorithm with two types of movements: the swapping of two offices and further assignment of head offices. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated on a problem related with the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville (Spain).
