Academic or administrative units can request projects either using the faxable form or our on-line request form. Both can be found under the Guidelines.

Guidelines:

Most requests are to renovate, reconfigure or refurbish existing space, space that usually is within area currently used by the user group. In some cases a request will necessitate new space, either in the form of new construction or space not currently in use by the department.  It is important for Facilities to understand this aspect of your request.   The following general information should be provided for any project request. An asterisk (*) indicates that the field is required.

• * Subject: Insert building name and room number, or area of building affected by the proposed work. 
• * Description: A short description of the desired work; for example: Paint and re-carpet space, build new pantry with sink in existing closet.  Or Renovate existing lab for Professor Smith.   Try to be as descriptive as possible, so we get a good sense of the magnitude of the work.
