Project Requests
If you wish to remodel or change the use of existing space or plan a new facility, the process begins by contacting your Facilities Engineer who will
- Provide a safety and code review
- Determine the scope of work (see Capital Projects below)
- Provide schematic design and estimate project costs
All projects must have approval from your department head and executive team to proceed.
Capital Projects
All projects (>$50,000) anticipated in the next five fiscal years must be submitted for consideration by first using the Preliminary Estimate Request Form. Completion of this step will place the project on the Unapproved Capital Project List.
To get onto the Approved Capital Projects List, one must fill out the Capital Project Approval Form which identifies funding, receives prioritization and approval from the Executive Team and is signed by the President.
Capital Outlay Requests
Each year the University submits a Capital Outlay Project Request and Five Year Comprehensive Master Plan to the State of Michigan.
