Engineering Services

Engineering Services provides high-quality master planning, designing, and construction services to Michigan Tech—we meet the project’s scope, schedule, and budget. The department acts as a steward for the University. It plans, designs, and constructs fixed assets, from new and existing buildings, furnishings and equipment to utility infrastructure.

Our engineers:

Design, engineer, do cost estimates, and are responsible for construction of all new and remodeling projects on campus
Write building project programs
Prepare the capital outlay budget
Manage design contracts with architects and engineers, and coordinate design with facility users
Work with the campus community on facility concerns and improvements
Manage construction contracts with all building contractors and construction managers

Capital Outlay Documents

Each year the University submits a five-year capital outlay plan to the State of Michigan.

Use and Finance Reports

Bi-annual use and finance reports include all self-funded construction projects, including land or property acquisitions, remodeling and additions, maintenance projects, roads, landscaping, equipment, telecommunications, utilities, and parking lots and structures costing more than $1 million, as well as projects previously reported whose project cost has changed.

Campus Master Planning Reports

When our on-campus customers contact us to build a project, their focus, understandably, is on that project. Our focus is broad. We try to see each building project within the context of overall campus development.

Our campus plan, adopted in 1966, was supplemented in 1993, 1999, and 2006. We use it, and other sound planning principles, to create facilities that fulfill immediate needs, fit the aesthetic and historical context of our campus, have a useful life for decades, and serve future users whose needs have not yet been articulated.
