Alteration and renovation of University facilities must be planned with proper attention to the following:

  2. All requests must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate building coordinator, department head, dean, and vice chancellor before submission to Facilities Management.
  3. Alterations or renovations, which will change either the physical configuration or present utilization of space, must be reviewed and approved by the Director of University Planning before submission to Facilities Management.
  4. Alterations which will require changes to the voice, video, or data networks must be coordinated with the Chief Information Officer before submission to Facilities Management.
  5. When scheduling conflicts require that priorities be assigned among alteration and renovation projects, the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance will consult with the parties affected and recommend to the Chancellor a schedule for accomplishing the various projects.
  6. Provisions for meeting the budget requirements of alteration and renovation projects must be made by the requesting department prior to submission of a work request to Facilities Management. Budget responsibility for maintenance and repair work rests with Facilities Management.
