Campus construction projects are accomplished in one of three ways:
• A Public Works contract administered by Facilities Planning
• A non-maintenance construction project built by Facility Services and charged back to the requesting department
• A building permit issued to departments and auxiliaries who wish to undertake projects with their own resources

Process Summary for Building Permits
• Requester submits a project (service) request to Facility Services (FS), who forwards a building permit application to the requester.
• Applicant returns the completed application, along with plans and drawings
• FS reviews information and sends Building Permit Request Confirmation to applicant
• Once all reviews are completed, FS determines whether or not to issue the building permit. If the permit is issued-all conditions, if any-are noted and attached to the permit (See Building Permit )
