To ensure that the overall appearance and long-term needs of the campus are taken into consideration when making site selections for, or modifications to, physical facilities; to ensure that such modifications meet applicable standards and enhance and support the appearance of the University of Illinois and units on the Urbana-Champaign campus.
Projects covered by this policy include but are not limited to the following:
This policy is implemented under the authority of the Executive Director of Facilities & Services.
Any project involving construction, major alterations, or demolition of buildings or grounds must be approved by the Executive Director of Facilities & Services prior to detailed planning and construction. Such approval is required regardless of the source and amount of funding involved. Other approvals by the University Board of Trustees and/or State Board of Higher Education may also be required.
Units should submit a formal, written request to Facility Management and Scheduling that includes a general description of the project, a description of the site criteria and/or buildings involved, a project timetable, funding information, available drawings/sketches, and a justification for the project.
Reviews will normally involve two steps.
The procedures described above do not imply that professional service or advice from campus and/or University units should not be sought as a project is being developed. Such technical service is one of the primary functions of these administrative units, and their involvement during the development stage is encouraged.
