Facilities Management vs. Campus Planning
It’s important to understand the distinction between a maintenance request and a project request.

Campus Planning
Requests involving changes or improvements to physical spaces fall under Campus Planning and must be submitted as Project Requests.
What Is a Project Request?
A Project Request is required for anything beyond regular maintenance or replacement. These projects often require design, budgeting, scheduling, and coordination.
Examples include:
- Renovating or reconfiguring a room for new use
- Installing new equipment requiring added infrastructure
- Upgrading finishes like flooring or lighting beyond normal lifecycle replacement
- Enhancing rooms for accessibility or new code requirements
- Adding building systems (e.g., air conditioning to unconditioned spaces)
