Funding for Small Academic Renovation Projects
Requests to Renovate Academic Space
Requests to renovate academic space with a total project cost between $500K and $3M are eligible for Provost’s Office funding at 80% of the total project cost. If the provost approves funding for the project, the department will be responsible for funding the remaining 20%. If the project comes in below the total project cost, funds will first be returned to the department, up to their 20% contribution.
Please submit requests by March 6th to be considered for funding in the next fiscal year.
Step 1: Submit an online form
The Provost’s Office has developed an online form to gather information on:
- Project details and scope of work
- How the project will advance the mission of the college/school/department
- Potential cost of the project
The project must be endorsed by the appropriate dean.
Step 2: Review by the Provost’s Office
The request will be reviewed with the following considerations:
- Academic need – including faculty recruitment and retention initiatives
- Impact on overall campus space utilization including how this project or scope of work fits in with the university’s overall space planning and sequencing of renovations on campus
Step 3: Project approval
If the project is approved, the Provost’s Office project manager, in collaboration with the requesting unit, will initiate a request to PMCS to obtain a preliminary cost estimate. The Provost’s Office project manager will be the primary point-of-contact for PMCS and will handle coordination with the department.
