Office of the University Architect
Intro & Menu
Our mission is to plan, design and construct high quality facilities that support the work of our faculty, students and staff, using the most integrated, efficient, cost effective and sustainable means available; and to maintain a highly trained staff of professionals dedicated to achieving routine excellence in support of the university community.
Featured Project - Ewell Hall
Built in 1926, Ewell Hall is shared by several academic units and administrative offices in Arts and Sciences. The renovations will update life safety systems, ensure full accessibility, replace building systems which have exceeded life expectancies, and reconfigure the interior to suit future use by Health Sciences, while also improving circulation by connecting two structurally separated areas. The renovation will provide critical space for seminar and classroom space, teaching laboratories, core facilities, collaborative workspace, shared equipment room, and shared laboratory storage.
Current Projects
Â鶹Æƽâ°æ continues to progress on improvements that will benefit campus community members for decades to come, and transform facilities for students, staff, faculty and visitors. The portfolio tiles below link to details and images for capital projects that are currently in design or under construction.
Planning, Design & Construction Resources
Planning, design and construction efforts at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ are guided by a set of documents, policies and guidelines that provide a framework for these endeavors. These include capital planning initiatives and master planning documents, a set of technical standards and the university's Design and Construction Manual.
Business Affairs and OUA collaborates with various agencies across the Commonwealth for the development of projects on campus. The authority having jurisdiction for code and permit-related items is the Division of Engineering & Buildings.
