Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Services

The Facilities and Planning - Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Services (AECS) is responsible for modifications to existing buildings including structural, mechanical, electrical and architectural systems.

If you are contemplating remodeling or modifying a campus facility, please call us to review your needs. We will help direct you to the most effective solution that complies with University standards.

AECS is also responsible for the planning, execution and management of all capital construction projects and improvements on the campus that have a broad range in size and scope. Basic cartography and demographic study also fall within the realm of AECS. We keep campus and University District maps current; anticipate growth needs spurred on by increasing student enrollment and utilization of campus facilities.

We coordinate and develop the University capital budget requests. Finally, we manage the University's archive of building drawings, some of which date back to the late 1800's: invaluable historical records and objects of beauty, as well as living tools for the contemporary architect.
