The basic mission of the Architecture & Engineering Department of the Physical Plant Division is to provide quality customer service.

The Department also provides engineering and architectural services for smaller projects in support of the operations of the University. This Department has a normal volume of approximately 180 projects valued at $35 to $40 million dollars on an ongoing basis. The staff serves either as in-house architects or engineers, or as the University's Project Managers for work assigned to outside consultants.
Additionally, the Department is responsible for maintaining University property records, record drawings of as-built conditions and records of all E & G buildings and utilities, as well as permits from various governmental agencies.
