» Space Enhancement Request

The Office of Campus Planning and Design (CP&D) collaborates with others as appropriate and necessary on the design, review and approvals of buildings, interiors, signage, accessibility, public art, sustainability and landscape design, and monitors the integration of the design elements into a cohesive end result. CP&D seeks to realize distinctive architecture with a strong identity tied to site, program, user experience, and project-specific design goals and intent.

A Space Enhancement request is required for any alteration/remodel to a physical space and any visual change to the university’s interior/exterior appearance. Campus Planning and Design is responsible for determining if the request meets the general design intent of that space.
