»Space Enhancement Request

Do you need to enhance your space or report a maintenance issue? If so, please submit a Space Enhancement Request or a Facilities Work Request.

Every request, whether big or small, is important to our team and plays a key role in supporting our campus community. To help us process and review your submission as efficiently as possible, requests are organized into two distinct categories. Please take a moment to read the category descriptions below carefully before submitting your form to ensure your request is routed to the correct team without delay.

Space Enhancement Request

A request to redesign existing space or change in use of space. Involves construction and/or permitting.

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 and programming intent of that space. In collaboration with Facilities Management, CP&D also ensures the proposed solutions meet university standards.

Facilities Work Request

A request for maintenance, repair or replacement in kind.

A Facilities Work Request is required for in-kind replacement of existing conditions, or design remain unchanged (e.g: repairing same color, replacing carpet in kind, signage replacement matching existing, HVAC or electrical issues, etc.).

Due to staff availability and product lead times, Space Enhancement Requests received after March 1st cannot be guaranteed to be completed before the end of the fiscal year. More substantial requests will require a longer lead time.


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.
