Good day, PNW Faculty and Staff.
This is a reminder that, in accordance with university policy, any physical construction, alteration, or improvement to university-owned, leased or occupied facilities—or any land improvements on university property—requires prior written consent from the Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration.
This includes all modifications to existing facilities, such as (but not limited to) equipment installation, repairs, or alterations involving:
- Building envelope and structural components
- Electrical systems and equipment
- Telecommunications wiring and equipment
- Lighting and security systems
- HVAC, plumbing and piping systems
- Walls, finishes, doors and partitions
- Furniture, casework, and hazardous material abatement
- Masonry work and grounds improvements
Before initiating any such projects, please obtain written approval as outlined in the policy:
Remodeling, Alterations, or Improvements to University Facilities (IV.B.4)
Adherence to this policy is essential to ensure safety, compliance and proper management of university assets.
Stephen R. Turner
Vice Chancellor of Finance & Administration
