Faculty & Staff

University of Illinois construction projects typically begin with an expressed need or desire from a campus unit or department, or occasionally from a donor. The Campus Construction Unit on your campus (UIUC: Facilities & Services, UIC: Capital Programs and UIS: Facilities & Services) will help define the project, determine costs and schedule and hire the professionals needed for design and construction. Building a new facility or remodeling an existing, regardless of size, requires collaboration for a successful result.
