Facilities Projects Support

Updated November 9, 2021

The Facilities Projects Support Program provides review, consultation and testing for construction projects impacting facilities occupied by UW personnel or students.

EH&S participates by providing plan review during the design phase, consultation and submittal review during design and construction and testing of select systems near the end of construction. The level of EH&S participation depends on the scope of the project and the opportunities and needs of the project management team for owned and leased facilities. EH&S collaborates with UW Project Delivery Group and their consultants, UW Facilities, and others involved in capital development and minor alterations.

Any project with potential to impact the safety of UW occupants or maintenance personnel should include EH&S as part of the project team.
