Planning and Project Management

How do I know whether to contact PPM or another Facilities Department for information or assistance?

PPM coordinates construction related projects. River Campus or Medical Center Facilities will coordinates your building maintenance and repair needs. The offices of PPM (MC at 5-0717, or RC at 5-4887) will offer you direction and guidance should you be unsure of which office to contact.

What is a design review?

Design reviews are meetings in which PPM reviews and explains projects to other University departments involved in a renovation project. These meetings allow the client to hear and understand the needs, recommendations, and/or requirements of other departments regarding the proposed project.

Can I use the same Project Manager (PM) or Planner that I have worked with in the past?

PPM's workload dictates what projects a PM or Planner receives. PPM does take into consideration and tries to maintain the working relationship that may have been developed between a particular PM or Planner and client.

PPM has a total of 18 staff members (2 MC Planners, 4 MC and 3 RC Project Managers, 3 MC and 1 RC Project Coordinators, 3 Support Staff, and 1 MC and 1 RC Director) that provide assistance to both the River Campus and Medical Center.

How do I order new furniture?
