  1. Campus Planning oversees the broad application of the regulatory requirements for development on campus.  The regulatory requirements include, but are not limited to, City of Corvallis Land Development Code, OSU Campus Master Plan, and Federal and State requirements for Historic Resources.
  2. The Campus Planning Committee makes a recommendation to the Vice President of Finance and Administration.  The purview of the Campus Planning Committee includes changes to the exterior of campus grounds and facilities, as well as the siting of new buildings and facilities.
  3. Space Planning is done in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth by the University Space Committee, as approved by the Provost and Executive Vice President. Facilities Services oversees the reassignment of space and safeguards the policies and procedures for space planning. All space requests are processed using the Request for Space Form. http://oregonstate.edu/facilities/cpd/campusplanning/forms.
  4. Planning services are provided by the Campus Planning Department.  Contact the Facilities Services Work Coordination Center at 541-737-2969 for information.

2.   Construction

  1. Construction projects are managed by Facilities Services Design and Construction staff or Campus Operations staff depending on the scope of the project.  In general, Capital Construction projects, or projects requiring the services of two or more trades/contractors, are managed by the Design and Construction staff.  Projects requiring the service of a single trade are typically managed by a Campus Operations supervisor.  Contact the Facilities Services Work Coordination Center at 541-737-2969 for more information.
  2. The Oregon State University Development Surcharge requires that all capital construction projects and major renovation projects be subject to an Oregon State University Surcharge.  The revenue generated from the surcharge is used to improve campus utility infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and other necessary campus assets.  Refer to the Oregon State University Surcharge matrix to review fee schedule, https://sharepoint.oregonstate.edu/sites/Facilities/FSpublish/Finpub/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fsites%2fFacilities%2fFSpublish%2fFinpub%2fCapital%20Construction&FolderCTID=&View=%7b19A51641%2dA6D9%2d43F2%2d994E%2d7F50C21EF1FF%7d.
