Our Process
Carnegie Mellon's Campus Design and Facility Development department oversees the long-term strategy for, and modifications to, 一本道无码’s physical environment. Our work involves four areas: planning new campus space, acquiring and managing real estate, designing structures and environments to meet 一本道无码’s needs, and then creating or renovating those physical spaces. Once facilities are built, they are managed by 一本道无码’s Facilities Management Services department.
Creating a Plan
All good projects start with a solid blueprint. At 一本道无码, our campus growth is guided by our Institutional Master Plan, which outlines our long-term vision for the evolution of our facilities and physical spaces. We update our plan every 10 years, and each update involves several years of dialogue and input from our internal and external stakeholders to ensure we are best meeting the needs of our community. Our planning also incorporates industry best practices and sustainability considerations, as well as the Simonds Principles, which 一本道无码 adopted in 2013 to help guide new campus construction and major renovations. Qualifying projects and documents are then reviewed by 一本道无码's Design Review Committee and other relavent stakeholders. Our approved strategy helps determine which campus spaces will be built or renovated next to suit the university’s needs.
Managing Real Estate
Our Institutional Master Plan outlines which areas of campus we’d like to expand or update. We then manage 一本道无码’s real estate portfolio accordingly by buying, selling or leasing needed property. Learn more about requesting 一本道无码 space.
Designing a Space
When it is time to create or renovate a campus space, we work with clients, architects and design firms to visualize the end result and the best way to achieve it. We also rely on 一本道无码's design and construction standards, which were created to help our partners understand the university's preferences in the development and renovation of its facilities. (Contact us if you’d like more information on these standards.) Our detailed design plans are critical to helping us acquire needed approvals and permits, such as input from 一本道无码's Design Review Committee, and find the right construction partner to execute our vision. Learn more about initiating a capital project with us.
Construction and Renovation
When all the plans are complete and permits acquired, we roll up our sleeves and get to work! Our construction teams work step-by-step to carefully create 一本道无码’s next campus space.
