Design & Construction – Physical Planning, Development & Operations (original) (raw)

Design & Construction supports the UC Santa Cruz academic vision by managing and overseeing physical capital construction and major maintenance. The Design & Construction division ensures that these projects contribute to and support campus life by ensuring visually pleasing, functional, and sustainable facilities that are sensitive and responsive to the surrounding natural and social contexts.

How we collaborate with other campus departments to facilitate and realize their programmatic or operational needs when building or altering facilities:

• Setting a high standard of design excellence, promoting sustainable design and practices, and respecting UCSC’s unique natural environment and community needs.
• Managing capital and planning projects pursuant to UCSC’s Long-Range Development Plans within program, schedule, and budget constraints and in compliance with all applicable regulations, building/life safety codes, and public works contracting law.
• Coordinating campus development activities with the City and County of Santa Cruz and other agencies
