The Facilities Master Plan, Building Conditions Assessment Survey, and strategic priorities form the basis for decisions about capital projects on our campus. In consultation with administration and the State University Construction Fund (SUCF), the Facilities Planning and Design and Construction departments develop the scope and scheduling of capital projects for a five-year period. An annual work plan is then developed. The pace of work is determined by many factors, including the amount of state funding allocated, the availability of surge space, Buffalo State's academic calendar and staffing. To the greatest extent possible, projects are planned and executed in ways that minimize construction noise and other disruptions for our students. Large planning, design, and construction projects are described on this website as project profiles.
Sometimes, campus departments request smaller renovation projects. These requests are typically made by department heads, deans, or vice presidents, depending on the scope and anticipated cost of the work.
