Historical Note
Central Washington University's Facilities Management Department was initially established under the supervision of the Washington State Normal School Board of Trustees when the school opened in 1891. In 1910, a Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds was appointed and given the responsibility for facilities management of the campus. During the 1920s, a Business Manager replaced the Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds consolidating departments. The Facilities Management Department was reorganized in 1986 and included the planning division.
Content Description
