University of Washington Capital Projects Office, Construction Office records, 1992-1996

One of three divisions within the Capital Projects Office, the Construction Office provides contract administration for public works construction programs including contract preparation, notice to proceed, jobsite administration, closeout, acceptance, physical plant turn-over and one-year warranty review. The Capital Projects Office provides project management for construction, remodeling and renovation of University facilities, including oversight of programming, feasibility studies, design and budget preparation under the Assistant Vice President for Capital Projects.

The Capital Projects Office was created on 15 March 1994, when the University of Washington Facility Management Office was split into two parts: the University of Washington Capital Projects Office which included the Construction Office and the South Campus Construction Office; and the University of Washington Physical Plant Department. Further restructuring in 1996 placed the Physical Plant Department under the direction of a new entity, the University of Washington Facility Services Office.
