A University Architect served as the construction officer at Washington State
University from 1911 forward. The modern form of the office dates from 1947 when it
became a full-time, staffed administrative department. In 1967 the University
Architect office was renamed as Facilities Planning, and then to Facilities
Development in 1993. In 2001 it was renamed as Capital Planning. While Capital
Planning is responsible for major planning and development, smaller projects are
conducted by Facilities Operations. Facilities Operations descended from the
Physical Plant in 1998, which in turn descended from Building and Grounds in 1967.
While each line of programs has existed separately, some migration in function has
occurred over the years. The primary difference between Capital Planning and
Facilities Operations is the cost of the project in question - initially items
costing less than $1,000,000 were assigned to Fac Ops, and those costing more to CP.
By 2009, this break point is between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000.
The files consist of agenda, minutes, correspondence, reports, blueprints, maps, and
budget and finance records of the Washington State University Department of
Facilities Planning.
The Facilities Planning Office Files are arranged alphabetically in a single subject series.
