Funding for repairs and maintenance to all facilities is provided through the annual Facilities Maintenance Plan (FMP). The FMP covers costs incurred for the repairs required from normal "wear and tear" on the facilities such as painting, lighting, floor finish replacement, and building code upgrades.

Major capital projects and department requests for alterations and renovations are handled through the Facilities Improvement Plan (FIP). FIP requests are reviewed and referred to the Financial Management Committee for approval and funding. Requests for FIP and FMP work for the next fiscal year are distributed to the University community in September and due back to the Physical Plant Department in mid-October.

Physical Plant personnel are available to provide limited architectural and estimating services for all departments for inclusion on FIP requests.
