Planning, Design, and Construction is responsible for the physical creation or renovation of interior and exterior spaces on campus, this includes major construction projects, space assignments and more.

Our goal is to create and maintain a comfortable, safe, and stimulating campus environment that will enhance the learning experience and promote a positive place to work.

Minor Construction and Renovation Projects

Planning, Design, and Construction provides several services to the UNO campus community at no cost, including:

  • Alternative room and furniture layouts
  • Consultation on American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Contract administration services on all construction projects
  • Coordination of paint, carpet, and other upgrades
  • Initial cost estimates
  • Preparation and procurement of bids from contractors for minor renovation projects
  • Preliminary, schematic design and design development for minor renovation projects
  • Additional fees may be required for construction documents depending on the size and complexity of the project.

If your project involves minor construction (total project costs under $650,000) please use the Construction and Renovation Request Form to initiate a new project. A Project Manager will contact you with further information.


Major Construction and Renovation Projects

Start your project and/or request a new project estimate by filling out the Construction and Renovation Request Form. A Project Manager will contact you with further information.

If you expect your project to be completed over a summer, it is advised that you submit your request before October 1 of the current year to allow for proper planning, budgeting, and scheduling in order to complete a project before the start of the fall semester.

Large construction and renovation projects (total project costs over $650,000) are initiated through the UNO Facilities Development Plan.

Once projects are approved, their management is handled through the Office of Planning, Design, and Construction and we oversee:

  • Program Statement
  • Design
  • Construction documents
  • Bidding
  • Construction
  • Post Construction

Codes Enforcement

The Assistant Director for Planning, Design, and Construction, in cooperation with UNO Environmental Health and Safety, is the building codes authority and is responsible for the maintenance, construction, and renovation of all buildings according to the building codes and the fire/life safety codes promulgated by the State of Nebraska.

Planning and Space Requirements

Use the Space Allocation Request Form if you wish to move or change your department or office’s space assignment. Your request will be reviewed by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the Director of Facilities Management and Planning who will begin a review of the need for space, availability, and then offer a recommendation for action.

This department coordinates and maintains an inventory of available space on UNO’s campus. The inventory tracks condition, usage (classroom, laboratory, and office), departmental assignment, allowable occupancies based on life safety and building code requirements, and credit hour production.

We also conduct building surveys and ensure deferred maintenance schedules are maintained and submitted with appropriate documentation as required by the state for potential funding. Periodic dates and site surveys are conducted on a timely basis.


Facilities Compliance to Americans with Disability Act (ADA)

UNO is committed to providing accommodations necessary to allow individuals with disabilities to effectively and safely function in our campus work and school environment. This unit is responsible for implementing and maintaining ADA standards throughout the campus physical environment.

This includes a variety of considerations from building accessibility to accessible restrooms and appropriate signage.
