About Us

Campus Construction is a unit in the portfolio of Business Strategies and Operations.

These Business Strategies and Operations units work closely with Campus Construction:

• Campus Real Estate Office
• Office of Sustainability
• Project Management and Construction Services

Campus Construction also works collaboratively with the UT System Office of Capital Projects in areas that include project safety, project insurance, submission of materials to the Board of Regents (BOR), and reporting to UT System executives such as the Chancellor and BOR members.

Campus Construction consists of a director, associate director, project managers, construction inspectors, program analysis, contract management, and administrative support.

All of our staff have extensive experience with capital projects. A majority have experience with projects carried out for UT Austin, such as Dell Medical School, Engineering Education and Research Center, Robert B. Rowling Hall, and College of Liberal Arts buildings.

Campus Construction is a service center that relies on capital project workload to fund its operations.

In fall 2016, the Board of Regents of the University of Texas System formed a committee to review services required to manage the system’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and examine opportunities for cost-effective outsourcing. In May 2017, the Board approved the committee’s recommendation to give UT Austin the authority to manage and execute its major capital projects.

The committee also recommended that the majority of UT System Office of Facilities Planning and Construction staff assigned to major CIP projects at UT Austin be transitioned to the university. The Board approved that recommendation as well. As a result of the Board action, The Office of Capital Planning and Construction (CPC) was created within the Facilities Planning and Management (FPM) portfolio.

Organizational and leadership changes in November 2022 resulted in the development of the office of Campus Construction, under the management of Business Strategies and Operations portfolio.
