Projects are accomplished by outside design and construction contractors and the associated costs are charged to the requesting department.  A funding source MUST be included with a Project Request.  Projects that include reconfiguration of spaces and modifications to building systems require a completed design by licensed architects and engineers and these projects must be permitted through the District of Columbia's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA).  Alternations, Improvements and Renovations cannot begin prior to a successfully completed design phase.

If you have any questions or need advice about your proposed project, please indicate on the Project Request form that you need consultation with one of our staff members in the Planning and Design Management unit or in the Capital Project Management unit.  Or, send an email to:  cua-fpc@cua.edu.

Relocating occupants to new office locations must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.  FMO has limited in-house capability to move large quantities of boxes and furniture; therefore, most moves are accomplished by the University's move service vendor.  Facilities can assist with obtaining quotes and procuring those services.  The requesting department is responsible for requisitioning and payment.
