Facilities Planning is introducing a new digital project request process that we hope will help improve our services to the campus. Using  Smartsheet, the process is automated and keeps a record of all requests. This process will allow the requester to quickly enter the key components of the request and easily submit the request to the appropriate Dean or VP for initial approval. The approver can approve or deny the request allowing Facilities Planning staff to focus only on the requests that are deemed priorities. Once approved a Facilities Planning staff member will receive the request and make contact with the requester.

You may find the link to the Request Form on the Facilities Planning web page or on the Facilities Project Request Form through the Service Apps in Unify.
