Renovations (University Planning and Space Management)

If your research requires significant renovations to a building, room or laboratory, it is highly important that you plan ahead and work with the University Planning and Place Management staff. Depending on the size of work to be done, lead time could be very large. This could affect your expenditure of start-up funds or an anticipated start date of work on a grant.

TIP: Be sure to plan ahead when needing renovations to a space. Depending on the size and complexity, completion time can range from a very quick to a very long duration.

Changes to existing space through renovation work and/or changes to the existing function of a space, construction of new space, and off-campus leasing or property acquisitions require approval from University Planning. This office is the initial point of contact for all capital projects for OHIO . Please call 740.593.2727 or visit the web site at www.facilities.ohiou.edu/planning_space/.

If you plan to submit a budget request to a sponsor to cover renovations, you should contact the Planning staff to assist you in determining an estimate for services. Additional information, in the Plant Operations section of this handbook can assist you in estimating an amount for services, if completed by OHIO personnel. The Planning staff are also happy to assist you in the coordination among other OHIO departments such as Environmental Health and Safety, Lab Animal Resources, Facilities Management and Plant Operations, as the need arises.
