Facilities Management

The Facilities Management Department is responsible for directing all aspects of facilities, including operations and planning, design and construction.  We provide oversight of master planning, property acquisition/disposition landscape planning, engineering design, contract development, project construction, renovation planning, energy conservation planning, sustainability policy, the Historically Underutilized Businesses program, and facilities maintenance and operations.

The department brings together the efforts of innovative professionals in various units, all of which are committed to excellence in creating and preserving a physical environment for the entire campus community.

The Office of Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) at North Carolina Central University is committed to making opportunities available to all contractors, in efforts to provide access to university construction projects.

Our campus is in full compliance with North Carolina General Statute 143-128.2, to have a verifiable ten-percent (10%) minority goal participation.  NCCU continues to surpass the state’s ten-percent goal on most campus projects.

North Carolina Central University is committed to promoting and implementing long-term sustainability best practices in its policies, procedures, and actions as a good steward of the taxpayer’s money and in support of a better physical and academic environment for our students, faculty, staff, and society.

As the cost of energy continues to increase, the importance of designing new facilities and upgrading older facilities to reduce their operational costs is vital to the University’s fiscal well being and for maintaining future growth as outlined in our Master Plan.  Updated design standards are being implemented in all new construction so that we can minimize future costs and improve the working environment at the University.

These policies also provide leadership for our students and staff in promoting environmental awareness and best practices that improve the environment of the University and society as a whole.  An important focus of the mission of North Carolina Central University has always been to prepare our students academically and professionally as leaders not only in their chosen professions but also in advancing social responsibility in an increasing diverse global society.  Being environmentally responsible is now a vital aspect of acting in a socially responsible manner.  It is our hope that by implementing long-term sustainability best practices, we will help nurture our core values.

As the creative and construction delivery component of NCCU’s Facilities Management Unit, Planning, Design and Construction (PDC) is committed to providing the highest order of customer service by diligently assessing the physical needs of the campus; articulating design ideas in innovative, aesthetic and cost-sensitive ways; and delivering construction projects in a timely manner with strict adherence to scope and budget.

To this end, PDC provides its team with the latest information on changes in state policies and procedures for capital project delivery; hands-on training in use of equipment and systems for project management and documentation of funds; and access to the latest electronic design, data and construction management software.

In-house design services are provided for small capital improvement projects of up to $2 million, including minor renovations, space modifications, interior upfits, material selections and move management.

PDC’s responsibilities for capital improvement projects include development of project budgets, preparation of requests for qualifications and proposals, management of project design processes, conducting project bidding/contract award, construction management, the review/approval of contractor invoices, and serving as liaison between the University and the contractor community.

The Planning, Design and Construction unit works in conjunction with the University Budget Office to create and maintain budgets for each approved project; process all state budget revisions and allotments; validate payment of construction invoices; and provide periodic and special reports for capital improvement projects.
