Biography/History

Created in 1963 under the name of Planning and Development, responsibilities (and those of its successors) included overseeing the design, construction, and remodeling of buildings on the UWM campus. In 1974, the name changed to Physical Planning and Construction. In 1978, the department became Design Services within the Facilities Department; the director was in charge of both operations. In 1982, the Facilities Department separated into two departments: Physical Plant, and Planning and Construction. Under this reorganization, the position of director of planning and construction was recreated. In 1995, the name changed to Campus Facilities Planning.
