Rutgers New Brunswick/Piscataway Campus

Welcome to the Office of the University Architect

The Office of the University Architect is responsible for managing and monitoring the strategic direction and design of all physical changes made to university owned buildings.  The office has oversight responsibility to see that facility design and their improvements have been addressed and conform to approved University Design Standards.  The University Architect’s approval is verification that all designs have met university standards and have gone through all programming and design processes.

The mission of the Office of the University Architect is to interact with the planning department and lead the design effort to create an environment that supports learning, research, and living campus wide.

This office maintains the list of pre-qualified external architects and engineers for capital project selection as well as manages the RFQ/RFP process for the selection of all external architects and engineers for capital projects and projects over 2 million dollars.  The office also conducts preliminary architectural feasibility studies and initiates programming efforts for new structures and substantial alterations to existing facilities. 

The Design Services group reports to the Office of the University Architect and has the responsibility of ensuring that design standards are maintained and modified as required. This group also provides professional design services for all capital projects from programming/schematic design through design development and construction documents.
