The Institutional Project Management Office (IPMO) oversees project management practices across the institution and provides support for all project managers, both experienced and new. The IPMO works directly with several key areas of the University, including Academic Administration, Construction and Planning, Facilities Management, and the Office of Information Technology, to collect, review and onboard new initiatives.
A project is different from an operational service request. A project is an endeavor that is temporary in nature and is undertaken to produce a unique product. Operations are ongoing execution of activities that occur after a project or product is implemented to produce the same result or a repetitive service. Operational service requests are available in the Service Catalog.
To submit a project request, click the 'Submit Project Request' button on the right.
