The Project Management Office has been established to ensure a consistent project methodology within the University. Renovations that are handled by the PMO include ones that involve engineering assessments, and/or have large budgets. If the PMO deems that a project request should be performed in-house, then the PMO will transfer responsibility to the appropriate Facilities Manager for action.
To initiate a project or request information, please email fixit@trentu.ca.
Projects can include, but are not limited to, departmental requests for changes to buildings, space, parking & roads. Examples include renovations and remodelling classrooms, labs or offices, removing or adding walls, and installing specialized equipment.
