Capital Projects

Due to the size of the University of California and changing needs of staff and stakeholders, UCOP regularly manages several construction projects simultaneously.  In partnership with UCOP leadership, BASC plays an important role in these projects by scoping work, selecting vendors, meeting building standards, conducing financial planning and ensuring successful completion.

These projects are classified as either major projects with over $1MM in budget or minor projects budgeted at less than $1MM. Below is a brief overview of current construction projects at UCOP.
