Facilities Management Review Committee

Committee Overview & Process

FMRC was organized to be a campus service by reviewing all proposed modifications to the University of Utah campus. The committee addresses questions of project implementation while considering the impact in terms of safety, design, aesthetics, accessibility, impacts to other activities and over- all fit into campus planning documents.

FMRC is an advisory committee. Decisions made by the committee are intended to guide campus changes in a manner that minimizes impacts to campus users, addresses planning concerns and maintains best safety practices during construction.

Who is on the committee?

FMRC is composed of representatives from departments all over campus including: UFacilities, Public Safety, Commuter Services, Space Planning, Risk Management, Center of Disability and Access, Environmental Health and Safety, Hospital Facilities and others.

When and Where?

FMRC meetings will be held every Thursday morning at 8:00am, on an as needed basis via video call. Meetings will be cancelled if there are no agenda items.
*An invitation will be forwarded to you for the requested meeting. Please come prepared to present your exhibits and answer questions from the committee

What activities require FMRC review?

Activities that meet any of the following criteria should come to FMRC. Projects may require more than one FMRC visit:

• Any construction activity that will temporarily disrupt a campus road, sidewalk/pathway, plaza, trail, landscape or parking lot for more than 6 daytime hours (does not supersede the need to coordinate with appropriate departments or individuals)
• Any activity that will disrupt the normal flow of traffic on Mario Capecchi Dr., North Campus Dr. or Foothill Dr., regardless of the activity duration or type
• All construction staging and access plans
• Any campus activity or event that may result in temporary or permanent impacts to campus
• All schematic building site plans (for new buildings and additions)
• Any outdoor initiative or event that may represent changes or impacts to campus
• Changes to campus signage (does not include donor or other building signage)
• Any other activity with actual or potential impacts to campus, at the discretion of the Committee Leader

To get on an FMRC agenda

1. Prepare exhibits: minimally include a project or activity site plan. If applicable to the activity, bring staging and access diagrams and graphics or images that help explain the impact.
2. Send exhibits to Shannon Failner at least 24-hours prior to the desired meeting date
   (note: agendas occasionally fill up so make agenda requests as early as possible.)
