All renovations, such as alterations, modifications or additions to building spaces, systems, or equipment, must be pre-approved by the College Facilities Committee, chaired by Alex Shtromberg. Regardless of the funding source, no renovations may be performed without prior committee approval. (This College committee also includes the Dean, Asst. Dean, Building Manager, Shops Manager, EH&S Director, and Director of Information Systems.)

Engineering support is provided to technical and research personnel in the design and construction of research, teaching, and building-related equipment, in the liquid air operation, and in renovation of laboratories, offices, and classrooms.
