Facilities Planning and Construction (FP&C) presents Design & Construction Inforum 2012.

This is an opportunity for Architectural and Engineering consultant firms, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, and others to meet the staff of the Facilities Planning and Construction Department at the University of Virginia. The Academic Division, Health System Division, Engineering and Design Division, Office of the University Building Official, Office of Contract Administration, and FP&C Management desire to meet you and your staff. Our goal is to establish positive relationships and enhance our mutual design and construction concerns.

How does the Inforum work?

FP&C will have specific conversational areas for each of the operational divisions. Through the use of displays, renderings, charts, models, schedules and computer programs, they will share the current and future capital programs of the University.

The Information Exchange

FP&C intends to provide you will all of the information regarding the University of Virginia's present and future Planning and Construction Programs. Included will be the forms, procedures and schedules currently in use. In addition, you and your firm are welcome to distribute any marketing information you may have regarding your firm to UVa.

Networking

You will be given the opportunity to meet with our staff, and the Inforum will also facilitate an opportunity for firms to network with each other as well as subconsultants. The University will provide light refreshments. You are encouraged to come between 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and remain as long as you desire.

It's always good to meet the person behind the voice you hear on the phone. We hope that you will be able to attend this event and meet the members of our staff. Since we want this to be fun as well as informative, we will need your help to make it a success. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Inforum 2012.
