Capital Projects within the Planning, Real Estate, and Facilities supports the planning and development of capital project requests and is responsible for the delivery of projects ranging from minor renovations to major new construction.  The department oversees all aspects of a project’s development and delivery, including architectural design, engineering, estimating, budgeting and project management.

The Capital Projects group plays a significant role in the success of the University through its implementation of Master Plan projects and the development of laboratory, classroom, office, residential and landscape projects.

Members of the Real Estate team work with University leadership and colleagues in the Office of the General Counsel, Business Services, and the Office of City and Community Engagement on strategic assessment of real estate opportunities in Boston and throughout the global network. In Boston this work includes overseeing the Institutional Master Plan, permitting major projects, and identifying opportunities for leasing and development partnerships to meet the University’s demand for space. On other campuses, the team assists with public presentations, test fits and regulatory processes. We also partner with local experts and community leaders to ensure the success of teaching and research.
