Background
The Planning Office was officially organized in 1945 under the directorship of Eldridge T.
Spencer. In addition to overseeing the architectural aspects of the campus, the office was
also responsible for overseeing land use and traffic circulation. With the growth of the
campus, the administration of planning activities has undergone several renovations. In 1972
the office was renamed Facilities Planning, Construction and Utilization; in 1978 it was
known as Facilities Planning and Construction. In the 1980s these elements were handled by
two offices: Facilities Project Management and the Planning Office.
