The University of California, Irvine, Office of Physical Planning and Construction began in 1965. In 1980, the name was shortened to Office of Physical Planning, reporting to the Director of the Office of Budget and Planning, under the Executive Vice Chancellor. Between 1987 and 1990, the office decentralized into discrete units, eventually reporting to separate points in the campus administration. The Office of Campus and Environmental Planning reports to the Vice Chancellor, Administrative and Business Services. The Office of Capital Planning reports to the Associate Vice Chancellor, Resource Management and Analysis. The remaining core of what was the Office of Physical Planning became Design and Construction Services and also reports to the Vice Chancellor, Administrative and Business Services.
