Building Signage/Environmental Graphics

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is the first step in the design review process for any new facility or addition to an existing facility at the university.

ARC works with the selected design team representatives to develop their design review submittal and coordinates design review meetings/presentations to the Chancellor’s Design Review Committee, the Chancellor, the President, and the Audit, Budget, Finance and Facilities Committee as the required process to obtain Board of Trustees approval of the facility design.
