Capital Projects 101

Course Description:

Planning for changes to our built environment involves thoughtful preparation and planning. From the Henle Village redevelopment to 111 Mass, the Capital Projects team supports our common home by leading the planning, designing, and construction of Georgetown University’s built environment on the hilltop and beyond.

Capital Projects 101 introduces you to the process of requesting and initiating a capital project at Georgetown. Examples of Capital Projects may include but are not limited to: building improvements and expansions, space renovations, new furniture, building signage, or real estate leases. This session will also share important upcoming deadlines for submitting Capital Projects requests for the upcoming Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27).

Audience and Format:
The course is 90 minutes with additional time allotted for Q&A in Meeting Room A in the Reiss Science Building on the Main Hilltop Campus. The registration limit for this in-person session is 10 registrants.

This workshop is geared towards anyone in the Georgetown University community who would like to make a change to the physical environment for their official responsibilities in their role. This training is hosted and facilitated by the Capital Projects team in Planning and Facilities Management, in partnership with the HR Learning and Development team.

Accessibility:
Please use the accommodations question in the registration form to notify us of any accommodations you require to ensure an effective learning environment. A good faith effort will be made to address any requests made less than 48 hours prior to the session date. Prior to the session we will send you an email with information on how to prepare.

What happens next?

Once the Capital Projects team receives all requests, we will partner with you to create project charters that define scope, schedule, and budget to meet your objectives and goals. These charters will go through a vetting and approval process with the Advisory and Governance Committee . The approved project information will equip the finance team to prepare for the financial needs of the university and gear up for FY27 project activity.

Simultaneously, Capital Projects will prepare our resources to successfully deliver the project in the coming fiscal year.
