In 1959 the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated
funds to the Consolidated University of North Carolina to
establish a long-range planning effort for capital improvements.
In September of that year the Chapel Hill campus used $15,000
from the appropriation to create the University Planning Office,
with Arthur Norman Tuttle, Jr., as director.  Initially the
Office was part of the Division of Business Affairs.  On or
shortly after July 1, 1966, however, it began reporting to the
Assistant to the Chancellor, Claiborne S. Jones.  This
arrangement continued until March 1968, when the Planning Office
returned administratively to the Division of Business Affairs and
began reporting to the Director of Operations and Engineering.

     The first major responsibility of the Planning Office was to
develop a ten-year plan for campus space needs.  Planning staff
began by evaluating property and facility use and requests for
space.  Eventually they developed specific design programs for
new buildings and for renovations and additions to existing
structures.  In the process they worked closely with many campus
groups, including departmental and school personnel, the faculty
Building and Grounds Committee, and administrative officials, as
well as with architects, consulting engineers, and officers of
the Consolidated University’s General Administration and Board of
Trustees.

     The Planning Office prepared various need justifications and
cost estimates for submission to campus officials, General
Administration, the Board of Trustees, and the General Assembly.
Planning staff supervised the architect's preparation of
schematic drawings and construction specifications for the
contractor bidding process in approved projects.  With the award
of contract and the initiation of construction, primary
responsibility for the project passed from the Planning Office to
the Office of the University Engineer (later Office of
Construction and Engineering, now Construction Administration
Department).

     In 1969 Gordon H. Rutherford replaced Arthur Tuttle as
Director of the Planning Office.  On July 1, 1974, the Planning
Office was reorganized and its name changed to Facilities
Planning Office.  Also at that time the Office began reporting
directly to the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business.  In 1987
the Facilities Planning Office was renamed Facilities Planning
and Design Office.  While the division of responsibilities within
the Office has become finer, its basic functions have remained
unchanged.

     The records of the Facilities Planning and Design Office are
arranged in two subgroups.  Subgroup 1 includes general
administrative files that reflect the office's relationship to
other agencies within the Division of Business and Finance, as
well as to offices in other campus divisions and to non-campus
agencies and officials.  Subgroup 2 consists of project planning
files arranged in series according to type of facility.  Building
names are given as file titles.  A table of contents on the
following page provides an overview of how the subgroups are
organized.

The following record groups in the University Archives contain
related information:

Division of Business and Finance:
     Records of the Office of the Vice Chancellor
     Records of the Construction Administration Dept.

Faculty Affairs:
     Records of the Building and Grounds Committee

SUBGROUP 1: ADMINISTRATIVE FILES

     The files in this subgroup concern the internal operations
of the Facilities Planning and Design Office, especially funding
and staff needs, and the relationship of the Office to other
campus and non-campus agencies and organizations.  General campus
plans, as opposed to specific designs, are also found in this
subgroup.  The files are alphabetically arranged.
