There are a number of offices on campus you should contact when planning the actual construction of your project.

Department of Public Safety
  • Can provide traffic control for your project if needed
  • Will provide staffing to monitor site security if required
  • Parking enforcement
Diversity and Access Office

Tips for Construction Logistics

  • Everyone needs a permit to park on campus
  • Stanford discourages parking in residential neighborhoods and on landscaped areas
  • If your project will impact public artwork, contact the Cantor Arts Center Outdoor Sculpture Coordinator and/or Director of Art & Science Learning Lab before construction begins
  • Always notify neighbors in advance of any work. This goes a long way in understanding and helps Stanford maintain good relationships
  • Allow 2-4 weeks turn-around when working with Parking and Transportation
