Service Centers

These service centers, which may support departments or the entire campus, provide cost savings via services/products to internal Stanford users and on a very limited basis will provide services/products to users external to Stanford. Service centers must recover their operational costs annually through rate(s) to users based on an approved budget and approved rate(s).
