What is Facilities Development?
Facilities Development is responsible for staffing the State Building Commission and developing and implementing the biennial State Building Program. The program includes the construction of new buildings and the remodeling, renovation, and maintenance of existing facilities for all state agencies and the University of Wisconsin System. The division provides technical advice, project management, and field oversight of construction projects; and contracts for architecture/engineering services and construction work. DFD is part of the Department of Administration and is made up of two Bureaus: the Bureau of Architecture and Engineering (BAE) and the Bureau of Capital Budget and Construction Administration (BCBCA). DFD is located in the DOA Building at 101 E. Wilson Street in Madison.
