Grounds Improvement Advisory Committee

The Grounds Improvement Advisory Committee (GIAC) provides oversight of all exterior operational impacts relative to campus construction projects; pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic; general and construction parking; campus graphics and signage; and pedestrian safety and access. In addition, the committee reviews proposed improvements to the campus grounds outside the scope of the regular UW Facilities maintenance program and which are not associated with specific building construction projects.

Schedule

The GIAC meets the third Tuesday of every month from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. To add an agenda item for review by the GIAC, please contact Cody Rawlins.
