FAF's Planning Team

FAF-Planning is responsible for sustainable, resilient, proactive and effective planning, scoping and budgeting of County’s capital, space and infrastructure needs. We are a small team within the Sustainability, Utilities, and Planning Division. We work closely with the Administrative Space Planning Committee and the Administrative Capital Committee to solve immediate space needs and proactively address long-term facility requirements.

Projects include Tasman and Silver Creek Campus Plans, VMC Master Plan, Reid-Hillview Vision Plan, all-inclusive restroom guidelines, East Wing space planning, ROV warehouse improvements, Parkmoor Hub, and many more.
