Operational Procedures & Service Guide
Under the direction of the University Engineer, PPES provides architecture and engineering services to the SIUC campus community. A staff of architects, electrical, mechanical, civil engineers combined with planning, interior design and drafting allows PPES to handle planning, development and design for construction, renovation and maintenance projects.
