060515 - John explained that Stanford's vigorous building program is managed by
060516 - a construction office comprised of top people recruited across the

060520 - engineering department, and the new Integrted Facilities department to
060521 - support integrating project management functions in Stanford's
060522 - construction office, beginning with cost and schedule control, and
