Hide Profile

The Bureau of Engineering was established in 1929 (Ch. 468, Laws, 1929) and replaced the State Department of Engineering (WIHV87-A1266). In 1959, the bureau was placed under the Department of Administration. It was merged with several other units in 1971 to create the Bureau of Facilities Management (WIHV85-A777). The above form of agency name is used for all appropriate records dating 1929-1971.

The bureau was responsible for all engineering and architectural phases of building construction for the state, its sewage and water supply system, its power plants, and maintenance and operation of the Capitol, executive residence, and state office buildings. Engineering staff employed by individual departments also consulted with the State Chief Engineer. In 1951, the bureau was assigned the functions of the former State Planning Board (WIHV86-A39).
