Service Centers

Stanford has schools or departments which operate facilities or research lab as a self-sustaining “businesses” that provide on-going products or services in support of the University’s teaching and research functions. These service centers, which may support departments or the entire campus, provides cost savings via services / products to internal Stanford users and on a very limited basis will provide services / products to users external to Stanford. Service Centers must recover their operational costs annually through rate(s) to users based on an approved budget & approved rate(s).

A list of the current service centers and their contacts, plus the list of corresponding RAPC/CMA analysts for any questions you might have is available on the web.
