Business Service Centers

Background of the University of New Hampshire’s Administrative Redesign Project- 1996

One of the goals outlined in UNH’s 1995 Planning Council Report was to maximize resources devoted to teaching, research and public service by reducing the cost of administrative overhead, improving administrative services to faculty and staff, improving financial controls, and improving the quality of information for decision-making.

As part of this goal, UNH aimed to consolidate all departmental business functions (accounting, budgeting, purchasing, grants & contracts accounting, personnel, payroll, financial analysis, and management reporting) into 10 to 20 comprehensive Business Service Centers (BSCs) and require all business transactions from all UNH units to be processed by a BSC. The Administrative Services Redesign web site provides additional information about the project.
