The Engineering Cell was established in 2002 when Lahore College for Women was elevated to the status of university. At the beginning, the strength of Engineering Cell was only one Sub-Engineer (Civil) headed by the Project Director, whose services were borrowed on deputation from Architecture Department, Govt. of Punjab. Presently the Engineering Cell is headed by a Project Director with other engineering and official staff including two Assistant Engineers (Civil), two Sub-Engineer (Civil), One Senior Sub-Engineer (Electrical), One Senior Draftsman, One Junior Draftsman, Two Electricians, One Computer Operator and two Naib Qasid. However the cell needs further strengthening in view of the increased M&R works. The Engineering Cell is responsible for planning, designing, execution of development works through consultants and maintenance & repair of all university buildings and infrastructure works except routine petty repairs.
