This paper explores the application of the EPC model in university infrastructure projects and its progress risk management. With the increasing demand for university infrastructure, the EPC model, known for its integration and efficiency, has gradually been adopted in university construction. However, it faces challenges related to project delays. University infrastructure projects are characterized by complex multi-party participation, strict policy regulations, and diverse needs, making progress risk control particularly important. Through research on university infrastructure projects, this paper identifies the main factors contributing to progress risks, including technical, financial, organizational management, policy and regulatory issues, and external environmental factors. Furthermore, it proposes corresponding countermeasures, such as strengthening policy monitoring, optimizing management processes, enforcing strict technical reviews, and improving financial management, all aimed at reducing the risk of project delays. This study provides valuable insights for the management of university infrastructure projects and serves as a reference for risk management in similar projects.
