Capital Plan 2024-2028
Overview:
The University's 2024-2028 Capital Plan is a maintenance-centric plan focused on system renewals, maximizing funding impact, and minimizing administrative burden. This plan is a significantly smaller investment in University resources, particularly on the Education and General (E&G) budget, than the former capital plan.
Major construction projects in this plan focus on strategic project progressions and deferred projects from the former capital plan.
The 2024-2028 University Capital Plan does not include funding for smaller, unit-level projects.
