CAPITAL PLAN PROGRESS
Purchase College continues further progress towards addressing the critical maintenance backlog as we look to begin year three of our five year 2008 - 2013 Capital Facilities Plan.
We are currently managing over 90 million dollars in critical maintenance projects, and another $35 million dollars in Strategic Initiative and Residence Hall program projects.
We have made steady progress in addressing our critical maintenance backlog during the past few years. Our strategy has been of repairing the exterior of the buildings before we begin interior renovations.
By way of example, at the end of this plan in 2012, all of our academic building roofs will have been replaced and / or will be under warranty.
New projects to address exterior masonry projects in Visual Arts, Physical Education & the Music Conservatory will have begun and Interior and HVAC projects will be underway for the Dance instructional facility and the Humanities building.
As of June 29th, 2010, the State Legislature approved $550 million dollars state wide, of new critical maintenance funds pending the Department of Budget's final appropriation. Purchase’s share for 2010 is $18.4 million -- $2.4 million more than expected.
