Five-year capital plan approved

The university’s five-year capital plan was approved at the June 29th Board of Governors meeting. The plan, which is updated each year, outlines the major capital priorities (greater than $5 million) for the campus including projects to address space pressures as well as deferred building maintenance. The capital priorities for the university include the following:

• Student housing expansion and renewal;
• Business and Economics Building expansion;
• Fraser and Petch Building renewal;
• Elliot Science teaching laboratory upgrades; and
• Campus seismic program (Clearihue, MacLaurin, Elliot Lecture Theatre and the University Centre Auditorium).

As well as the above capital projects, planning work will continue over the next two years to develop a plan to address academic space pressures in engineering and computer science, science and social sciences. The full report can be viewed at uvic.ca/financialplanning/capital.
