Capital Construction Budget Recommendations and Prioritization, 2017-2019 Biennium for the Nebraska State College System, University of Nebraska, and Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture

The Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education provides funding and priority recommendations for Nebraska State College, University of Nebraska, and Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture at Curtis (NCTA) capital construction budget requests, as outlined in Nebraska's Constitution and Statutes. The overarching principle used in this process is to provide safe, functional, well-utilized, and well-maintained facilities that support institutional efforts to provide exemplary programs. Section I of the report provides additional detail regarding ongoing routine maintenance, addressing deferred repair, and renovation/remodeling needs at the State Colleges and University. The Commission recommends continued reaffirmation funding of all partially funded capital construction projects as outlined in Section II. Section III outlines the State College, University, and NCTA capital construction budget requests as submitted by their respective governing board. These requests include Task Force for Building Renewal requests from all institutions and individual capital construction budget requests from the State Colleges. Funding recommendations are provided in Section IV of the report, including recommended funding modifications to several capital construction budget requests. [For the 2015-2017 report, see ED604925.]
