Capital Project Planning Process

Potential areas for improvement:

• 1. Establish criteria for Capital Program formulation: alignment

with Cornerstone Plan, mission of the University, etc.;

• 2. Board of Visitors to review proposed projects when Capital

Program is developed, prior to planning study;

• 3. Review project budget threshold for Board of Visitors review

(currently $2M); other criteria, i.e. historic importance.
