Capital Budget Planning
Each year, the University is required to submit to the State of New Jersey, a Capital Budget request for the next Fiscal Year. The request is specifically submitted to New Jersey Commission on Capital Budgeting and Planning. The process that the University undertakes in documenting the Capital Budget for each Fiscal Year is a community-wide shared process that commences in July of each year. Members of the various committees, including the Space Management Committee, the President’s Cabinet and the Board of Trustees – Building & Grounds Committee participated in various aspects of the process. The committees include Board of Trustees members, Cabinet members, faculty, staff and students.
The overall Capital Budget Request includes a variety of capital projects that are in response to developing programs of the University, including academics, student affairs, enrollment management, athletics, etc. Also included in the Capital Budget process is a detailed analysis of deferred maintenance projects as prepared by the Division of Facilities & Operations. The most recent submission to the State was for Fiscal Year 2022. Aspects of this request was the predecessor to the Update of the Facilities Master plan.
The FY22 Request identified capital priorities totaling $597,241,177. Of this amount, the University requested $447,930,883 in new State capital funding to support various projects. These funds do not include resources made available through existing state capital bond programs, such as the Higher Education Capital Improvement Fund (HECIF). The State-funding request, however, does include funds for auxiliary enterprises, which traditionally have been institutionally funded.
