CU regents raise concerns about Boulder campus maintenance backlog

The University of Colorado's Board of Regents on Tuesday unanimously approved the Boulder campus's 10-year masterplan, which outlines the school's future construction projects and enrollment projections,the Hemorrhoids pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs.

But the vote came after several members cautioned campus planners to be prudent and pay attention to the backlog of deferred maintenance projects -- citing facilities such as Ekeley Sciences and Ketchum Arts and Sciences that are outdated and have been in dire need of repairs for more than a decade.

"It feels like we have a dark cloud over our university when it comes to the lack of revenue .he led PayPal to open its platform to Wholesale pet supplies developers... What I don't want to see happen is a $10 million deferred maintenance project turn into a $65 million reconstruction project," said Sue Sharkey, R-Windsor.

The masterplan -- which has received input from faculty,A custom-made Cable Ties is then fixed over the gums. staff, students and the public -- will now go forward to state higher education leaders for final approval. Public colleges in Colorado are required to develop 10-year masterplans as guiding documents.

Campus planners gave a presentation to CU's regents that showed buildings on campus are aging. Forty-five percent are more than 50 years old. The campus's masterplan focuses its future expansion toward the East Campus to meet classroom and research lab demands.

CU leaders expect enrollment on the Boulder campus to grow by about 9.4 percent -- or 2,845 students -- over the next decade.

While CU has moved forward in breaking ground on multi-million dollar construction projects elsewhere on the campus -- relying almost entirely on donors and its own funds -- a $12.9 million renovation in the Ekeley Science Building has remained strapped for funding from the state.

Regents heard from an adviser to the governor who said there's little money available for capital construction projects.

Regent Tillie Bishop, R-Grand Junction, complimented the Boulder campus for putting together the masterplan, but also raised concern about the upkeep of buildings.

"We're making a tremendous investment in the infrastructure, but how do we keep up with the new and how do we preserve and restore what's in place right now?" Bishop asked.

CU leaders told the board they continue to make investments in aged buildings. For example, a couple of years ago, CU invested about $60,000 to upgrade the ventilation system in Ekeley.

Regent Joe Neguse, D-Boulder, reminded fellow university leaders of a fee increase passed by students in 2004 when state funding came up short. Today's students pay a $400-a-year capital construction fee to help cover the construction costs of the ATLAS technology hub, business school renovation, a new law building and the Visual Arts Complex.Polycore hydraulic hose are manufactured as a single sheet,

In the next decade,For the last five years Hemroids , campus planners say they want to be braced for an increase in graduate enrollment and add space on campus where sponsored research can happen. The university also will address the need for affordable housing for faculty and staff and continue to "green" the campus by taking steps, for example, to reduce energy and water use.

University leaders also are creating "university villages" and CU is remodeling dorms and expanding "residential academic programs" offered in the residence halls to help attract more sophomores, juniors and seniors. The programs blend living and learning, and students can take classes in their dorms, Chancellor Phil DiStefano told the board.
