This study asked to review all facilities no matter what their funding sources were. Ms. Klein suggested taking a wide swath to plan accordingly for projected enrollment. Collectively, the system looks good but individually it does not. Conditions of some buildings are so poor that they cannot be used as intended. Laboratory space is in short supply.
Quality is a greater problem than capacity.
Non-appropriated buildings are in much better shape. Major renovations have to become a priority for the University system, not new buildings. Ms. Fuse-Hall further stated that the historically black campuses wanted the University to look at equity. There is no evidence of a pattern of under or over funding. The study did find that the leadership in the General Assembly had a huge impact on the building of capital projects at a particular time in history.
