Central Washington University Board of Trustees May 17, 2018
Executive Summary: Capital Master Plan The comprehensive Capital Master Plan was last updated in FY 2013. This planning effort involved the procurement of professional services, directing a comprehensive study requiring the engagement of the entire university community. This effort, while very important, was costly and extremely time consuming. It should be noted that much of the information from 2013 planning effort is still applicable in FY 2019. Therefore, the intention is to update the 2013 document using current data where appropriate and then secure professional services to assist with compilation and written presentation of the draft FY19 Capital Master Plan. At the request of the president, Chief of Staff, Linda Schactler began the process of revising the draft 20- year plan in February to reflect the current status of facilities and evolving planning assumptions. This review revealed significant evolution in policy, planning, and technology had occurred in just the four years since the last draft capital plan. Discussions among administrators and staff concluded that the plan should become a ten-year document, updated biennially. This schedule aligns CWU capital planning with the state capital budgeting requirements and will ensure CWU capital planning is always relevant. The draft document was shared with President Gaudino, Interim Vice President of Operations Richard Duffett, and Associate Vice President of Facilities and Capital Planning, Shane Scott, for review and comment. In order to strengthen and bring the planning document up-to-date, the Chief of Staff’s working document also was distributed to administrative units for input and revisions. These areas included Information Services, University Police and Public Safety, Facilities Management (distributed), Provost/Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs, Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs (housing and dining), and Vice President of Public Affairs. Changes, additions and deletions were complete Friday, April 22, and provided to the Interim Vice President of Operations for compilation. The document was again forwarded to cabinet for final review. On May 1, the draft final update was sent to the global architecture and design firm, Perkins+Will, for review and layout by May 30. It will be then submitted to the board for review and approval at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees, on July 25-27.
