Hey Students! Have you ever wondered what your University Student Facility Fee pays for? Have you ever asked yourself “Who is paying for all the new buildings on campus?” Well, you and your fellow students are!

The University Student Facility Fee is used to provide new academic facilities and / or to improve current academic facilities that directly benefit the students of Colorado State University. The mission of the University Facility Fee Advisory Board, made up of students appointed by their College Councils, “…shall be to provide guidance and advice concerning the University Student Facility Fee to the Vice President of University Operations and / or their designee; to review all project proposals for allocations of the University Student Facility Fee; and to ensure that all allocations of the University Student Facility Fee will be used to provide new facilities and / or to improve current facilities that directly benefit the students of Colorado State University.”

New buildings on campus such as Computer Science, Rockwell West, and Behavioral Sciences were funded by your University Student Facility Fee. Renovations to classrooms and study lounges have also been funded by your facility fee. The renovation taking place in Morgan Library and the addition of the Study Cube are two more examples of your facility fee being put to work. The Study Cube is a study space that will be open 24/7, allowing students a safe and secure place to study. These are just a few of the projects that your University Student Facility Fee has funded.

To learn more about the projects your University Student Facility Fee is able to fund and is currently funding, check out the U niversity Facility Fee Advisory Board website at uffab.colostate.edu where you will also find the UFFAB Preliminary Project Proposal form.

The deadline for Project Proposals is: Thursday 15 September 2011 - fall consideration Friday 20 January 2012 - spring considersation
