  • Board of Regents Facilities
    ISSUE REVIEW Fiscal Services Division January 8, 2021 Ground Floor, State Capitol Building Des Moines, Iowa 50319 515.281.3566 Board of Regents Facilities ISSUE This Issue Review evaluates academic, research, and administrative facilities operated by the Iowa Board of Regents, and the funding that supports these facilities. This document will review overall budgets, existing deferred maintenance, and a history of capital appropriations. AFFECTED AGENCIES Iowa Board of Regents CODE AUTHORITY Iowa Code chapter 262 Iowa Code chapter 262A FACILITIES BACKGROUND Budgetary support for Regents facilities is set by the Iowa Code and determined by facility use, which falls under the following four definitions: • Academic, Research, and Administrative Buildings: These facilities are supported through the General Education Fund (GEF), Iowa Code chapter 262A. These facilities, the focus of this Issue Review, are typically funded by General Fund appropriations and appropriations from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF). • Residence System: These facilities are under the control of the Board of Regents (Iowa Code section 262.35(3)). These facilities are supported by rents, profits, and incomes arising from these properties. These facilities do not generally receive appropriations. • Self-Supporting Facilities: These facilities are self-liquidating and revenue-producing facilities. Examples include, but are not limited to, student unions, recreational buildings, auditoriums, stadiums, parking facilities, and utilities (Iowa Code section 262.44). These facilities do not generally receive appropriations. • Medical Facilities: These facilities are located at the University of Iowa (UI) and are used primarily for patient care, clinical instruction, and clinical research in the field of medicine (Iowa Code chapter 263A).
