    THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA Report on the 2000 Higher Education Bond Program Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee September 2006 The Higher Education Facilities Financing Act bond program has entered into its sixth year and the constructed facilities are providing significant benefits to the students of the University of North Carolina and to the State. While providing more than 88,000 jobs, the program is ensuring that high quality resources, particularly in science and technology facilities, are available to students and researchers as North Carolina transitions from a manufacturing-based economy to one that is more knowledge-based and able to compete in the global environment. Over the last year, the campuses have made considerable progress. • All 318 of the bond projects are now under design, in construction or completed. Through July 2006, 36 projects are under design, 109 are in construction and 173 have been completed. • $2.19 billion or 88% of bond program dollars are now committed to design or construction contracts. It is expected that 90% of the bond program dollars will be committed by September 2006. • That the program will exceed $2 billion in expenditures in September 2006. • As part of its continuing commitment to contribute resources to its capital needs, the University has requested and the General Assembly has approved over $2.7 billion in projects from nonappropriated sources since 2000. • The program continues to exceed State goals recommended for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) by more than 60%. The University’s outreach efforts, including the “HUB Contractor Academy”, which teaches skills essential for managing a construction business, are building a momentum that promises long-term benefit for the minority contracting community.
