For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

The capital initiatives identified are carefully aligned with the University’s Never Settle Strategic Plan and the Arizona Board of Regents 2020 Vision Plan. This Capital Improvement Plan helps position the University to improve its status as a leading edge public research university with workforce-ready graduates and innovators to improve the quality of life in Arizona and beyond. Specifically, the ongoing University integrated planning process provides capital project priorities and recommendations that address: Efficient and effective response to Arizona’s higher education needs in times of increasing enrollment and declining state funding Strategic expansions of the University’s research enterprise and research-related revenues Improved student engagement and experiences through discovery and innovation Strategic preservation and re-use of important historic and other campus facilities Improvements to Arizona’s quality of life and economic vitality In the One-Year Capital Plan (FY 2017), we are currently proposing no new capital projects, while our Two-Year Capital Plan forecast represents strategic investment in the plan priorities. We are currently updating our Campus Masterplan and will ensure that the physical campus challenges, opportunities and needs are directly informed by the University’s Strategic Plan. Together, the Campus Masterplan, Strategic Plan and Capital Improvement Plan represent a fully coordinated and active support of our collective goals to serve and move forward the State of Arizona.
