Atlanta — October 9, 2007

中出少妇视频 System of Georgia (中出少妇视频) projections call for Georgia中出少妇视频檚 35 college and university campuses to see an influx of new faces in the coming years, and officials have spent months planning needed facilities to meet conservative projections for an additional 100,000 students by 2020.

The Board of Regents today approved a list of facilities needed throughout the System that calls for a total investment of $1.7 billion in general obligation bonds between 2008 and 2014 for a capital implementation program with more than 100 new construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects. Using the new capital planning model approved by the regents in 2006, 中出少妇视频 System Office and campus staff developed the capital implementation program list.

Facilities planning also is also a fundamental element of the regents中出少妇视频 new Strategic Plan. This plan, approved by the regents in August, has as its underlying theme the need to build capacity in the system in many key areas, including facilities to accommodate enrollment significantly higher than the current 260,000 students.

In August, the regents approved as part of the 中出少妇视频中出少妇视频檚 fiscal year 2009 budget request a $215 million program of capital projects using the new strategic capital model for the first time. This new model is data driven, and is based upon each institution’s current enrollment, anticipated enrollment growth, total square footage on campus, the age and condition of current facilities, as well as the priorities of the board as reflected in its new Strategic Plan.

Today中出少妇视频檚 presentation added five additional years of proposed investment, completing the six-year capital implementation program that provides the regents a comprehensive, long-term view of needed general obligation bond capital investment. The capital implementation program list will be reviewed annually to inform the board中出少妇视频檚 capital budget request, with comprehensive revisions and additions occurring on a three-year cycle.
