2023 Capital Budget
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2022 1:58 pm
Not really a whole lot of changes between the 2023 capital budget that was just released and last year's budget. Some things of note:
Looks like the 3045 Kingstown Road building renovation isn't on the table.
$17.9 million in 2023 and 2024 fiscal years to upgrade and renovate Fogarty and White Halls.
The Memorial Union renovation and addition project has gone from $63.7 million to $68.6 million.
Looks like we're putting up a $50 million bond referendum for further improvements to the Bay Campus: The Governor recommends $50.0 million for the general obligation bond referendum in November 2022 and $7.0 from private funds in FY 2027 to finance the renovation and/or replacement various outmoded and inefficient buildings, laboratories, and infrastructure at the Narragansett Bay Campus of the University of Rhode Island. Projects include the replacement of the Horn Laboratories with a modern laboratory facility and the construction of the Ocean Robotics Laboratory and the Ocean Engineering Education and Research Center.
It looks like the Upper College Road multiuse development is either off the table or the University has done all the planning and design work necessary but is not going forward with anything at this time.
