E. Capital Projects (Policy D-12)
E.1 Introduction
The College’s facilities expansion and capital development program continues as Fanshawe
responds to pressure for increased enrolment as well to ensure that our facilities are well
maintained and meet the needs of the current and ever evolving learning and working
environment. The management of service disruptions and the risks associated with the
College’s Capital Plan will continue to be an important element of the College’s activities for the
next several years.
In October 2011 the Board approved the College’s Capital Projects Plan with a total source of
financing of $44,880,000 and total expenditures of $44,550,000. The following report updates
this information to reflect the status of the Plan at this time. Various projects included in this
Plan are either underway, nearing completion or in the early stages of planning.
In January 2008, the College’s new Campus Master Plan for the London Campus was
presented to the Board as part of the Long-Term Facilities/Properties and Campus Master
Planning Monitoring Report. The following five campus planning directions were outlined in the
report, along with campus plans identified to meet these directions:
‣ Improve student success and student services
‣ Enhance academic delivery and capacity
‣ Strengthen campus identity
‣ Rationalize campus operations
‣ Optimize and leverage existing infrastructure
The first Regional Campus Space Planning exercise for Simcoe, St. Thomas, and Woodstock
was completed in the Fall of 2009 and presented to the Board at the October 2009 meeting.
A list of the major capital projects planned for the period 2012/13 to 2016/17 is provided in this
section along with a brief description of the project. Each project contributes in one way or
another to achieving the Board’s Ends since having appropriate facilities in place supports the
College’s ability to achieve the directions reflected in these policies. For example, the individual
projects described below support the following Board Ends:
