Â鶹AV has developed a prioritization process for capital projects that is based on portfolios that reflect the different functional areas of the University. This prioritization process enables the University to align capital expenditures with Â鶹AV’s strategic objectives.
Units representing each of these sectors are given an annual allocation and have the mandate to review and rank the requests for projects that fall under their area of responsibility.Â
