Implementation of the physical plan is already underway with
more than $500 million in projects under construction.
Building UB: the Comprehensive Physical Plan remains the campus
plan for the University at Buffalo – despite state budgetary
problems and failure of the state Legislature to support policy
reforms sought by UB and the State University of New York.
Its principles and projects continue to guide our ongoing
efforts to transform our campuses into sustainable, beautiful,
lovable places that can help us achieve our aspirations for
academic excellence.Some of the projects like new buildings for the
engineering and pharmacy schools and the Educational Opportunity
Center are funded by “strategic initiatives” with funds
that were in place when the plan was created.Others, like the
restoration of Hayes and Crosby halls, will be funded by
“critical maintenance” funding intended to reduce the
backlog of deferred reinvestment on UB campuses.
