CSUS 2020
Governor Rell signs CSUS 2020 legislation at Western Connecticut State University on November 2, 2007, flanked by members of the CSUS Board of Trustees, university presidents and legislators.
It was developed consistent with master facilities plans developed by its individual universities - Central, Eastern, Southern and Western Connecticut State Universities - and approved by the Board of Trustees.
"If there is a crown jewel in this bonding bill, it is the program that will continue the glorious transformation of higher education in Connecticut," Gov. Rell said.
CSUS 2020 will help to address pressing state needs in fields such as nursing, teaching, engineering, science and technology, and provide students with the facilities and equipment necessary to be well-prepared to respond to the needs of Connecticut employers and strengthen the state's economic well-being.

CSUS 2020 includes funds for code compliance, infrastructure improvements, mechanical and electrical upgrades, renovation and equipment, as well as new construction which, in many cases, is to replace antiquated or inadequate facilities - some dating back to the 1950’s and 1960’s. Stressing accountability and transparency, CSUS 2020 provides for project management by the Department of Public Works and oversight by the Department of Public Safety.
CSUS 2020 is an investment in Connecticut's young people and Connecticut's future.
