CSUS 2020

CSUS 2020 is the Connecticut State University System's comprehensive long-term capital infrastructure investment plan. It was developed consistent with master facilities plans established by its individual universities - Central, Eastern, Southern and Western Connecticut State Universities - and approved by the CSUS Board of Trustees.

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.

After some delays due to the state’s fiscal circumstances, CSUS 2020 is proceeding with design and construction on some first-year projects, as well as design for some second year initiatives. Most recently, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy approved $95 million in state bonding for fiscal year 2012 under the program, for projects to include a Visual and Performing Arts instructional center at Western and a new Classroom building at Central. Groundbreaking for the facilities are planned for the fall of 2011.

Overall, CSUS 2020 will help to address pressing state needs in fields such as nursing, teaching, engineering, business, 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. It was signed into law on November 2, 2007 and launched on July 23, 2008.

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.
