Construction Timeline

The projects covered by the 2024 bond referendum will be undertaken from 2024 through completion. Some factors that impact the schedule are:

  • how imminently critical the need;
  • the volume and complexity of projects that can be effectively managed simultaneously;
  • economies of scale that can be achieved by bundling similar projects when doing so maximizes resources and is practical;
  • minimize interruptions to the campus environment.

*Please note that all designs/renderings are subject to change.
