been established to meet the needs of
disabled students since existing
courses were not suitable or no course

CAPITAL BUDGET - NEW WESTMINSTER
PERMANENT CAMPUS:

While we have not yet received final
word on our capital budget allocation
from Treasury Board, we are reasonably
sure that the amount will be as per

the recommendation to Treasury Board

by the Management Advisory Council, i.e.
$2.9 Million. Of the $2.9 Million,

$1.0 Million (approximately) has already
been spent on: Sciences Labs, Food
Services Equipment (Kitchen), and
Telephones. All of these items were
considered by FES and the Project
Development Committee to be building-
essential.

What we expect to get from Treasury
Board is approximately 40% of what we
requested. By applying the same per-
centage to Users' Group requests, we
are able to allocate for expenditure
by your Divisions the following
amounts:

Applied Programs $521,348
