1. CASE STUDY:
UNIVERSITY OF DENVER

2. University of Denver Campus Profile
University of Denver is the
oldest and largest private
university in the Rocky
Mountain region of the
United States.
• Founded: 1864
• Located: Denver, Colorado
• Number of Buildings: 120
• Total GSF: 4,710,000
• Number of Students:
10,408

3. Policies and Strategies to Manage Facility Challenges
• Increase Stewardship
• Increase Planned Maintenance
• Define the backlog of deferred projects
• Use building portfolios to define and manage
capital investments

5. Strategy – Create a Funding Plan (1 of 2)
• A 5 year funding plan
was created, repairs
outside the 5 year period
were not considered.
• Funding for repairs is
based on a building’s
classification, with
funding for transitional
buildings only on a “as
needed” basis.
• Parking structure
maintenance was
budgeted for in the
parking office budget,
outside of facilities.

•Funding at the targeted $12.8 million level was not achieved immediately, but built up to over a
period of time.
•Not all the funding was achieved through the operating budget, some funding was taken from end
of year dollars and other one-time funding.
•Funding for “Program Improvements” was assumed to come from individual units through their
“gainshare” funds.

9. New Buildings & Renovations Set Stage for Building
Repairs (3 of 3)
• Capital expenditures for new
construction and reinvestment have
exceeded the stewardship standard
for all years shown.
• The new buildings add additional
square footage to the campus and
their technical complexity makes
them more expensive buildings to
maintain than the buildings that they
replaced. As these buildings age they
will put increasing demands on the
Facility investment needs of the
University.
• In the past 13 years, the University
has spent over $339 million on new
construction and reinvested another
$144 million in existing buildings.
• The $27 million that was reinvested
into buildings in FY 12 is the highest
amount in the past 13 years. This is
due in large part to the $12.6 million
that was spent on the Academic
Commons project.
