The University of Manitoba has released its 30-year master capital plan and prioritization framework, which outlines its vision for campus renewal and sustainability. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that an 18-month audit found that half of the university’s buildings are currently in poor condition. Looking to the future, the institution said that it will be taking a more comprehensive approach to its facilities projects and shared its plans to bundle deferred maintenance with major and learning space projects to maximize efficiency. The institution will be retrofitting or entirely replacing some of its infrastructure, such as its aging Elizabeth Dafoe Library, while also embarking on new builds of research facilities and learning spaces.
