Humber’s 2013-2018 Strategic Plan calls for the development of a number of collaborative processes that will aid the college in supporting the success of our students. Outlined in the Strategic Plan is one of the foundations for success is the goal of enhancing strategic investments in infrastructure and key priority initiatives that deliver results for improved student learning and success. One of the initiatives recently set into motion that will help us to achieve this goal is the establishment of a committee that will address issues related to capital development projects and major renovations. 

We would like to announce that a cross-functioning Capital Planning Steering Committee (CPSC) has been formed. The responsibilities of this committee will include reviewing and renewing the Campus Development Principles; updating the Long Term Capital Plan; receiving and considering strategic projects to be completed as part of the Capital Plan; evaluating and recommending long term capital fund requirements and expenditures; establishing project steering committees; reviewing, commenting on and disseminating project progress reports for all major projects; maintaining the progress and successful completion of projects; and developing a strategic real estate plan.

It is expected that the activities of the CPSC should advance the outcomes of other committee processes by addressing long-term capacity needs to facilitate the Strategic Enrolment Plan; prioritizing major capital projects; identifying and developing strategies for Short and Long Term capital needs for the budget planning process; and providing oversight for all major projects to ensure that the Campus Development Plan is implemented with the appropriate collaboration, communication and fiscal responsibility.

The membership of the CPSC was determined based on institutional role. In cases where multiple, similar positions exist (i.e. dean, associate dean and faculty members), representatives were selected by the co-chairs after a nomination process. 

The Capital Planning Steering Committee is comprised of the individuals listed below.
