Capital Development Plan: 2013-18 1. Introduction 1.1 Significant capital expenditure has continued across the entire University, both in terms of new build and major refurbishment of the existing estate. The total cost of approved and fully funded building projects is currently in the region of 148m. 1.2 This paper details the University s Capital Development Plan for the period 2013-18 and seeks approval, subject to funding being available, for a number of additional priority developments during this period. 1.3 The attached Schedules provide a detailed breakdown of all planned expenditure in the period on capital projects, together with their associated funding sources. Details of each of the Schedules are set out below: (a) Approved Projects Schedule 1 - outlines the agreed total funding sources for all approved building projects within the current capital programme. Schedule 2 - profiles projected expenditure on each approved project during the planning periods 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-18. Schedule 3 - profiles projected funding during the planning periods 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-18. (b) Priority Projects Schedule 4 - outlines the proposed funding of additional priority projects over the 2013-2018 planning period. Schedule 5 - profiles the expenditure on these priority projects over the 2013-2018 period. Schedule 6 - outlines the projected movement in capital reserves over the planning period if all priority projects are undertaken. 2. Funding of Capital Construction Programme 2.1 Agreed funding sources for each of the existing approved projects are detailed in Schedule 1 and summarised in Table 1 below. Table 1: Total Identified Funding Sources 000 % Internal Funds 78,755 53.3 DEL Capital Grants 23,531 15.9 Foundation, Loans & Other Grants 45,564 30.8 Total 147,850 100.0 2.2 The contribution from internal funds amounts to over half of the capital funding for the period and reflects the University s ongoing commitment to the capital programme. The Integrated Operating Plan 2012-16 is underpinned by a target of investing 5% of the Insurable Replacement Value (IRV) of the estate on core infrastructure on an annual basis, with at least half of this being provided by University funds.
2.3 The DEL Capital Grant funding relates to the HE Capital funding for the Postgraduate and Executive Education Centre, the Ashby refurbishment project and the Student Experience projects. 2.4 Other external funding includes funding from the Foundation for the development of the Health Sciences Campus, capital receipts from the sale of land and buildings, together with funding from BIS, Invest NI and Bombardier for the Northern Ireland Advanced Composites and Engineering Centre (NIACE) and the UKRPIF grant of 10.5m for the Centre for Experimental Medicine. 3. Five Year Capital Expenditure and Funding 3.1 The current estimated profile of approved capital expenditure over the 5 year planning period is detailed in Schedule 2 and summarised in Table 2 below. Table 2: Approved Capital Expenditure Profile Period Expenditure 000 Pre 2013-14 77,923 2013-14 31,832 2014-15 23,759 2015-18 14,336 Total 147,850 3.2 Of the total expenditure of 147.8m, 77.9m will have been incurred on projects in progress by the start of the 2013-14 financial year. The majority of currently approved projects are planned to be completed by the end of 2014-15 with only 14.3m of approved expenditure planned in the 3 year period 2015-16 to 2017-18. 3.3 The majority of the expenditure in the period relates to refurbishment of the Ashby Building, development work on the Health Sciences Campus and a number of accommodation projects. 3.4 The internal contributions to the capital programme of approximately 18m per annum, detailed in Schedule 3, reflect the University s ongoing commitment to the development of its core infrastructure. The external contributions include DEL Capital grants, the UKRPIF grant for the Centre for Experimental Medicine and Foundation funding. 4. Priority Projects for Approval 4.1 Following detailed work to support the Estate Strategy, approval in principle is now being sought to proceed with a number of new capital projects. Approval to proceed with these projects will maintain the momentum of the capital development programme and facilitate attainment of the University s corporate goals. It should be noted that no project will commence until all funding sources have been fully agreed. These projects, together with estimated costs, are detailed in Table 3. 2

Table 4 : Funding of Identified Priority Projects 000 % Internal Funds, including Foundation 111,550 68.4 DEL Capital Grants 38,000 23.3 Loans & Other 13,500 8.3 Total 163,050 100.0 4.3 The assumed DEL capital grant funding, outlined in Table 4 and Schedule 4, includes the 13m balance of grant funding from the HE Capital Programme 2011-15 not yet formally agreed. 25m is projected from the next round of capital grant funding to 2018 and has been provisionally allocated to the delivery of the Main Site Masterplan. 3
4.4 13.5m is the assumed funding from loans and relates to the proposed Residential Accommodation project. The delivery model for this project will be determined following the completion of a detailed business plan. 4.5 An indicative profile of the planned expenditure on the additional priority projects is detailed in Schedule 5. 4.6 The overall impact on capital reserves, following integration of Schedules 2, 3, 4 and 5, is detailed in Schedule 6. With the addition of the proposed priority projects, it is projected that the University will spend approximately 210m on capital developments over the planning period. Based on the projected sources of funding outlined above, the capital reserves balance will reduce to 44.7m by the end of the planning period. 22.9m of this is committed to projects initiated at that time, as detailed in schedule 5. 4.7 It should be noted that the various funding assumptions underpinning this plan, including the projected internal and external contributions to capital, will be subject to review on an annual basis. 4
