for adjudication:
In Step 1 of the application form, the department will provide
information about the Project, space allocation, and
departmental authorization.
(If the Space is not part of the department’s space allocation, the
department must complete a Space Application Form to be
submitted to the Space Planning Committee. The CDD Project

Committee approves the Space application)

In accordance with the Policy on Capital Planning and Capital Projects, the
chief considerations of assigning priorities for funding are the merit of each
request in relation to officially stated plans and priorities for UTSC, and the
overall benefit of the proposed project for the Campus. Within this
framework, the following hierarchy of criteria will be used to rank proposals
for renovation:
a. Projects that enhance existing instructional and research programs
b. Projects that make possible new instructional and research programs
c. Projects that improve the efficiency of existing administrative and student
services
d. Projects that make possible new or additional administrative and student
services
