Each year the Division of Facilities Management (DFM) provides the Capital Improvement Report which summaries the capital works delivered across Charles Sturt University. The current Capital Plan sees us transition from predominantly a new build focus (strongly supported by Government Grants funding) to a more refurbishment and adaptive reuse focus.
Historically there have been some fabulous transformations of old and existing spaces into new generation learning spaces and we look forward to continuing this work in coming years.
We trust you will enjoy these publications and the summary of the capital works that have been delivered within CSU. Further detailed information for each of these projects is available on request.
2020 has been an extremely challenging year across the globe; however the Division of Facilities Management is proud to present a summary of the Capital Works that were delivered by the Division during 2020. This publication highlights some of the significant or major projects that were completed during the calendar year, along with many business-as-usual activities and general maintenance works that were undertaken by our campus operations and campus development teams. Although Charles Sturt’s capital budget was severely impacted during 2020 due to the global pandemic, the campus development team continued to plan and deliver some strategically important student focused projects. There are still a number currently in construction due for completion in 2021.
The 2019 Capital Works Project Summary highlights those major projects completed during the calendar year, with many more still in the delivery phase. While the overall project listing is not as extensive in terms of previous years, the annual expenditure has increased in line with the Capital Plan allocation.
Student and Campus amenity was significantly improved with extensive works in our student residences and external facilities. The brand refresh has created some significant opportunities for all our capital projects and our design teams have relished the challenge of incorporating the brand elements into our refurbishments and new buildings. Our commitment to sustainability has strengthened and Learning and Teaching space improvements have continued.
The summary of the 2018 Capital Works Projects delivered by the Division of Facilities Management continues to report the trend established in 2017 where we saw an increased number of smaller projects.
Overall we completed in excess of 100 jobs for a total Capital expenditure of approximately $50million for the year, which was less than initially planned.

The 2015–2019 Capital Plan is well under-way which sees us transition from predominantly a new build focus (strongly supported by Government Grants (funding) to a more refurbishment and adaptive reuse focus.
This transition places more emphasis on analysis and review of existing facilities and overlaying new Learning and Teaching directions.
