State University Construction Fund

Mission

The State University Construction Fund (SUCF) is a public benefit corporation established in 1962 to serve as the construction agent for academic, hospital and student services facilities at State-operated institutions and statutory colleges under the jurisdiction of the State University of New York (SUNY). Consistent with the State University’s Master Capital Construction Plan, the Fund oversees construction, acquisition, reconstruction and rehabilitation or improvement of such facilities.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $25.1 million for the SUCF. This is a decrease of $1.1 million from available 2011-12 funding levels. The decrease primarily reflects reductions to personal service costs as a result of more closely aligning funding with current fill levels. The funding levels recommended for 2012-13 will provide resources to address the design, planning and construction management workload of SUNY’s ongoing capital plan.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 152 FTEs for the SUCF, which is consistent with their workforce levels from 2011-12.

The Executive Budget reflects a change in the funding source of the SUCF. In previous years, operating costs of the SUCF have been supported from bond proceeds, sold by the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, which have added to the State’s outstanding debt. The Executive Budget shifts the funding source from bond proceeds to the State’s General Fund and SUCF operating costs will now be reflected in the SUNY capital budget.
