This project provides funding for the capital renewal and major renovation of College facilities for new and changing College academic programs and student service operations. The major focus of this project is to support programmatic changes to College facilities and operations by allowing the College to continue an on-going building modernization effort where State aid is lacking. With this project, the College will selectively focus State aid requests on high cost projects utilizing these County funds to support an on-going renovation effort on each campus. In conjunction with programmatic improvements and modifications, this project will replace aging building systems, such as heating, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, etc., provide furniture, fixtures, and equipment; and update facilities to current building codes and regulations.

Increase due to addition of FY31 and FY32 funding requests.

Starting FY2009, the County approved funding several renovation projects from the Capital Renewal project. These renovation projects were less likely to receive funding from the State, and as a result five projects at that time were merged into the Capital Renewal project. In November 2007, the College updated a comprehensive building system/equipment assessment, including site utilities and improvements, that identified deficiencies, prioritized replacements and upgrades, and provides the framework for implementing a systematic capital renewal program to complement on-going preventive maintenance efforts. The College continues to have a significant backlog of major building systems and equipment renovations and/or replacements due to the age of the Campuses and deferral of major equipment replacement. Key components of the HVAC, mechanical and electrical systems are outdated, energy inefficient, and costly to continue to repair. The renovation and/or replacement of major building systems, building components and equipment, and site improvements will significantly extend the useful life of the College's buildings and correct safety and environmental problems. The Collegewide Facilities Condition Assessment identified a $104 million deferred maintenance backlog over the next five years, for the three campuses. The total deferred maintenance backlog totals $345 million. If additional financial resources are not directed at this problem, College facilities will continue to deteriorate leading to higher cost renovations or building replacements. Related studies include the Montgomery College Strategic Plan. Collegewide Facilities Condition Assessment (1/23), and Collegewide Facilities Master Plan (1/24), and Collegewide Utilities Master Plan (6/22).
