I wanna highlight a couple of our top priorities for additional capital funding.
0:16:41
First, we request 150,000,000 in capital funding for the Allstoss Allied Health and Natural Science building which would deliver a state of the art facility with modernized lab spaces and other instructional space spaces to the Bronx.

And it was one of my last projects when I was president at Allstos.

So I would like to see it come to fruition.

Second, we request 200,000,000 for the state of good repair projects.
0:17:09
As you know, CUNY has set an ambitious goal to bring 55% of our vital building systems into a state of good repair by 02/1930.

We have made some good progress but there is more work to do and the resources are needed to drive the number higher.
