Humber Capital Planning and Development
Annual resource planning and development is managed through a number of standing
committees and funds.
1. Capital New Start Fund – Managed by the Finance Department
This is yearly set aside capital funds to cover new program start-up capital costs.
2. College Equipment and Research Fund (CERF) – Managed by the Planning and
Development Office. Funded by MTCU – approximately $800,000 per year.
3. Annual Capital Fund (for equipment) – Managed through the VP Academic Office. For
the last 3 years, Humber has set aside 4 million dollars to support requests from across
the schools for funds for equipment renewal.
4. Facility Renewal Fund – Managed by the Facility Planning Committee. For 2010-2011, 3
million dollars was set aside for the renovation of facilities (classroom and labs).
All plans and expenditures are approved by the Board of Governors.
In addition, each academic school is responsible for conducting an annual review to assess
needed capital items, renewal of resources, and the upgrading of equipment and supplies.
Where resources are shared, such as labs and studio space, priority ranking is higher and costs
are shared among programs. All items are itemized and prioritized by the associate deans and
addressed in priority order. Much of the equipment is replaced on a cyclical basis (i.e., computer
labs). A yearly curriculum review identifies new equipment/capital/space requirements that
programs may have.
Library Resources
Humber has annual budget for library collections. In addition the library receives funds from the
Humber Student Federation, the Office of the VP Academic and the Academic Schools.
Humber is in partnership with the University of New Brunswick for the delivery of a nursing
degree program. There is a separate collections budget for the nursing degree program.
Similarly, there is a separate budget for the collections associated with the joint blended
degree/diploma programs offered with the University of Guelph.
