With 85 capital projects underway on the University's campuses - and many more to come - it will require a scorecard to keep track of UConn 2000 and other construction and renovation projects.

With the pace quickening, the University community can expect more activity in the months ahead as the total costs of ongoing projects reach more than $500 million.

"It's come to a point where you can't keep it all in your head - and it's going to get worse," said Dale Dreyfuss, senior associate vice president for finance and administration.

So far UConn 2000 projects have been on time and within budget - or even early, as in the case of seating expansion at Gampel Pavilion. The exception is the new downtown Stamford campus, where asbestos and lead-paint problems have delayed the opening.

The most visible UConn 2000 project so far is the new chemistry building, which is rising next to Swan Lake. And and 10 a.m. May 7, University officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the new South Campus residences and dining hall.
