Capital Projects Overview
Once a Capital Project is approved a new project code is assigned and set up on Agresso.
Capital Projects fall into two types of projects:
1. Projects that are managed by the Building and Estates office
-
These are typically large Buildings Projects
-
Examples would be the Western Gateway Building and the Maritime and Energy Research Building
-
These projects start with CA**** on Agresso
2. Miscellaneous Equipment Projects
-
These generally fall under HEA PRTLI and other funding programmes
-
These projects start with CM**** on Agresso
All capital projects are linked with a Capital Project Leader, Cost Centre and Authorised Signatory where appropriate.
