Project Example - Building new Research Complex at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Remodeling Biochemistry lab into computer lab.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure - steam, chilled water, natural gas, electricity, water supply, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, telecommunications, open space and landscaping, pedestrian circulation and access systems, vehicular access systems, public transportation (light rail, shuttles; both on-site and inter-campus), parking and demolition. Infrastructure projects can be either capital construction or controlled maintenance projects.

Controlled Maintenance
Controlled Maintenance - corrective repairs or replacement used for existing state-owned, general-funded buildings and other physical facilities, including but not limited to, utilities and site improvements, which are suitable for retention and use for at least five years, and replacement and repair of the fixed equipment necessary for the operation of such facilities, when such work is not funded in an agency's operating budget to be accomplished by the agency's physical plant staff.
