SUCF Projects: SUNY Construction and Funding Data

Beginning in 1989, this dataset lists capital projects funded through the State University Construction Fund (SUCF) for the State University of New York (SUNY) system. It tracks project phases, status, timelines, and management across campuses and economic development regions. The data is published by the State of New York and appears on multiple government data platforms.

Use Cases

• Tracking project timelines and delays using Start Date, Target Date, and Project Status.
• Analyzing capital allocation across SUNY campuses using the Campus and Economic Development Region columns.
• Monitoring project management responsibility using the Managed by SUCF and Project Phase fields.
• Auditing project purposes and descriptions using the Purpose and Description columns for transparency.

Strengths

• Provides a long-term view with data beginning in 1989.
• Includes detailed administrative tracking fields like Project Number, Phase, and Status.
• Is published by an official government source (data.ny.gov) and appears on multiple platforms, suggesting institutional importance.

Limitations

• Key metadata like row count, file size, and license are not provided by any source.
• There is a conflict in the 'last updated' date between platforms (2026-05-01 vs. 2026-04-04).
• The dataset description is identical across sources, indicating potential reliance on a single upstream feed without platform-specific enhancements.
