Construction - the process of adding structure to real property by acquiring and assembling the components of buildings or other physical improvements.

Renovation- construction to modify, alter or change an existing building for the purpose of adaptive reuse, reconstruction or restoration and may include modification of any or all building systems.

State Funds or State Money- shall not include federal funds or insurance proceeds for the construction, replacement, renovation, or improvement of a state building damaged by a natural catastrophe when conditions governing the expenditure of such monies specifically preclude their use for the utilization and implementation of universal design features, nor shall it include state monies used as a match for such federal funds or insurance proceeds.

Universal Design- as more fully defined in the attached list of Principles of Universal Design, means certain design features that are not currently required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
