     (c) Anticipate (i) that state bond and building account appropriations continue at the same level during each of the two subsequent fiscal biennia as has actually been appropriated for the baccalaureate institutions during the current one; (ii) that major projects funded for design during a biennium are funded for construction during the subsequent one before state appropriations are provided for new major projects; and (iii) that minor health, safety, code, and preservation projects are funded at the same average level as in recent biennia before state appropriations are provided for new major projects.))
     (b) The board shall develop one prioritized list of capital projects for the legislature to consider that includes all of the projects requested by the four-year institutions of higher education that were scored by the office of financial management pursuant to chapter 43.88D RCW, including projects that were previously scored but not funded.

     (ii) Preserving assets;
     (iii) Degree production; and
     (iv) Maximizing efficient use of instructional space.
     (c) The board shall include all of the capital projects requested by the four-year institutions of higher education, except for the minor works projects, in the prioritized list of capital projects provided to the legislature.

     (ii) Be organized by category;
     (iii) Assume any state bond or building account biennial funding level to prioritize the list; or
     (iv) Assume any specific share of projects by institution in the priority list.
