Residence Hall Renovations on Agenda
For more information on this story contact:
October 6, 2003 -- The Board of Control is scheduled to act Oct. 7 on a proposed bond issue to fund $31.3 million in renovations to Wadsworth Hall.
The $35.2-million bond, which also covers bond insurance and other expenses, would fund improvements to the electrical and fire-protection systems in the 1,160-bed residence hall. The renovation also includes extensive modernization of the hall's living facilities.
If the board approves the bond issue, the renovation would begin in May 2004 and take two years to complete. Wadsworth Hall was originally constructed in 1955, with additions in 1961 and 1966. The renovations will be completed in several phases so that no more than 200 beds will be taken out of use at any given time.
The meeting begins 9 a.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom. Board of Control meetings are open to the public, and all members of the MTU community are welcome.
