New residence hall approved; bonds available for purchase
On Dec. 11, the University Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new residence hall complex to house approximately 525 students in suite-style living. A new dining facility with a seating capacity of up to 800—and a "green" roof with recreation space—is included in the plans and replaces the Hoff Marketplace dining hall in the Cintas Center. The new complex totals 240,000 square feet and will be ready for occupation in the fall of 2011. The project is undertaken in response to increased student demand and is designed primarily for sophomore housing.
To fund the project, the University is issuing approximately $48 million in tax exempt bonds through the State of Ohio Higher Educational Facility Commission on Thursday, Jan. 14. Alumni interested in purchasing bonds for the project can get details here. |
