The University of Connecticut Board of Trustees will meet Wednesday to consider a number of project budgets that include renovations to South Campus, the Engineering Building and a revised budget for the third phase of UConns technology park. <\/p>\n
The board will consider revising the budget for the Innovation Partnership Building to $162 million. The multi-story research facility will be approximately 112,000 square feet and contain labs and offices. <\/p>\n
Construction would be funded by state general obligation bonds, which were approved by the state legislature for the purpose of building a research-oriented technology park on UConns campus. The total bond budget for the project is $172 million. <\/p>\n
Plans to demolish the UConn Health Centers Dowling North and South buildings will also be considered by the board. That project would cost an estimated $1.07 million. Additionally, plans to spend $598,000 to relocate the Anechoic Chamber at the Health Center will be considered. <\/p>\n
A $3 million plan to fix infiltration problems and undertake exterior repairs to South Campus will also be considered. Finally, the board will consider a $92.5 million plan to develop a state of the art laboratory for research in bio-nano engineering, which would be funded by the UConn 2000 capital bond allotment. <\/p>\n
