A $124.5 million bond package will finance upgrades and new buildings on the Colorado State University campus, including improvements for the school’s signature Animal Sciences program.
CSU’s Board of Governors approved the bond sale Wednesday; the sale is planned for spring.
The total bond package includes:
• $7.5 million for a partial renovation of the Animal Sciences Building to prepare for future expansion and facility enhancement.
• $60 million for the renovation of the 50-year-old Lory Student Center.
• $57 million for a new housing development and renovation of the existing Durrell Center that will accommodate more than 600 students.
Students voted to increase their fees by $70 per semester — or $140 a year — to pay for the majority of the Lory Student Center renovation, and students who live in the new housing development will pay for that facility, CSU spokeswoman Emily Wilm sen said. The fee increases will go into effect in the fall of 2014, when the project is scheduled to be finished.
