Fine-Tuning the CMU Renovation Plans
Admittedly, it has been some time since we’ve shared new information about the CMU Renovation. So, let us give you an update on where we’re at with the project.
First, we are in the fine-tuning stage of the project plans. This means that we are closely examining the project, making sure we are in alignment with our budget, the goals of the project, and our vision for the Comstock Memorial Union. We have had a variety of professionals on-site to complete visual inspections of the current structure as they work through details like fire protection, walls, and more.
Second, we are still moving forward with our plans to participate in the bond sale, which is basically like our department taking out a mortgage to pay for part of the project. We currently have $4.5 million in savings for the project. The amount we have saved is truly a testament to the Dragon way of “paying it forward,” because the funds have come from past Dragons’ willingness to contribute to the project through student fees.
We are excited to continue moving forward with the project with support from students and administrators alike.
