COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - The University of Missouri Board of Curators is meeting Monday in a special session to discuss financing for about $325 million in building projects.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that among the projects under consideration are $18.6 million in revenue bonds for Mark Twain residential hall in Columbia. The university says the residential hall needs immediate attention because of deteriorating conditions.
Curators are also expected to review requests to finance academic buildings on the system's other three campuses.
University of Missouri-Kansas City wants $18 million for a library addition, Missouri S&T wants $43 million for a new chemical and biological engineering building and renovations to the chemistry and biological sciences building, and University of Missouri-St. Louis is seeking $27 million to improve a science complex.
