The University Of Minnesota Board Of Regents passed the University’s 2014 capital budget request at their monthly meeting Friday.
The request totals nearly $300 million, about $232 million of which would come from the state, to improve campus areas system-wide.
If approved by the Legislature next session, the request would fund six construction projects around the University’s five campuses.
About $100 million of the state’s portion would be used for the general upkeep and maintenance of campus buildings.
