Legislative Update - UH Maintenance and Repair Money

Supplemental Budget HB2500 HD1SD1 passes the Senate.

Contained within is funding for repair and maintenance along with funding for new facilities on a number of campuses. Of practical concern is the inability to move students and faculty to lab facilities while existing buildings undergo repair. Both the House and Senate added facility items including a Creative Media Center at West Oahu and repair of Cooke Field and Murakami Stadium at Manoa. A complete list of facilities addressed is found within the text of the supplemental budget document.
