U of I to fast track fire safety at International Center
University of Iowa officials move International Center fire safety upgrades to top funding priority. Early estimates around 40 000 to 50 000 are under review with possible use of state capital funds or internal building repair money if state money is unavailable. Measures include locked doors after hours and increased campus security patrols amid four suspicious fires since March and a April blaze causing about 250 000 in damage.
