Regents approve five year plan for 134.4 million in university maintenance funds
The Kansas Board of Regents approved a five year plan to allocate 134.4 million for university maintenance from the legislature. Without more funds the deferred maintenance will worsen. KU projects include 8.8 million for tunnels, 4.9 million for Wescoe Hall air systems, and 13.2 million for heating and cooling across several buildings. Most of the 11.7 million for KU Medical Center targets Applegate Energy Center repairs. Regents seek an additional 56.4 million next year while urging accountability and continued investment to prevent further decay of state facilities.
