KU to Rebuild Burge Union with 31-Year Student Fee Boost
Kansas University's Burge Union will be torn down and rebuilt by fall 2018. The Student Senate approved a campus fee starting next year and lasting 31 years to fund the project, raising the renovation fee from 13.80 to 18.70 per year. The plan aims to fund about two thirds of costs and create a stable revenue stream, with KU Memorial Unions director David Mucci noting the Westward shift of campus and Burge's central role.
