Fire Safety Costs Loom Over Ottawa University Budget
Ottawa University faces about 350000 in next year expenses to meet new state fire and safety rules prompted by a Baker University fire tragedy. OU president Peter Armacost told 425 alumni at the annual banquet that 100000 is needed for residence halls upgrades and 250000 for older and newer campus buildings including the Administration Building, Tony Jones facility, the science building, the Chapel, and the Student Union. He noted the budget remains tight with a 156000 shortfall projected by June 30, hoping for a gift to bolster the endowment rather than the operating fund.
