Capital Bonding
Capital Bonding Bill

Overall, the bonding package is good for the University of Minnesota, although we had hoped for a better outcome for the Bell Museum project and Classroom Improvement funding, which were vetoed by the Governor. The University received support for a host of highly important projects and maintenance programs:

  • HEAPR (maintenance): $35 million
  • Science Teaching and Student Services Building: $48.3 million
  • Civil Engineering, UMD: $10 million
  • Gateway Center, UMM: $5 million
  • Laboratory Renovations: $3.3 million
  • Research and Outreach Centers: $3.5 million

The University received $105 million of the state’s 2008 capital bonding funds .
