The University wants $100 million in Higher Education Asset Preservation and Replacement fundingâÄì an amount intended for system-wide renovations of University buildings Other projects include: âÄ¢ Folwell Hall renovations: $36.5 million âÄ¢ New American Indian Learning Resource Center on Duluth campus: $10 million âÄ¢ New physics and nanotechnology building on the Twin CitiesâÄô East Bank campus: $80 million âÄ¢ General laboratory renovations: $10 million âÄ¢ Itasca Biological Station: $5.5 million If the request passes the Board of Regents and the state Legislature, the state will pay all of the HEAPR amount, but only two-thirds of the other projects. The University would pay the remaining third, putting the actual request from the Legislature at $194.7 million.
