U of I asks Regents for $88M for renovation

IOWA CITY, Iowa - University of Iowa officials plan to request over $88 million in funding from the Board of Regents later today.

The university wants the money to renovate and update three of the five buildings on the school’s Pentacrest: Macbride Hall, MacLean Hall, and Jessup Hall.

Officials said the buildings have not been updated all that much since they opened more than 100 years ago. The hope is to have all five buildings used for academics.

The funding request would not affect tuition.
