Just before Thanksgiving, the ASUO got word that the EMU remodeling is on track to begin. Because the administration raised an additional ten million dollars, the construction will cost students $69 per term as opposed to the original estimate of $100. Construction crews are scheduled to break ground in two years. Portions of the EMU will remain open throughout the construction process. The new plans include a more open floor plan with an increase in square footage. Construction is expected to be completed by 2016.
