Phase I of the project would cost $5.9 million. This funding was approved during the 2013-14 legislative session in 2014. In this phase we will work to identify needs and resources, as well as work with a design firm and/or architect to develop a plan.
Phase II of the project will focus on the renovation of 82,696 sq.ft. between Cathedral Elementary School building (built in 1929), Wabasha Recreation Center (built in the 1920s) and Wabasha Hall (built in the 1950s). We plan to repurpose and reuse old, vacant buildings, renovating them for shared community, school and university usage that will renew the surrounding neighborhood. This new space will be used to create new specialty labs and classrooms serving all education programs. Phase II will require an additional $25.3 million, for a total estimated project cost of $31.2 million.
