ASU Making Plans to Refurbish Campus Buildings
Many of Arizona State University's aging buildings will soon receive a long-overdue fix-up.
The Legislature in June approved $1 billion for building renewal and new construction at the state's three public universities, though nearly half will be spent on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. The Arizona Board of Regents is giving roughly $200 million to ASU.
ASU's School of Construction will get up to $32 million for a new building to house its growing enrollment.
The construction school's new home will meet the highest "green" building standards, James Ernzen, director of the school, has said. Construction professors will use the building to show students first-hand what earth-friendly structures look like and how they work.
University officials are still figuring out precisely which structures on the main campus in Tempe they want to spend their remaining $170 million in maintenance cash.

Matt McElrath - ASU Workforce Initiative
As ASU continues its evolution as a model for the New American University, its advancement and support of a workforce that is focused, empowered and fully engaged in the mission of the institution is more important than ever before. In response to this need, ASU has recently launched a creative, multi-faceted initiative to help its workforce align itself more actively and comprehensively with the innovative model for higher education being advanced at the university.
