In terms of money, ISELF will be the largest single construction project in the history of MnSCU. The 100,000 square-foot research and teaching facility will be built on the site of the current 801 building.
It’s the final phase of a three-part Science Initiative, which included the $14.5 million Wick Science Building and the $13.6 million renovation of Brown Hall — both of those projects were completed in 2009.
