SIU Trustees Approve SIUE Master Facilities Plan
The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees at its regularly scheduled meeting on the Edwardsville campus Thursday, Sept. 10, approved Facilities Master Plan 3 for SIUE. The board also gave project and budget approval to replace the Woodland Residence Hall roof.
SIUE’s Facilities Master Plan 3 identifies options regarding the future use of campus parcels and serves as a road map for future campus development by identifying potential buildings and sites. The plan is a 10-year projection for the campus that is consistent with the original vision for the University.
Projects to be considered in the future include: an academic performing arts complex; an engineering student project building; a student success/multicultural/ITS computing center; a health sciences complex; a science building north; an admissions building and welcome center, and more.
The board approved the Woodland Residence Hall roof project at an estimated cost of $1,531,000 to be funded from the SIUE Housing Repair and Replacement fund. The 20-year-old roof is nearing the end of its life expectancy and warranty time.
