NORMAL – Illinois State University’s Board of Trustees on Friday approved 3.48 million dollars in renovations to Milner Library.
The project involves replacing the library plaza, repairs to the exterior and renovation of the restrooms. ISU President Larry Dietz said the plaza work is of particular importance. It serves as a roof for the library’s first floor and water leakage has been causing damage for years.
“We also will do some renovation of the restroom facilities inside of the building,” said Dietz. “It’s not really a renovation of the building, per say, it’s really solving some problems with all of that leakage that allows us to use current space better.”
Some repairs to the exterior is also planned.
Funding for the project comes from certificates of participation the board approved in 2014 for facilities upgrades. Dietz said there is not yet a set timeline for the project.
