An RPI Press Release dated December 4 states that the Rensselaer Board of Trustees approved $255 million in spending on new construction for the Troy campus. This press release conclusively answers the question asked of David Haviland by an RCNJ member about the total cost of new construction plans. The question was initially posed at the RCNJ Fall Dinner two weeks ago.

According to the Press Release, "The plan calls for building a center for biotechnology and interdisciplinary studies, a center for electronic media and performing arts, a parking garage, a boiler plant, a chiller plant, and for related improvements to campus landscaping and infrastructure."
