The Florida Board of Governors has approved over $49.93 million in requests for building and improvement projects at Florida State University and Florida A&M University.
The funding requests for 2015-2016 are part of an overall request by the BOG for $416.42 million, some of which have not yet been approved by the group. Included is more than $95 million in PECO funds for maintenance and renovation and repairs.
The FAMU and FSU projects were approved at the BOG’s January meeting.
The projects need approval from the Legislature and if that happens will be included in the state’s annual budget.
The requests include:
$1.4 million for phase two of the FAMU Pharmacy building
$36.1 million for a new FSU Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences building
$6.15 million for FAMU Student Affairs building.
