MSU board to vote on first-gen student center, splitting $330M energy project
Michigan State University’s Board of Trustees will vote Friday, April 10, on whether to split a $330 million infrastructure project into two parts. The board will also vote on creating a resource center for first-generation students housed within the university’s main administrative office and a land donation in the Upper Peninsula. The agenda item states that, as plans have become more defined, separating the infrastructure projects would allow for flexibility in securing federal tax credits and financing.The water plant would provide water to the upcoming $180 million Engineering and Design Innovation Center which the board approved the funds for the fall, in addition to aging buildings on campus. The plant would cost $145 million and would be completed by the end of 2026. The $185 million combined heat and power unit would generate electricity and replace roughly 80% of steam capacity that was lost when one boiler at the power plant was shut down in 2022. Overall, the two projects will cost a combined $330 million. The projects will be funded through a mix of federal tax credits, university reserves and debt, with some costs expected to be offset by long-term energy savings.
