Campus Builds, Burns, and Reimagines

The Buildings and Grounds Committee just approved a wave of transformative projects — including a $77 million Data Science and Entrepreneurship building, a major fuel switch from coal to natural gas and oil (saving $2.2M/year and slashing emissions), and the demolition of the aging Ivy Road Police Building to make way for a new meadow. They also greenlit the FY27 Major Capital Plan, featuring new athletic fields, road upgrades, and cutting-edge hospital facilities like a new surgery suite and cardiac PET/CT center. Plus, they updated procurement rules to comply with state law and reviewed progress on sustainability initiatives — from food waste grants to staff eco-training and an environmental hackathon — all while pushing forward on modernizing campus infrastructure and reducing environmental impact.
