How do we get from here…

…to There? Yellowstone Science and Allied Health Building

The Numbers In 2013, estimated cost for an addition & renovation of the Science Building was $15 million. • The 2013 MT Legislature approved $10 million with the remaining $5 million be raised by MSUB. • $10 million is in the long-range planning budget. We must use it in the next 2 years or lose it. • In September of 2016, DSA Architects revised the cost to $18.4 million. • Currently, a bonding bill in the 2017 Montana Legislature includes $5 million for the Science Building project which would bring the state’s investment to $15 million. If the bonding bill is funded, MSUB needs to raise $3.4 million of which $1.5 million is secured. •
