CNU’s Board of Visitors, a committee of 14 people appointed by the Virginia governor for four-year terms, had their first official meeting of the semester on Sept. 16. The board is in charge of real estate, funds, and appointing president, faculty and personnel. 

On BoardDocs, a “Capital Outlay Program Update” document from the Board of Visitors meeting listed the “Integrated Science Center Phase III (ISC3)/Luter Hall Expansion” as an active project costing $62.1 million. This project was in discussion last semester in previous Board of Visitors meetings. New construction on the building will total 71,500 square feet with an additional 8,300 square feet being renovated.

In addition, a $25.0 million New Administrative Building/CNU North Replacement is in the works. The building is meant to replace the CNU North building that is currently located behind Rappahannock River Hall.

Under completed projects, the university spent $1.0 million to replace the roof of the David Student Union and $500,000 to replace the water heaters and boilers in Commons and Santoro Hall.
