As summer inches closer, the University of Idaho moves closer to solidifying plans to break ground on the latest campus addition.
The Idaho State Board of Education voted unanimously March 14 to approve the University of Idaho’s funding request to build the planned Idaho Central Credit Union Arena.
The project is contingent on approval from State Board Executive Director Matt Freeman in consultation with the new UI president, who will be named by April.
In approving the agenda item, the Board approved UI’s total budget of $46 million to construct the facility, allowing the university to move forward with the bidding and construction phases of the project.
