Gov. Rick Snyder signed legislation Monday granting more than $300 million to Michigan public universities to improve campus construction projects, among which is $30 million toward a bioengineering facility at MSU. MSU will receive the funding toward the research facility near the Life Sciences Building and Clinical Center, which was approved last year by the MSU Board of Trustees and will cost a total of $40 million. The remaining $10 million in funding will come from the general fund, according to Barbara Kranz, director of MSU Facilities Planning and Space Management.
