University of Missouri renovates administrative office

From The Columbia Daily Tribune: The University of Missouri System is carrying out a $1.5 million renovation of its administrative office at a time when 48 percent of the buildings on the system’s four campuses are in bad shape, and nearly $37 million worth of projects are deemed critical, officials say. Most of the upgrades are needed to bring the building up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards. At a recent meeting of the university's chapter of American Association of University Professors, members questioned the timing of the project.
