Tuition freeze certain only for fall semester Construction will begin next spring and should wrap up during summer 2017. The project, which includes modernizing about 8,000 square feet of space in Bessey, will cost $28 million and be funded by state appropriations. A four-story atrium will connect the addition to Bessey Hall. The fourth floor will remain undeveloped for now.
The four-story addition to the east side of Bessey Hall will house undergraduate teaching labs (two floors) and research labs (one floor) for two departments (ecology, evolution and organismal biology, and genetics, development and cell biology), two general university classrooms and support space.
As part of this project, the 90-year-old Industrial Education II building will be demolished this fall. Construction will begin next spring and last about two years. The fifth floor will remain unfinished, pending future needs. It will include space for research and related support, faculty and graduate student offices, teaching labs, formal and informal collaboration, department administration, a plant diagnostic clinic and a lecture hall that's part of the university's classroom inventory. It will house the plant pathology and microbiology department and portions of two others: entomology, and genetics, development and cell biology.
The Advanced Teaching and Research Building, a $52 million facility, will be supported by state appropriations ($22 million), university funds ($20 million) and private gifts ($10 million). Iowa State received the final green light from the state Board of Regents last week to proceed with two biosciences projects - a new five-story teaching/research building north of Lagomarcino Hall and a four-story addition to Bessey Hall. The building's location will be the northwest corner of the Stange Road/Pammel Drive intersection.
