Howard University in D.C. said it’s spending $785 million over the next four years to fund a massive surge in new buildings on campus, as well as renovations to existing buildings, too.
Most of the money, $670 million, will be spent to build three new academic buildings, including a new Health Sciences complex, STEM Center, and Center for Arts and Communications. Academic buildings for education, and Howard’s math and science middle school, will also be renovated.
“The significant investment that we’re going to be able to make in academic facilities on this campus is a generational activity for our students, faculty and staff, and our alumni here,” Rashad Young, senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Howard University, said. “It’s one of the most exciting things that we’ve done at this university in a long time.”
The last time Howard built any new academic buildings was 1984.
