Michigan Governor John Engler signed a bill that approves state funding for Ferris, located here in Big Rapids. The bill specifies that $18 million will go towards the renovation of the university’s current Construction Technology Center and the addition of a 45,000-sq-ft building to house the hvacr program.
The funding will cover 75% of the project; Ferris will have to cover the other $4.5 million. The university is hoping to team up with industry to help with the extra cost.
