Winona State University improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the issuance of up to $78.9 million in state bonds to fund improvements at Winona State University. The funds will be used to demolish two existing buildings, Gildemeister and Watkins Halls, and construct a new academic facility with flexible classrooms, laboratories, and studios. The new building will incorporate sustainable design features and high-performance building strategies. The legislation directs the commissioner of management and budget to sell the bonds and provides the money to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees for implementation.
