per the STrib:
The University of Minnesota has begun shopping for a construction company to build its new athletics facilities village, and the latest project budget is $150 million, down from $190 million.
The university released an RFP (request for proposal) for construction last week, and the 560-page document shows the reduced budget, along with a proposed schedule that calls for construction to begin this fall.
Senior Associate Athletics Director Chris Werle said Monday that $65 million has been raised toward the project.
“The [fundraising] campaign is still $190 million, and that won’t change,” Werle said, stressing that $150 million is an estimate. “We’re finding ways to do things more economically and hopefully quicker.”
