PROJECT TO BUILD THE CAMPUS’S FIRST PARKING STRUCTURE IS APPROVED

That’s why the WCU Board of Trustees in September unanimously approved a design for a structured parking facility on an existing surface lot between Ramsey Regional Activity Center and Hennon Stadium, as well as the issuance of special obligation bonds to finance its construction.
