The UW System Board of Regents approved $8.1 million dollars Friday to renovate and expand UW-Stout's science wing in Jarvis Hall.

The board of regents gave the design report a green light as well. There are two parts to this project remodeling Jarvis Hall and building a three-story addition, to make room for science instruction, research, and classrooms.

If this plan gets building commission approval, construction will begin this summer. It's expected to be done by early 2011.
