There's No Stopping Expansion at UC-Merced: Budget Crisis or Not


UC Merced marks site for $89m science building

University officials, students, and local and state elected officials convened at the school's library on Friday for a dedication ceremony for the new $88.8 million Science and Engineering Building 2.

The 102,000-square-foot, three-story building will be located across from the Science and Engineering Building. The new building is expected to open its doors in 2014.

Chancellor Steve Kang said the new building "will allow UC Merced to continue to provide exceptional academic and research opportunities." ...

UC Merced was allocated more than $100 million from the state in its 2010-11 budget. Of that amount, $81 million will be used to construct the building.

The rest of the money for the building will come from the university's 2011-12 budget and other sources, including private donations.
