DeKALB – NIU received $8.9 million in April for structural repairs by the Illinois Capital Development Board. The money will be used towards repairs, exterior improvements and roof replacements.
The main areas of concern involve the replacement of the roof on the Swen Parson building and repairing water infiltration and cracks in the walls of the College of Visual and Performing Arts building, said John Heckmann, associate vice president for Facilities Management and Campus Services.
“Having a building that we can have confidence in that it will be watertight and continue to support the classes and other activities in the buildings is important and that’s what these repair projects are going to allow us to do,” Heckmann said.
