Student government offices will be undergoing construction as ASUU begins a three-stage plan to renovate its headquarters in the Union.
Over the years, the Associated Students of the University of Utah have obtained money through in-kind donations from groups it has advertised with, alumni and other sources. These donations will be used to fund the construction.
“No student fees will be used for this project,” said Student Body President Jake Kirkham.
The project will begin within the next three weeks with carpeting and painting in the upstairs offices; ASUU is expected to pay between $13,000 and $15,000 for these jobs.
“Obviously we don’t have enough money to renovate the whole office in one year, so we broke it up into stages,” Kirkham said. “It will be up to next year’s administration to decide whether or not to continue with the renovations.”
