At their meetings on Feb. 6 and 7, the members of the UW Board of Regents unanimously approved a request to finalize the Meat Science & Animal Biologics Discovery Building. The request will now go before the State Building Commission, which has authority over all state capital projects. Their next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 27, 2020.

Once all final approvals of the new project budget are granted, specific completion schedules will be developed, including target dates for when the new facilities will be open to researchers, students and the public. We look forward to sharing those details with you in a future communication.
