Budget Bullet
Provides a combination of 9(d) revenue bond and nongeneral fund authority to renovate the first floor of Dietrick Hall. The project includes creating a modern food service venue by adding 200 indoor seats to the building by enclosing 6,400 square feet of overhang, reorganizing office space for efficiency, and relocating the convenience store to space currently occupied by offices, sitting area, and conference room. In addition, the project includes improvements to the outdoor plaza in front of Dietrick Hall to create additional outdoor seating for dining, serve as informal gathering spaces for the campus community, improve campus circulation, and support special event activities. The 9(d) funding will be supported from the issuance of bonds under the Virginia College Building Authority pooled bond program.
