  Chemistry building receives final approval from Board of Regents
  
  

• The Board of Regents, State of Iowa, approved the schematic design and budget ($74.5 million for Iowa State University's new chemistry facility earlier this week. This gives the university the final green light to proceed with construction plans.
  
  As approved, the "chemistry facilities building" will be constructed north of Davidson Hall, on the current site of the Industrial Education I building and an ag engineering shed.
  
  At 82,000 net square feet on four levels (one below ground for research sensitive to light and vibration), the building will house state-of-the-art classrooms, labs and equipment to support research and teaching in the Department of Chemistry.
  
  The building will be paid for with academic building revenue bonds sold by the Board of Regents ($53.9 million), private gifts and other funds totaling $15.6 million, and a $5 million state appropriation from last year to begin planning and hire architects.
