Murray, KY – Murray State University officials have three major construction projects they want the state to fund next year. MSU President Randy Dunn and other university officials presented their projects today at a Capital Planning Advisory Board meeting in Murray. An Engineering and Physics complex, a new library, and a regional campus in Paducah top the list. The library is the most expensive project at $58 million. Dunn says in 2007, a study ranked the current library facilities as two of the worst buildings on campus. A $30 million Engineering and Physics building would complete a science complex that has been ongoing for 12 years. Dunn says an alternative would be updating the program's current technologies. Murray's Engineering Physics program is one of only 20 accredited programs in the nation. The Advisory Board will make funding recommendations to the 2011 General Assembly.
