Aiport construction
The Max B. Swisher airport facilities were discussed during the Nov. 28 Industry Roundtable Discussion on campus - specifically the need for the airport to be capable of accommodating corporate clients.
Jason Knipp, MoDOT representative, outlined changes for the airport which will help the University strive to meet goals established in a 20-year airport master plan. The plan includes airport grants totaling $1.62 million from MoDOT's Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
The grants include $1.35 million for the development of a hangar north of the existing airport terminal and for the construction of a north-south access road that leads to the future terminal site.
Although funds are not yet available, preliminary plans for the terminal include construction of a 139,000-square-foot facility, that would cost more than $2.2 million, not including furnishings.
Photography plans orientation for course abroad
The Department of Photography is offering an orientation class in spring 2008 that will prepare photography students for a nine-day tour in May to Italy and the French Riviera.
The course is for amateurs and students looking to become professional photographers. Students must pay a $300 non-refundable deposit to reserve their seat for the trip. For more information, you may contact Janet Bonsall at 543-4308.
