Rep. Ashford Announces $201K for UT Library Updates
Special to The Truth
This week State Rep. Michael Ashford (D-Toledo) announced
the state Controlling Board approved the release of $201,500
in capital funds to renovate the Carlson Library at the
University of Toledo (UT).
“Student learning areas are at the core of university life,”
said Rep. Ashford. “They are hubs of critical thinking and
collaboration. In order for our students to engage the world
in new and exciting ways, they need the facilities and
technology to make it happen.”
The renovations are part of UT’s Academic Technology and
Renovation project, a multi-phase modernization of academic
buildings and support infrastructure on the university’s
main campus. Today’s announced funding will be used to
complete a multi-floor renovation of the Carlson Library.
The Carlson Library renovation will create new student
learning environments, social hubs for faculty, staff and
students, update technology, modernize computer labs, update
restrooms and make other improvements.
UT announced the project will be contracted by The
Collaborative Inc. of Toledo.
