The Cowley College Board of Trustees approved Conco Construction to begin the design and engineering phase for the Student Housing Project on the Sumner Campus during a special meeting held Wednesday in the McAtee Dining Center. Approval of the design and engineering will allow for an expedited construction delivery schedule, as well as additional time to manage the design impact on construction cost. The cost which is not to exceed $84,500 includes the first month of architectural design and engineering, geotech report, certified survey, platting and civil engineering. Also, during the special meeting the Board approved the Board minutes from the July 19 meeting and approved a 2021-2022 amended operating budget of $25,317,010.
