Anyway, I was mulling over campus projects that have been completed, been ongoing, or coming up. Overall, there's not a lot of construction happening on campus right now - DHall is the main spot. Hotel Madison, if you can count that, but it's not a University project. But next year, man, there's some big major projects coming up.

Finished in the last year:
Madison Hall (former cancer center). $24.5M
Mason/MLK/Main st parking deck. $20M
UREC expansion/reno. $57M
CHBS $57M

Current projects:
2016-2017 JMU Farm renovation.
2016-2018 D-Hall. ~$81M
2017 Sonner Hall Reno (ongoing).
2016-2017 University Services Annex (Grace Street)
2016-2018. Hotel Madison (though not a University construction project)

Upcoming:
Summer 2017: HHS partial renovation, demolition of Grace St house (formerly the graduate school HQ).
Dec 2017: West campus parking deck (on Grace Street). $12M
Jan 2018: Wilson Hall renovation. $20M
March 2018: Convocation Center & parking deck $88M
April 2018: Dormitory (500 bed, located on/near the old softball field). $40M
May 2018: Demolition of Chandler Hall, & CoB Learning Complex construction. $65M
May 2018: Demolition and reconstruction of Phillips Hall/PC Dukes. $35M


I probably left some out, but these are the ones I can think of that have budgets and tentative dates.

Technically the conference center that's connected to the hotel is (or will be) owned by JMU, so its fair to say the hotel is a joint university/private project. And it certainly would not be happening if the university was not involved as the land the hotel sits on is owned by JMU.
