‘The research modernization is just one component of this. U of M is also looking to gain more research funding, and as chief government relations and policy officer Katie VanLandingham noted during the meeting, Governor Bill Lee has proposed that the state give U of M $50 million for a research endowment to maintain R1 status — which U of M would then match dollar-for-dollar, making it a $100 million fund.

And U of M has other capital projects in the works that could support U of M’s R1 efforts, too. During the meeting, chief university planning officer Tony Poteet laid out the school’s five-year capital outlay plan, which, besides the research modernization, includes these facilities:

A $68.41 million interdisciplinary science facility on the main campus, expected to be funded in the 2024-25 year
A $54 million research park — new research facilities west of the main campus — expected to be funded in the 2025-26 year
An $83 million building replacement for Mitchell Hall and Clement Hall, expected to be funded in the 2026-27 year
A $28 million research renovation and physical plant relocation — the school will relocate its plant and use the current facility for research — expected to be funded in 2027-28 year

U of M has also already received funding from the State for two other projects. It’s scored $25 million in state funding for the renovation of the Fogelman College of Business and Economics, which will be paired with $5 million in matching funds from U of M — putting the cost at $30 million.

And it’s received $20 million in state funding for the renovation of Mynders Hall — U of M’s first residence hall, built in 1912 — which, like the Fogelman project, will be paired with $5 million in matching funds from the university. This puts the renovation’s cost at $25 million.”

Is there a link to a "new" Masterplan that reflects some of this ? The one I have saved is so old, it shows the Scheidt Music building being built off of Highland, and I've seen it being constructed on Central replacing some of the parking lot there ..

This is the link to the 2021 board meeting that includes approval of the $600,000,000 capital campaign that will run into 2026 and a copy of the updated Masterplan.

Both, while substantially still accurate, have been updated as indicated in the OP.
