Science Building Groundbreaking - 12-2-09

Illinois Gov. Patrick Quinn, flanked by administrators, lawmakers and developers turned dirt during a groundbreaking ceremony, ushering the building phase of the new Science Building Complex on the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus. For more than a decade, SIUE has planned and offered annual presentations to the state legislature in support of a new facility, as well as revisions to the existing Science Building. Last year, the University was promised $78.9 million from the Illinois General Assembly, as part of the Illinois Jobs Now bill, which is a statewide package signed by the governor and projected to be worth about $31 billion.
