From the meeting
USF updated the Marine Science Laboratory reinvestment and rebuild authorization to $14,750,000 after the fire at the St. Petersburg campus. The new plan combines recovery, demolition, planning, design, engineering, and replacement equipment for a future Environmental and Oceanographic Sciences facility.
The university said the effort should take about 12 months before it returns for the full project budget and construction approval. This is a strong pre-construction and recovery signal tied to a damaged asset.
