(KLZA)-- Peru State College is about to reach the two-million dollar fundraising milestone for Project ROAR which is a campaign to build five new health and wellness-related facilities on the Peru State campus.
Construction has begun on the first two buildings, the Recreation Dome and the Diamond Building. Construction is expected to take about 18 months with plans to open the two buildings in the spring of 2025.
The costs for Project ROAR are now estimated at $15 million, up slightly from the initial projections due to rising construction costs. Peru State has received $8.3 million from the State and saved approximately $2.4 million from its budget, leaving a bit over $4 million needed from fundraising efforts.
Project ROAR is the first construction of all-new building son the Peru State campus since 1980 and is the largest construction project in the history of the college.
