NW Admin building sees facelift
Holtman Masonry workers are in the process of replacing the south gable above the west wing of the Northwest Missouri State University Administration Building. The work is part of a $3.4 million rehabilitation project for the historic structure.
Crews from Holtman Masonry have been working through the month of July on a facelift project around the exterior of the Northwest Missouri State University Administration Building.
The crews are working on phase one of a repair project, replacing the south gable above the west wing along with a few other structural repairs.
Holtman Masonry is a subcontractor to E.L. Crawford Construction Inc. of St. Joseph, who was awarded the $3.4 million project which will continue through late spring 2017.
The university’s board of regents approved the historic project in May.
The repairs are funded, in part, through nearly $6.9 million awarded to Northwest through Building Affordability, an initiative of Gov. Jay Nixon passed last year by the General Assembly in collaboration with public colleges and universities.
State legislators passed an additional $1 million in appropriations this spring to assist with the administration building repairs.
As part of the project, Northwest plans to replace all 326 windows in the administration building.
