LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas Memorial Union is proposing a $45 million renovation, and asking for a fee increase.
Kansas students will vote this spring on whether to add the 30-year $50 per semester student fee to pay for the union renovations. Union leaders say the work is needed to upgrade aging mechanical systems and improve the union’s studying, dining and community spaces.
Lisa Kring, director of building and event services for the Memorial Union, said the building has nearly 2 million visitors a year.
