The State Bond Commission approved $5.2 million Thursday for the construction of a new public safety building on the CCSU campus. The building would replace the current campus police station.
Design of the building has already been completed and the approval of the funds will allow the construction to begin.
The commission also approved $1 million to allow CCSU complete necessary fire code improvements at Davidson Hall.
In the request made by CCSU it is stated that the project will be 12,500 square feet. The building will house the public safety administration, patrol operations, special services and support service divisions of the campus police.
The project is also supposed to create 90 construction related jobs.
