From The Raleigh News & Observer: At the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, workers are putting the final touches on a 160,000-square-foot monument to scientific exploration. The $92 million New Venable Hall building will offer expanded, high-tech classrooms, offices and labs. That's assuming the state can afford to open it. the science building is one of 17 new state university facilities across North Carolina that may not open as expected this year or next if the state can't provide the money to operate them.
