We are pleased to announce that the Kummer Missouri S&T Foundation Board of Directors has voted to approve financial support of up to $112 million for the proposed Missouri S&T Bioplex facility and the overall Bio Innovation Initiative. While this is an exciting and critical step in advancing Missouri S&T’s leadership in life sciences and technological innovation, it is important to note that the project has not yet been approved.
Next, we will be presenting the project to the University of Missouri Board of Curators for consideration and approval at their meeting on Wednesday, November 20, at the University of Missouri – St. Louis.
We extend a sincere thank you to the Kummer Missouri S&T Foundation Board of Directors and the Kummer Institute Finance Committee for their support and dedication in researching and advancing this initiative. We look forward to the next steps and the impact of this project.
