Chadbourne and Barnard residence halls on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus soon will get a facelift, but at a higher price tag than initially expected.
The UW Board of Regents approved a request earlier this month to increase the budget to renovate the two dorms by $1.3 million, bringing the total to about $13.7 million.
To pay for the project, the university will borrow about $10 million and pay it back with money generated by room and board charges. The rest will be paid with cash on hand.
