Baruch has $98.3 million for the first phase of the project, including about $30 million in state capital funds. “We want to make the facade more open and available to the public and the students,” a Baruch spokesperson told DNAinfo.

The 16-story building will remain open during construction, according to the website. [DNAinfo]  – Hiten Samtani
