MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho State Board of Education approved a University of Idaho proposal to build a 150 bed residence hall on Thursday.
According to the state board, the project will cost up to $12 million in funding during the planning and design phase.
Housing is a persistent challenge for University of Idaho, which currently leases a motel near campus to keep up with demand.
