WINONA, Minn. – The dual-campus Southeast State College has lots on the line — $14.6 million – in the state budget proposed by Governor Tim Walz. The gbvernir ha asked Legislature for the money for modernization project. These include designing and renovating existing spaces, including classrooms, labs and student service areas. The projects would improve nursing, health science, radiology and cosmetology spaces, while also creating a multi-cultural diversity center and integrated student services spaces. Trustees of the Minnesota State colleges system have calculated the renovations would reduce the college’s deferred maintenance costs by $1.4 million at the Red Wing and Winona campuses. The projects are on the agenda of the Legislature, which convenes next week for its once-every-second-year session on state construction spendings.
