CHADRON – During its Nov. 10 meeting, the Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees approved two requests from Chadron State College.
The first request was for Crites Hall and the remaining West Court Housing building, to be removed from the Revenue Bond System. Crites Hall was part of the System when bonds were issued for it in 1937 and West Court was part of the System when bonds were issued for it in 1961, but the bonds on both buildings have been paid in full. Crites Hall once functioned as a student residence hall and West Court Housing once functioned as family student housing. Crites Hall shifted to predominantly state use as a student services facility years ago and the majority of the West Court buildings were demolished in 2017-2019 with the one remaining building shifted to state use, first as a veteran center, and currently as an art classroom.
In other business, the Board approved CSC’s request to use up to $800,000 in uncommitted cash funds to complete the Coffee Agriculture Pavilion as originally intended. The Pavilion was built in 2013 and designed to include an extended roof structure on the east end of the facility allowing for the planned expansion of the arena when funds became available.
The next Board meeting is Jan. 12.
