ITHACA, N.Y. ---- The Cornell University Board of Trustees today (Jan. 26) approved a recommendation to place the proposed $110 million Life Sciences Technology facility on the west end of Alumni Field, on the university's central campus. The action by the board was taken subsequent to the prior approval of the proposed site by the board's Buildings and Properties Committee at its meeting Jan. 24. The committee added an amendment that requested the university administration to develop both short-term and long-term plans for athletic facilities and to replace two varsity practice fields lost to the construction with two new practice fields of superior quality. When the project is completed, one practice field on Alumni Field will be restored to athletics, with a net increase in the number of practice fields from two to three. (January 28, 2002)
