Popular University of Kentucky building undergoing $80 million remodel

LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWSNOW) — White Hall will be closed for the next couple of years while it undergoes an $80 million remodel.

The building is home to 56 classrooms and is a very common place for students to attend lectures.

Vice President of Facilities Management at UK,

Mary Vosovich, says the building hosted a wide variety of different classes.

“Everybody that goes to school here has probably had a least one class in this building,” Vosovich says.

Now, those students will have to go to different buildings across campus while the building is under construction.

White Hall is one of many buildings Vosovich says will be remodeled.

“We have a program on campus called ‘modernization’ where we’re looking at some of our older buildings and trying to redo them,” she said.

The remodel is estimated to take two years.
