The cost to remodel a University of Montana dorm has doubled due to price increases for materials both locally and nationally. Aber Hall, an 11-story residence facility on the north side of campus, will be home to administrative offices typically found in the Lomasson Center during construction for the new Food Zoo cafeteria. The Montana Board of Regents unanimously approved the cost hike during its July meeting on Thursday. âThis item sets a record for facilities, I am appearing three times in front of the board in nine months â kind of indicative of the construction climate weâre dealing with right now,â said Ron Muffick, director of operations and administration with the Montana University System.
