MU is one step closer to breaking ground on its top building priority — the Translational Precision Medicine Complex.
The UM System Board of Curators met Friday and approved preliminary plans for each of the four campuses — Columbia, Rolla, St. Louis and Kansas City, as well as MU Health Care. At its March 2018 meeting, the board will vote on final approval for the projects.
