Boise State University will begin construction on the $37 million Micron Business and Economics Building in summer of 2010. Designed by Hummel Architects, the 110,000-sf facility will house advanced classrooms, a 250-seat lecture hall, research space, a financial trading room, and a student commons. The sustainably designed project will utilize geothermal heating and natural lighting and is expected to consume 40 percent less energy than a comparable conventional structure. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2012.
