NW Arkansas College Asking To Build $3 Million Events Site

University of Arkansas

A northwest Arkansas university is asking its board of trustees to approve a nearly $3 million garden and conservatory project.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the privately funded project proposed by the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville would be on the grounds of the chancellor's residence.

According to documents given to the UA System trustees board, the Fowler House Garden and Conservatory project would include a structure designed for events like seated dinners and receptions.

The college is also seeking the approval of about $1 million in reserve property-purchase funds to buy more than a half-acre of land to build a parking lot near the planned facility.

The trustees board meets Thursday and Friday at the Fayetteville campus.
