Gov. Linda Lingle has released $203.1 million for renovations and new construction at University of Hawai�i campuses throughout the state.
The projects include improvements to the Campus Center at the M�noa campus and the Student Services Building at UH-Hilo.
A new Hawaiian Language building at UH-Hilo is also getting funding, as is a new Cancer Research Center at the UH School of Medicine in Honolulu.
The money for these projects and others was appropriated by the Legislature earlier this year.
The governor�s office notes the work will stimulate Hawai�i�s economy and create jobs.
Officials say funds for the capital renewal and deferred maintenance projects are part of the state�s continuing efforts to address the backlog of repair and maintenance projects.
