After three years of planning, a new Future Tech building at College of Eastern Idaho is finally moving forward.

CEI’s Board of Trustees recently approved the construction of a two-level, 88,000-square-foot energy, innovation and technology building in an empty field on the north side of the Idaho Falls campus. Contractors are bidding on parts of the project, which could cost up to $36,407,023 in total. The money is being provided by state funds as well as donations from the private sector.
