Ball State University plans to replace its crowded and outdated multicultural center with a new $4 million center at the heart of the Muncie campus. The school’s current multicultural center is housed in a 4,000-square-foot building that was built in 1934 on the campus’ southern edge. The new building will have 10,500-square feet. Construction is slated to start in the summer or fall of 2019 and be completed about a year later. Reserve funds will finance the new center’s cost.
