Stop appropriate there. $150,000 per bed? Wow! You could apparently body a accomplished abode — an absolute address for abiding — for beneath than that. Anyway, the adventure continues:

The adventure goes on to analyze a few things. State’s CFO, who retired two years ago, told the N&O that his apropos at the time came from “a amount ability standpoint.

Though the university accustomed the activity in 2015, it’s not appointed to accessible until 2019 — a year after than expected. (One of the affidavit for the delay: N.C. State capital to accord its new basketball drillmaster a adventitious to action his suggestions for the project.)
The second N&O story delves into area N.C. State got the abstraction for this bazaar basketball abode to activate with. The abbreviate version: Lots of others schools are accomplishing it. Yow visited two schools (Kansas and Kentucky) to analysis out their basketball dorms.
