Renovation of an educational facility in Emporia, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Stormont Maintenance Facility currently houses the operations of the University Facilities Department (Physical Plant Shops, Building Maintenance, etc.). Initially the plan was to build a new Facilities building and move an academic program into the current space. With the space utilization study, facilities' condition report and fiscal realities, ESU has determined a more viable solution is to upgrade the existing Stormont Maintenance Center. Stormont Maintenance Center is a 29,922 GSF facility and is centrally located on campus. Remodeling the existing structure will create a safer campus environment for facility employees and campus pedestrians. This project would also consolidate three existing 56-year old storage buildings with one larger storage facility for materials and equipment. This project will address $2.5 million in deferred maintenance. A Project Program document will be developed based on the Campus Master Plan and will be presented for review and approval. The FY2026 component of this project would provide preliminary and final planning for the project. The project is included in the state's 2027 - 2031 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 24, 2025, further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
