The University of Hawai'i-Manoa will break ground on the 814-bed Frear Hall replacement next month after the UH Board of Regents approved a $71 million construction contract today.

By approving the contract at its monthly meeting held at UH-Hilo, the regents have allowed work to begin on the first phase of a multi-year plan to increase on-campus housing by 1,700 beds by 2014. The replacement Frear Hall is expected to open by Fall 2008, said Carolyn Tanaka, UH spokeswoman.
