The University of Akron’s plan to shrink its footprint and reduce the number of buildings on campus is getting a $16.5 million boost from the state, part of more than $26 million in funding directed to Summit County to pay for capital projects. The bulk of the money, nearly $16 million, is going to help the University of Akron fund renovations at both Schrank Hall North and South, a pair of multipurpose academic halls in need of modernization.
