SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Two colleges on opposite sides of South Dakota are planning building projects.

The Rapid City Journal reports that the School of Mines and Technology is starting work on a $6 million upgrade to its chemistry building.

The Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan reports that officials recently launched a $750,000 fundraising campaign to build an alumni center at Yankton College.

The School of Mines project includes upgrades to classrooms and labs, new labs and a new glass facade. It’s being financed mainly through student tuition.

An alumni and education center at Yankton College would be used to store memorabilia and provide space for reunions. The fundraising is being coordinated by the Yankton College Alumni and the Yankton County Historical Society.
