| The College of Menominee Nation (CMN) intends to use its Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) grant to implement the Phase II construction of an academic library project, which will allow the college to complete the finishing carpentry of both the second level and basement level of a new academic library, as well as provide for handicap accessibility features, fire suppression, and security system. This project addresses the most pressing challenge that CMN faces at this time, which is responding to needs associated with increasing student populations, accelerating development of academic programs—including four year degree programs—and growing expectations of the community which it serves. The project will mostly benefit students, more importantly low-income students and students with disabilities. CMN serves more than 500 students each semester, the majority of whom are degree-seeking students. Faculty, staff, and community members will also benefit and the project will greatly impact the amount as well as the quality of academic library services the College will be able to provide.
