In response to uncertainties regarding federal funding, WashU is halting its plans to remodel Mudd Field and to build Riney Hall, according to an article published in The Record. The University will start removing the fencing on Mudd Field in the coming weeks, and the field will fully reopen for regular use at the start of next semester. Construction on Michael W. and Quirsis V. Riney Hall, a new Arts & Sciences building that broke ground this fall, will be paused this week. Despite the halt in construction, University officials expressed interest in revisiting the two projects in the future.
