Boston University is revamping the largest dorm on its campus as part of a series of capital projects amid the school’s surging enrollment.
The school plans to tap municipal-bond investors for $300 million in early March to finance the first phase of what is expected to be a $663 million overhaul. The new project will outfit student rooms with upgraded finishes, lighting and air conditioning, as well as improve a dining hall, according to preliminary bond documents.
