NORMAL — Gov. Pat Quinn started off Illinois State University’s Founders Day celebration with a bang Thursday, announcing the release of $54.3 million for a new complex for ISU’s College of Fine Arts.

Proclaiming “We’re all Redbirds today,” Quinn told a room filled with people gathered for the annual bell-ringing ceremony that the project would create 775 construction jobs and is an investment in higher education.

“This investment means Illinois State University will be able to build on its excellent reputation in the fine arts while creating hundreds of good jobs,” Quinn said.
