PHOENIX — The Arizona Board of Regents approved two construction projects at Northern Arizona University.

The campus got the go-ahead for plans to build an aquatics and tennis center. University officials cited safety issues with the current aquatics center as a reason for the upgrade. The project will cost about $48 million.

The other project will house academic services and offices. Expected cost is less than $30 million.

The regents met last week and requested $125 million from the state budget for the campus.
