Assuming the cost was $68,000,000 for Simmons, then yes, it cost $200K per
bed... there have been reports that Simmons exceeded the budgeted cost,
which would make it far more per bed.

An article from The Chronicle of Higher Education was forwarded to you

The following message was enclosed:
Mention of Simmons Hall - and in a tone none too approving of
the project. Jesus, did that blight on our landscape really
cost $200K per bed?
In any case: if this sort of thing interests you, might I
recommend City Comforts (citycomfortsblog.typepad.com)?
