University of Kentucky buys Northside library at Auction

Published July 26th, 2008


The University of Kentucky paid $1.2 million Friday to buy Lexington’s Northside public library branch building at auction.

UK will use the building intact for offices for an urban research facility located adjacent to the library property. The research is designed to find how native wildlife integrate into an urban environment.

“We own 55 acres behind here and bought the library with the purpose of integrating it with the research facility,” said Frank Butler, UK’s executive vice president for finance and administration. www.kentucky.com
