Gov. Rick Snyder has signed a bill investing more than $300 million in infrastructure projects at Michigan's colleges and universities.The signing ceremony took place Monday at Wayne State University. The Detroit school is planning a biomedical research building.
 
The legislation includes a commitment of $304 million to fund 18 construction projects statewide.
 
Other projects include a science lab, classroom and office building at Grand Valley State University; an engineering center at Oakland University; and an electrical power technology and training center at Alpena Community College.
 
Snyder says "these investments allow higher education in Michigan to stay on the cutting edge."
