RENO, Nev. (AP) — The University of Nevada, Reno says it's on schedule to reopen one of the two dorms in August that has been closed since last summer when it was damaged by a boiler explosion in the neighboring residence hall.
In the meantime, school officials say they've agreed to spend $10.1 million to house 838 students at a pair of nearby apartment buildings for the 2020-21 academic year.

The university announced earlier it wouldn't renew a lease with the downtown Circus Circus hotel-casino where about 1,300 students have been living since the explosion damaged Argenta and Nye halls in July.
Argenta will remain closed until August 2021.
