Columbia University is planning to tap the bond market next month for capital projects and to refinance debt.

The Ivy League institution said in a filing that it was considering the issuance of $285 million of tax-exempt bonds, which would be sold through a state agency, and $200 million of taxable bonds. The offerings are tentatively slated to price in May.
