This project will install a new 4,000 ton chiller in the heating plant to accommodate increased cooling needs on campus.

This project will create the initial spaces to support the new School of Public Health. It will be located in downtown Milwaukee as part of the redevelopment of the historic Pabst Brewery. The project will renovate an existing 32,700 GSF five-story building (“Building 7” as designated in the Brewery development) as well as construct a 23,100 GSF five-story addition. The project will be accomplished through an operating lease with purchase option provisions as approved by the Board of Regents and State Building Commission.

This project is the initial phase of a multi-phase major redevelopment on the southwest precinct of campus as described in both the campus master plan and pre-design documents. It will address the most urgent campus Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) academic and research needs, including the relocation of physics research labs, departmental offices, and the relocation of the greenhouse. It will construct approximately 150,000 gross square feet of total building area comprised of research labs/core facilities, instructional/collaboration space, and office/support space.

.

This project will create the initial phase of an Integrated Marine, Freshwater, and Atmospheric Research Laboratory on the site of the existing Great Lakes Research Facility (GLRF).

The addition will house shared research core support facilities, research laboratories, teaching spaces, and collaboration spaces.

As the STEM quadrant development begins, the Children's Center will relocate to the Northwest Quad.  This project will renovate approximately 50,000 GSF of the southwest portion of NWQ.  It provides space to relocate the existing program with childcare rooms and support space.  The relocation will occur prior to start of construction of the Kenwood Interdisciplinary Research Complex.

The Grind will be opening a new coffee shop on the first floor of the Northwest Quad in January 2012.

This project relocates the Honors College from its former location in Garland Hall to the Honors House located at N Maryland and E Newport Avenues.  Completed Summer 2011

The planning cycle for the 2013-15 Capital Budget launched in spring 2011. Campus is coordinating with UW System regarding process guidelines and schedule. Our prioritized campus planning Issues List was submitted to UW System in June 2011. Evaluation, refined prioritization and alternative solutions to Issues will be evaluated throughout the summer 2011 and into fall 2011. The campus Physical Environment Committee (PEC) receives all materials in advance of submissions to UW System. More information can be found at: http://www4.uwm.edu/uap/budget/

A redevelopment plan to define projects and phasing of the transformation of the NWQ from hospital space to higher education space.  Will be completed in 2012.  A space planning study was completed in July 2011 (NWQ Space Planning Study). The UWM Campus will review the plan in Fall 2011.

 

This planning effort will define a convocation center adjacent to the existing Klotsche Center to provide an a multi-use space for convocation, athletics  and campus wide events.  It will  maintain and enhance the uses of the Klotsche Center.

This planning effort will define a comprehensive set of capital improvements to be undertaken as future phased capital projects; address both the current building inadequacies and the overall space deficit as documented in the campus master plan; and conduct a highly collaborative student engagement process. Consultant selection has been completed and planning is underway.
