$54,639,000.

This number represents the current investment being made by the state of Wisconsin in the University of Wisconsin-Parkside learning environment. This investment addresses needed infrastructure upgrades and provides for space enhancements that will have a positive and lasting impact on the students we serve, both currently and in the future.

Projects included in the $54,639,000 are as follows:
  • Wyllie Hall Renovation - $35 Million
  • Campus Fire Alarm System Upgrade - $6.7 Million
  • Campus Utility Tunnel Repairs - $4.8 Million
  • Greenquist Hall 220 & 370 Lab Remodels - $2.5 Million

  • Greenquist Hall Fire Door Replacement - $726,000

Currently, the Wyllie Hall Renovation, the Greenquist Hall Lab Remodel and the SAC Turf Center projects are actively under construction. The lab remodels and the turf center work will likely be completed in the spring of 2021. The Wyllie Hall work is progressing nicely and we expect significant progress will be made through the summer of 2021. The Wyllie Hall Renovation project is expected to be completed in 2022.
