UW-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences Building - Milwaukee, WI
J. P. Cullen & Sons, Inc. was recently awarded a $36.4 million dollar contract to build the nation’s first graduate school of Freshwater Sciences. Adjacent to the current Great Lakes WATER Institute and standing as its front door, the new integrated marine, freshwater and atmospheric research laboratory project includes a 92,600 sq. ft., three-story addition on the south side of the existing Great Lakes Research Facility (GLRF) that overlooks the Milwaukee harbor. This location was chosen to promote collaboration and shared support functions between the two buildings.
This addition will provide multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary research space, core facilities, collaborative space and teaching/instructional spaces. It will house the Center for Water Policy, Great Lakes Genomics Center, state-of-the-art laboratories for researchers and students, classrooms, quarantine facilities to allow research students to acquire aquatic organisms from the Great Lakes, and serve as a substantial expansion of the School of Freshwater Sciences (SFS) aquaculture labs.
The existing surface parking lot and a small one-story section of the building that currently houses the robotics lab will be demolished to accommodate the addition. The remaining open yard to the west of the existing GLRF is set aside for vessel support functions and future development of a new surface parking lot. The building’s main public entry will be located at the southeast corner of the new addition, adjacent to the administration wing, providing consolidated access to classrooms and administration. A staff entry will be located at the west end of the building.
Because of the SFS’s high visibility and its leading impact on freshwater research in the United States, a group led by UW-Milwaukee’s Institute of Ecological Design (School of Architecture and Urban Planning) and the City of Milwaukee will also use the construction of the building as a synergist project to begin redeveloping Milwaukee’s inner harbor region. This redevelopment will include reconstructing Greenfield Avenue, East of 1st Street, and will incorporate an innovative storm water management plan and educational features focusing on freshwater habits.

Student Athlete Performance Center at UW-Madison - Madison, WI
This project includes renovating existing structures and constructing a new multistory building adjacent to the McClain Center and Camp Randall Stadium, which will house programs for the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics.
The work will be completed in three phases. The first phase provides a tunnel access from the lower level of the McClain Center to the playing field to allow football players and coaches direct access to the field from the locker room suite. This first phase also prepares internal Camp Randall Stadium spaces so the McClain Center lower level can be vacated and remodeled. Phase one will also include turf replacement in Camp Randall Stadium and within the McClain Center.
The second phase upgrades the entire McClain Center and completes the internal Camp Randall Stadium renovation.
The third phase provides the new Fetzer Academic Center addition on the north end of the Stadium plus the project site-work components. The Stadium scoreboard and sound system will also be updated in phase three.
