University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Could Look Different
Thursday, September 4th, 2014 -- 8:52 AM
With $241 million in major, long-term building projects underway, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus stands to look very different in a matter of years.Wisconsin Public Radio reports that Chancellor Joe Gow says UWL's facilities are experiencing a period of growth unprecedented in the school?s history.
The UW System Board of Regents recently approved $62 million in capital projects for the campus. If those are approved by the State Building Commission, UWL will build a new residence hall, expand its student recreation facility, and renovate an historic, 100-year-old academic building.
The projects would be funded by student fees and program revenue, not with state tax dollars.
Gow says UWL is also in the beginning phases of planning the construction of an indoor track facility, which his staff is proposing to student government this week.
