University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) dignitaries and state Gov. Scott Walker hailed the new UWSP Science Building as a commitment to the Stevens Point campus, its staff, students, curriculum and the future during a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, May 5.
“It’s more than just a science building,” said Christopher Cirmo, dean of the College of Letters and Science. “It’s a commitment to higher education in central Wisconsin … it will become a hive of activity on this campus.”
Cirmo recognized several people involved in moving the $75 million project forward, many of whom were present, including state representatives; local officials connected with the city, county and businesses and councils; and Walker.
“This has taken on a much greater meaning than just a science building,” Chancellor Bernie Patterson said. “We all have a role to play, and we all helped make this happen … that’s what’s so neat about this campus.”
