University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) is targeting a 2018 completion for its new $75 million chemistry biology building after breaking ground on May 5.
HOK, with offices in St. Louis, in association with Madison, Wis.-based architectural firm Potter Lawson designed the 176,500-square-foot building, while Neenah, Wis.-headquartered Miron Construction Co. will serve as the general contractor.
The four-story academic and research facility will provide space for the chemistry department, which will be relocated from its existing facility, built in 1963. It also creates new space for four UWSP biology department learning clusters, which will be relocated from the school’s Natural Resources Building. Those clusters include introductory biology, human biology and botany as well as microbiology, and molecular and cellular biology. The facility will feature classrooms, lecture halls, research and teaching labs, faculty and staff offices, and a tropical conservatory. It will be the first major, freestanding academic facility built on the UW-Stevens Point campus since 1971.
