A new science building would allow the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point to emphasize research opportunities at the campus if construction earns city approval.
The proposed 176,500-square-foot building is expected to cost about $75 million and will house chemistry and biology programs in a facility to be located where university Lot X now stands. The four-story building would include labs, two large lecture halls, small classrooms and a conservatory. The academic programs that would be housed in the building now take place in the Science Building on Fourth Avenue and Daniel O. Trainer Natural Resources Building off Reserve Street.
"Now it's a fairly commonplace expectation that instructors, professors today will be involved with research, and then added to that is the undergraduate research," said Carl Rasmussen, director of facilities planning for UWSP.
