Construction of New Science Building To Begin Soon at UWP

UW-Platteville will soon begin a major renovation of a science building. The school plans a $23.7 million project to renovate laboratory and classroom space in Boebel Hall. Construction will begin in the coming weeks. The renovated facility will include space for laboratories, research space and a classroom. The building will serve students in biology, chemistry and a new environmental science and conservation bachelor of science degree program. State of Wisconsin capital building project funds are financing the project. The project is scheduled for completion for the fall of 2021. A public ground-breaking ceremony will be held late in February or early in March to mark the beginning of the renovation project.
