BIG PLAN ON CAMPUS: UWEC’s New Science Building Would Be Biggest in UW System
30 Nov 2022
News, Eau Claire
UW-Eau Claire officials are optimistic ground can be broken in the spring of 2024 for the largest, most expensive project in campus history: the construction of a $345.5 million Science and Health Sciences Building, which will replace Phillips Science Hall.
Before that happens, however, the second installment of funding for the project must make its way into the state’s next two-year budget. Dr. Michael Carney, who chairs the planning committee for the building, said he’s “fairly confident” the funding will come through. Over the summer, the UW System Board of Regents approved $235.5 million for the science hall in its capital budget request. But it will be up to the state Legislature and Gov. Tony Evers whether this and other UW System priorities make it into the final 2023-25 state budget next year.
