High bids delaying Grainger addition

Plans for an addition to Grainger Hall that would house graduate programs in the UW-Madison School of Business are being redesigned as a cost-saving move after bids for the project came in over budget.

“In a time of tight resources, we felt that a redesign would deliver more value, even though it will delay the building’s opening,” said Alan Fish, associate vice chancellor for facilities.

The lowest bids came in at $47.3 million, $6.8 million higher than the project’s budget.
