The University of Wisconsin at Madison is notable among research universities: It lands in the top 10 for institutions that constructed the most space and spent the most money in 2008 and 2009, as well as in the top 10 of institutions that are planning major expansions in 2010 and 2011. Alan Fish, associate vice chancellor for facilities at Madison, said that the university is consistently in the top five in federal research grants and that the university has made it a strategic priority to stay there through building.
