University of Wisconsin-Madison building boom not over yet, but will slow soon

A rush of buildings is set to open in the coming months on the UW-Madison campus ? marking the completion of a spate of major projects on the state?s flagship campus. A $33 million makeover to the UW-Madison education building will be officially unveiled next week. The Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery will open next month. Next year will bring a new south campus union, a biochemistry building and the Chazen art museum addition. “In the next three to five years, that big pulse will slow down,” said Alan Fish, associate vice chancellor for facilities, planning and management. “It marshals in an era where focus will be less on new structures and more on maintaining.”
