CTEC Construction Begins a New Era at UW-Green Bay

A transformational project is underway at the heart of UW-Green Bay campus with the construction of the new Cofrin Technology and Education Center (CTEC). For CTEC construction updates and timelines please refer to CTEC/Site website.

A New Era Begins at UW-Green Bay!

CTEC Construction Update – Timeline & Project Overview
Construction of the new Cofrin Technology and Education Center (CTEC) at UW-Green Bay will begin in Spring 2025, with completion expected by Fall 2027. The building will be located at the front entrance of campus, replacing the lawn and boulevard area along Main Entrance Drive.

The project includes the following key phases:

• Phase 1a (Spring 2025): Construction begins. Campus access remains open with some traffic rerouting near Main Entrance Drive.

NOTE: As of Thursday, May 1, 2025, the GB Metro Bus Stop will be relocated to Wood Hall Drive, directly in front of Wood Hall. Barricades will also be installed on Theatre Drive, Weidner Center Drive, and Main Entrance Drive to close off the upper section of Main Entrance Drive. These barricades will remain in place long-term. Please refer to the map below for the barricade locations and Bus Stop location.

Construction fencing and barricades will also prevent vehicle access for pick-ups and drop-offs at the circle entrance to the Cofrin Library and Student Services.  Please refer to the map below for details.

• Phase 1b (Early Spring 2027): Once the building is complete (after ~20–22 months), fencing will expand briefly to allow final site restoration.

• Phase 2 (Spring–Fall 2027): Demolition of the existing Cofrin Library begins, including removal of connecting corridors and utility rerouting.

• Project Completion (Fall 2027): Site work wraps up, creating a more open and accessible campus center. Landscaping will reflect the original Cofrin Library footprint.

The CTEC will house student, faculty, and community spaces, with design elements honoring the region’s natural environment and Indigenous heritage.
