UW-Manitowoc hosts ribbon-cutting for large-scale renovation

A ribbon cutting ceremony followed by an open house celebrating the completion of a $7-million UW-Manitowoc renovation project, Wednesday, March 7 at the campus. The investment included moving and updating the library; creating a new science commons; and updating art studios, science labs and classrooms. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other infrastructure items were also updated or replaced. Founders Hall, where the majority of renovation occurred, had not been significantly updated since 1962. The renovation was a partnership between Manitowoc County, which approved $5 million for the project, and the State of Wisconsin, which provided an additional $1.5 million for fixtures, equipment and previously planned energy-saving building modifications. Private donors also supported the project through the UW-Manitowoc Foundation. The general contractor was A.C.E. Building Service, Inc.
