Marquette University plans to break ground this spring in Milwaukee on a new home for its business and innovation leadership programs.
The $60 million, 100,000 square-foot facility will be built on the former site of McCormick Hall..
Marquette’s newest academic facility will be built for the future with maximum flexibility and state-of-the-art, globally connective technology, anchoring the west gateway to campus.
The four-story building design will feature an open atrium, collaborative classrooms, lab and study spaces, as well as an event space for the Milwaukee business community, bringing together thought leaders from across the region.
In addition, plans call for a café, areas for programmatic centers of excellence and faculty offices. The facility’s first floor is designed to provide wraparound student support, including centralized advising with a Student Success Center and a Business Career Center.
The new facility will also house innovation leadership programs, and its proximity to Marquette’s Opus College of Engineering offers opportunities to pair faculty experts and students within the two academic disciplines.
The facility will be completed at the end of 2022.
The architects are BNIM and Workshop Architects. The builder is Findorff.
