MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The state budget funds some high-priority projects for the Universities of Wisconsin.
The 2025-27 budget, a compromise between Democratic Governor Tony Evers and Republican leaders in the legislature, allocates $194.5 million for phase two of UW La-Crosse’s Prairie Springs Science Center and to demolish the 60-year-old Crowley Hall, and $189.3 million to renovate the health sciences center at UW-Milwaukee.
Other capital funding will allow UW-Stevens Point to establish a business school and add to UW-Stout’s recreation complex. UW-Madison gets $5 million to plan for eventual demolition and replacement of the 1960’s era Mosse Humanities building.
