C.G. Schmidt wins UW South Campus Union contract
Published June 6, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Milwaukee-based C.G. Schmidt Inc. has won the contract to be the construction manager of the new South Campus Union at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
The $82 million project will be managed out of C.G. Schmidt's Madison office and is set to begin in January 2009.
The project includes demolition of the existing south campus union and the construction of its replacement.
The new facility, which is being designed with extensive student input, will include several upgrades. New features will include outdoor terraces, a conference center, a bowling alley, retail space, a climbing and bouldering wall, space for student organizations and an entertainment venue featuring a pub and space for live performances. Other features will include a coffee shop, underground parking, food service, rooms for campus visitors and an art gallery.
Dan Davis, C.G. Schmidt's senior vice president, said, "One of the main goals for this new facility is to revitalize the space. Thanks to student input and the architect, this new building should be an exciting place to be, since it is so multifaceted. C.G. Schmidt looks forward to working on this project, because these are the kinds of projects in which our management and integrated approach really add value."
Some of C.G. Schmidt's notable projects in the past have included the Monroe Clinic Hospital in Monroe, the UW Cancer Center in Johnson Creek, GE Healthcare's new world headquarters in Wauwatosa and the Santiago Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum.
