Engineering building, reciprocity changes receive final approval
Governor Tony Evers to signed into law a series of bipartisan bills that include state funding for a new College of Engineering building, much-needed campus infrastructure projects, and changes to the Wisconsin-Minnesota reciprocity agreement allowing Universities of Wisconsin campuses to retain the full amount of tuition paid by Minnesota students.
The new building will permit the enrollment of around 1,000 additional undergraduates in engineering at a time when Wisconsin employers urgently need more engineers. The facility will also provide a state-of-the-art space to continue to attract and support exceptional faculty.
