E N D
APBC Working Group Summary Report • Campus Master Plan [CMP]: Innovation Park – Integrated Research Complex [IP-IRC] • Summary Points • The IP – IRC facility is a specialized research and advanced instructional facility, targeted for use in transferring research into commercial activity, primarily in CEAS and CHS’s areas of excellence in bio-engineering, energy, transportation, and informatics. • Plans outline a facility housing upward of 80 FTE faculty and staff in a four-level, multi-structure complex with nearly 140,000 assignable (usable) square feet completed in two or more construction phases. • The IP industrial development facet of the overall plan has broad support involving both campus and community constituencies. • Part of the proposed UWM IRC is potentially fundable as a base facility for the IP plan as evidenced by a $30MM federal economic development grant under consideration. • The HGA plan appears highly responsive to UWM faculty needs and values.
