Innovation Lab: Fostering tomorrow’s breakthroughs
A successful learning environment for innovation fosters creativity and brings together groups of students and faculty to collaborate, exchange ideas, feel engaged, and be a part of a team.
Starting February 2020 construction on the new Innovation Lab will begin, transforming more than 2,000 square feet on the second floor of Nancy Nicholas Hall into a new, flexible, multipurpose space for student innovation, collaboration, group ideation, and design thinking.
Adjacent to the learning space will be a new donor expression unlike any other in SoHE or on the campus.
Ember Hall: Igniting the future
Since 1903 people in the School of Human Ecology have been propelled to find human-centered solutions for the great challenges of well-being for children, families, consumers, and communities.
Ember Hall is a covenant to the belief that through the generosity of people who share our vision, values, and commitment, the School of Human Ecology will remain a world-class institution within the University of Wisconsin.
Timeline: February to August
The project is targeted for completion by August 2020. Robin’s Nest Café will remain open during construction, and the resulting space will include the same number of seats as the prior arrangement. The DoIT print shop is now relocated to the first floor, far east end of the building.
