Relocating and Renovating
The original campus building, Founders Hall, was constructed in 1962, and our team (through facility studies and visioning sessions) created a new vision for the building.
The Manitowoc Campus library was relocated to the front entry in a visible and highly trafficked area. The old library space was converted into larger science labs, a nursing lab, and an open collaboration area for all students. Art studios were also relocated from the basement and designed with specialized lighting and equipment to support instruction in printmaking, painting, and digital arts.
Upgrades were also made to HVAC, fire alarm, and building control systems.
