Despite the pandemic, construction has continued on new projects in the Milwaukee area. Although many of us are more focused on this health crisis, social unrest, and economic turmoil - we’re still experiencing a shortage of affordable housing.

Direct Supply recently undertook a major renovation of its downtown Milwaukee Information & Technology Center to turn the historic building into a “giant technological sandbox,” including secret passages, a coffee shop with downtown roots, local beer and root beer on tap and even a Betty White mural.

Renovations to Boebel Hall are set to begin in the upcoming weeks on the UW-Platteville campus. The $23.7 million project will renovate existing laboratory and classroom space to become instructional laboratories, preparation and support space, research and undergraduate research space and one general assignment classroom.
