Plans call for renovating the main ME building as well as tearing down the Sawtooth and replacing it with a three-story addition. The ME renovation will include major remodeling and a new electrical and data infrastructure to support modern research labs and classrooms. A new central HVAC system will replace the substandard systems currently serving the building, and a new elevator will make all areas of the building more accessible to the disabled. A new main entryway will be created on Engineering Drive facing the new parking ramp constructed last year. Plans for this major renovation are being coordinated by Dean Paul Peercy and by Ed Manuel at the UW Foundation University of Wisconsin Foundation .
Suggestions are welcome.
