The state of Wisconsin has awarded Carroll University $3 million towards its new science laboratory building on the Waukesha campus.
The university demolished Maxon Hall in February and began constructing the $24 million, 44,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art science building equipped with interactive teaching and research laboratories for anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry and biochemistry.
The building will open in fall 2016, before the start of the school year, said Tiffany Wynn, university spokesperson.
Once complete, Carroll will begin phase two of its campus renovation project, which includes a 12,000-square-foot hall, to be named the Bucyrus Center for Applied Physics and Engineering. The building will be attached to Lowry Hall, which will also be renovated.
The Bucyrus Foundation has issued a $1 million challenge grant to the Carroll for the project.
