Welcome to the Facilities Management Website!!! |
The existing Ullsvik Center is located at the northeast corner of the UW-Platteville campus. This is also the southwest corner of the intersection of W. Main Street and N. Hickory Street.
Constructed as the Student Center for the Wisconsin State College, Platteville, the existing building was built in three phases. The first phase was completed in 1959 with major additions in 1965 and 1989 that more than doubled its original size to its present 100,256 GSF. A new student center was recently completed, making this facility available for redevelopment to meet other campus needs.
This Ullsvik Center Remodeling and Addition Project resolves three issues: 1) to relieve crowding, 2) to update infrastructure, and 3) to improve functionality for both an existing building and the over-all University by adding classroom and office space to the existing building. Currently, many vital administrative functions of the University occupy Brigham Hall, a converted residence hall that was originally constructed in 1950. Crowding occurs because Brigham Hall is approx. 31,400 GSF and is not big enough to meet the on-going space demands of the University’s administrative functions. The Ullsvik Center space remains 80% unoccupied since the completion of the new Pioneer Student Center in April 2002. In order to relieve overcrowding for administrative functions in other parts of campus, a number of these functions have been temporarily located to the vacated spaces within the Ullsvik Center.
The Ullsvik Center is located prominently on the east side of campus, making it easy for first time visitors to locate. Parking on the east side of campus is more abundant than at the center of campus and at Brigham Hall where parking is scarce.
This project demolishes the 1959 portion of the building and builds an addition. All of the remaining portions of the building will undergo some degree of renovation. The final building provides space for the University’s administrative, support offices, and programs. Services and programs which deal primarily with outside contracts and have heavy visitor traffic will be relocated to this facility. The project also builds new classrooms, faculty offices and academic staff offices. The existing banquet facilities will remain in the Ullsvik Center. The existing Nohr Art Museum will also remain and a new natural history museum focusing on Southwest Wisconsin will be added in existing space.
