Facility
Situated at the campus crossroads of engineering, microbial sciences, biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, biotechnology, medical sciences and computer sciences, the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery are intended to create a vibrant, flexible and inviting environment that will foster impromptu meetings among scientists, forge new research alliances, and facilitate ideas and breakthrough discoveries.
As a gateway to campus for the public, the institutes also promise to engage K–12 students and the wider community in science through events, symposia and hands-on activities. Plans for the ground floor also include public gathering spaces, shops and restaurants that will revitalize the streets around the facility and enrich the campus environment.
