Building Committee

In addition to four representatives from WARF, the building committee for the institutes comprises 13 UW–Madison faculty, staff and administrators representing several campus divisions. Each committee member is working with the campus community to achieve the full potential of the institutes, both in terms of overall architectural design and the layout of research space.
