Usually a ground-breaking involves shovels, but not at UW-Eau Claire’s new science building.
School leaders yesterday took sledge hammers to a wall at Putnam Hall, which is going to be demolished, to make way for the new building. Plans are for a ten thousand-square foot facility that will allow students to work with doctors at the Mayo Clinic.
The price tag for the new building is just over 250 million-dollars.
