Building to start in spring at Madison
Journal Sentinel, 10.1.07
A planned $150 million research and business incubator in Madison will be housed in one building, with two institutes representing the public and private sectors each having their own lab areas.
One tower will be used for the public Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, one for the private Morgridge Institute for Research, and the third will be split by each.
The building will have a first-floor town center designed to encourage gatherings, with a coffee shop, a few stores and a Rennebohm's soda
fountain, said Carl Gulbrandsen, managing director of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, which contributed $50 million to and is managing the project.
