Project
Timeline
The new classroom building on the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus endured a variety of phases in the
approval, conceptualization, design and construction process.
The overall project used traditional building design processes,
commercial architects, engineering design firms, bidding and acquisition
processes, and commercial building trades for installation. The
project timeline is detailed below, and illustrates the cumulation
of four years worth of effort to bring Mary Ann Cofrin Hall to
life.
