Making an
Entrance
Not just replacing, but reinventing.
With this new building, we're meeting the needs not just of the University, but also our community. The new Cofrin Technology and Education Center innovates new ways of learning, conducting research, working and collaborating. More than a building, this structure creates a new heart for the campus, commanding the space between the Weidner for Performing Arts and Rose Hall that forms the lawn, boulevard and circle of Main Entrance Drive.
Storied History
Since UW-Green Bay opened its doors in 1965, the library played a central role in our institution.

Construction is planned to begin spring 2025, move-in early 2027, with old library demolition to follow.
$96.3M
State funding for this project was approved in 2021 Wisconsin Act 58 at $96,297,000.

UWGb's Front Door
"If you've been on our campus, you'll notice we don't really have a traditional university quad, a way you can see all the academic buildings, the way students can easily navigate where they're going, this change will give us that. It will really make the Cofrin Technology and Education Center the front door of the university in a really clear and obvious way.”
Chancellor Michael Alexander
