Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: In 2017, the University of Wisconsin-Madison received Common Council approval of a Campus-Institutional (CI) zoning district campus master plan to guide the future growth of most of the University campus. The approved master plan includes two projects for the College of Engineering on the portion of the Campus west of N Randall Avenue and south of Campus Drive and W Johnson Street, S-01 and S-02. The proposed amendment seeks to consolidate the two project sites to create a project for a 385,000 square-foot facility for the College of Engineering. The proposed project is shown in the amendment materials as “S-01/02, Engineering Drive 1410 - Replacement”; per the materials, the proposed building may be up to eight (8) stories tall. Demolition of the existing College of Engineering building at 1410 Engineering Drive is called for as a ‘Phase 2 Removal’ on page 178 of the adopted 2017/2019 Campus Master Plan for the University.
