? Explore how the School of Freshwater Sciences has helped transform and continues to influence Milwaukee’s relationship with its harbor and the Great Lakes in the Center’s new short video.
The University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences is an anchor in Milwaukee’s Inner Harbor community, helping to transform this area of legacy industrial contamination into a vibrant, connected waterfront.
What began as an effort to connect the university to the city’s redevelopment has grown into an ongoing story of innovation, sustainability, and urban renewal. The School brings water, design, and community together to advance research, education, and policy on freshwater urban systems.Â
