UW-Milwaukee’s new Chemistry Building received a 2025 Mayor’s Design Award on May 16 at UWM’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
Opened in Fall 2024 after six years of construction, the cutting-edge, 163,400-square-foot building strengthens UWM’s role as a scientific research and education leader. Designed with modern architecture and equipped with advanced labs, flexible classrooms and collaborative spaces, the building supports both academic and industry innovation.
Since 1997, the Mayor’s Design Award has recognized projects that contribute to Milwaukee’s built environment by enhancing public spaces, expanding educational and job opportunities, fostering social connections and setting new standards for development and architecture.
