The pre-design study for the Cowley Hall Science Building Project was presented at an open forum on Friday, March 25, 2011 in the Great Hall, Cleary Center.  The construction of a new state-of-the-art science building is UW-L's next capital project priority. A team of consultants led by River Architects has been working with faculty and staff from the College of Science and Health during the past year on the new science building project.

Cowley Hall was built in 1965 and has served more than two generations of students. There have been few facility upgrades and improvements to Cowley Hall during the past 46 years.
