Residence Hall Renovations

UWL Residence Life has embarked on a new phase of residence hall renovations which started with the renovation of Laux Hall in 2019.  We are committed to communicating clearly with students and families about the impact of these renovations on their UWL experience.

Laux Hall reopened in fall 2019.  The renovation project included:

  • Updating electrical wiring
  • Installing a fire sprinkler system
  • Completely remodeling the male and female community bathrooms, including more private shower stalls
  • Adding an all-gender, single-use bathroom and shower on each floor

The current renovation did not involve updates to student rooms, room furniture, the residence hall lobby, or basement common areas.
