Notes:
- This estimate, from a November 17, 2007 Journal-Sentinel article, is extremely conservative for the purchase of 83 acres of valuable County Grounds land: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=687436. However, less than 50% of the 83 acres would be used for UWM buildings and related research, the remaining acres would be for freeway buffers and stormwater management. UWM would be buying land that can’t be used for research. http://www.uwm.edu/CEAS/assets/UWMInnovationParkDraft0907.pdf
- Downtown land sells for approximately $2m/acre. Only 2-3 acres (one city block, no land assembly needed) would be needed for the school in a downtown location because there is no need to build roads, pay for freeway buffers or stormwater management spaces. Plenty of vacant land available, no demolition costs needed.
- Estimated costs for roads, sewer, water, stormwater management and other major infrastructure needed in Wauwatosa.
- Downtown has all major infrastructure in place.
- As shown in UWM’s initial concept for the campus, there is little to no surface parking and it contemplates a 1,000 car underground parking deck: http://www.uwm.edu/CEAS/assets/UWMInnovationParkDraft0907.pdf
