Referendum Project Update
The project has moved into the first stages of the state capital planning process. Early design and planning pieces will begin once approval for that is granted. Student input will be involved throughout the entire design process. This project will eventually move to the state and the Board of Regents for further approvals.
Upon completion and review of the UW-Stout Advisory Referendum vote in the spring of 2019, the Stout Student Association passed a motion 23-1-1 in favor of supporting "Option C" renovations to the Sports & Fitness Center.
