OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The listing of an empty building on the UW-Oshkosh campus drew no interest from parties interested in buying the site, the state says.
The building which once housed the Campus Center for Equity and Diversity was listed for sale by the Universities of Wisconsin. The deadline for requests for proposals passed earlier this month with no response, according to a system spokesman.
There was no word from UW on what happens next with the site.
“We continue to explore options,” said a campus spokesman.
According to the now-removed listing on the real estate page, the building on the northeast side of campus, 717 W. Irving Avenue, isn’t in the school’s focal point for future development.
The building is currently empty, according to a school spokesman. The programs which had been in there are now dubbed the Center for Student Success and Belonging, and are located in Reeve Memorial Union.
The three story, 28,700 GSF/27,360 NSF building was originally constructed in 1968 by the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay as a catholic student center. The building was sold in 2004 to the UW Oshkosh Foundation. UWO purchased the building from the Foundation two years later.
