GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — UW-Green Bay has announced the name of its first new residence hall in more than 12 years.
Cort Condon Hall, currently under construction, is named after Gerald C. “Cort” Condon, Jr. Chairman of the Board, University Village Housing, Inc. (UVHI). UVHI is a private, non-profit group that was specially formed for the development of affordable student housing at UW-Green Bay and partners with the university in the management of most residence halls.
He went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison earning degrees in accounting and finance. He later obtained his law degree from the University of Colorado. He moved to Northeast Wisconsin in 1975 and became a strong financial partner and advocate for area businesses throughout his career as a corporate and tax attorney. Currently, he is a partner in the Condon & Herald firm, located in downtown Green Bay.
Cort Condon Hall is slated to open in the fall of 2024. The $38 million building will be home to 200 students and specially designed for first and second-year students. It will offer both two-person and four-person apartments with an array of shared and recreation spaces.
The project broke ground in May of 2023 and when it’s complete in the fall of 2024, it will be the largest residence hall on campus.
