JP Cullen & Sons Inc. has begun carrying out an improvement project at the University of Wisconsin Health Sciences Learning Center, in Madison. The work includes interior remodeling and curriculum enhancements to an existing four-story atrium building, with a mechanical penthouse and basement parking levels. The curriculum enhancements include a new 12,000-sq-ft clinical skills-assessment suite of 24 simulated patient-exam rooms and associated support spaces, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing and technology upgrades; a new 12,000-sq-ft multipurpose active learning center, with operable partition dividers, raised access flooring, adjacent restroom expansion, and HVAC, electrical and technology upgrades; and a new 6,300-sq-ft silent-study suite, along with the remodeling of the five student houses.
