The passage of the 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 granted authority to construct certain building projects to the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents. As a result, UW System Administration will periodically issue a Request for Qualifications to solicit experienced architectural and engineering firms for programming, planning, design/engineering, and construction services.

Leasing of Space

The authority to lease real property, for use other than housing, was transferred to University of Wisconsin System Administration with the passage of the 2015 Wisconsin Act 55. This authority was then delegated to the Office of Capital Planning and Budget, which is responsible for leasing all real property for the 13 university institutions and 13 two-year degree colleges.
