A student bookshop for the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a new look inside.
Kraus-Anderson announced Monday it completed the $2.3 million remodel of the University Book Store, located at 711 State Street. The renovation also included the university’s marketing and communications department offices.
The 9,400-square-foot project demolished existing spaces and added new furniture, interior walls, fixtures, glazing, millwork, flooring and paint, officials said. Madison-based Potter Lawson was the designer.
Upgrades also included design-build mechanical, electrical and plumbing and fire protection improvements, officials added.
The Book Store was established in 1894 and has operated continuously for more than 130 years.
