HOK is a designer of new Wisconsin Energy Institute building

The St. Louis office of HOK and Potter Lawson, based in Madison, Wis., designed a $55 million, five-story building at the University of Wisconsin in Madison that will be the newest of three alternate energy research facilities in the United States.

Construction is on schedule at the Wisconsin Energy Institute, a 104,000-square-foot research center that is scheduled to open in fall 2012. The project is funded by the state of Wisconsin.

The building is designed to create a hub where scientists can collaborate efficiently. Its lead tenant will be the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, one of three such centers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to conduct research that generates technology to convert cellulosic biomass to ethanol and other biofuels.
