“Our goal here is twofold: to ensure access to a supply of safe, clean drinking water for all people and increase practices that recover value from wastes while maintaining high standards.”
“Collaboration with other researchers at the GWC will expand our knowledge base, stimulate idea generation, and open us up to more ways of defining and solving water-related problems. The new GWC space and specialized equipment expand our teaching and analytical capabilities.”
Dr. Daniel Zitomer, P.E., BCEE Professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering and director of Water Quality Center
IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS, President Michael R. Lovell announced that Marquette is expanding its role in the growing water sector with a significant presence in the Global Water Center in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood. The 100,000-square-foot, seven-story building houses water-related research facilities for universities, existing water-related companies and accelerator space for emerging companies. “This will allow our faculty, staff and students unprecedented opportunities to develop water technologies that will change the world,” President Lovell says. 28 // 2015
