“We are bringing together Marquette researchers, industry and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District to turn our fundamental science into a solution for today’s emerging issues. Specifically, we will be developing a new treatment technology and monitoring process to remove consumer product chemicals from wastewater before they are released into Lake Michigan.”

“I hope to successfully use the space to create new connections with many of the businesses located in the GWC and to help establish Marquette’s presence in the Milwaukee-area water research and technology community. ”

Marquette has approximately 8,000 square feet of space on the sixth floor, which includes flexible lab space areas, core facilities supporting research, offices and work stations, and collaboration and conferencing space. Space assignments at the GWC will be project based and multidisciplinary. As Marquette strives to be a global leader in water research, the university is taking advantage of the rich water research opportunities in Milwaukee.
