Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire
Dates
- Existence: 1964 - 1971
Historical Note
In June 1964, the Board of Regents gave university standing to the state colleges, and the institution at Eau Claire was renamed Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire. Three schools within the university structure were created in 1964: Arts and Sciences, Education and Graduate Studies. In 1965 the School of Nursing was formed, and in 1966 the School of Business. Under President Leonard Haas's leadership, a $50 million building program was realized. Seven additional residence halls, including the 1,242-bed Towers Hall, and two food and recreational centers — Crest Commons and Hilltop Center — increased the amenities of student life and created an upper campus. The W.R. Davies University Center, built in 1959, was doubled in size in 1964. The L.E. Phillips Science Hall was opened in 1964 and expanded in 1968-69. Schneider Social Science Hall was occupied in 1967, the McPhee Physical Education Center and School of Nursing Building in 1969,and the Fine Arts Building in 1970. A six-story addition to the W.D. McIntyre Library was completed in 1971.
