University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s footprint will soon change—and expand—again. In September, the UW Oshkosh Foundation announced a plan for a state-of-the-art, 22,000-square-foot Alumni Welcome and Conference Center. Planning and fundraising is currently underway.
“It’s a very dynamic, growing campus,” said Steve Buss ‘86, president of the UW Oshkosh Alumni Association. “It’s a great place to learn, it’s a great place to come back to.”
The center—“the University’s new front door”—is slated to be built along Oshkosh’s Fox River, adjacent to the Wisconsin Street Bridge, on the southern edge of campus. It will offer the more than 80,000 UW Oshkosh alumni a home away from home.
Alumna Linda Bailey Boilini ’74, who also is a board member, gets excited when she thinks about a finished UW Oshkosh Alumni Welcome and Conference Center.
“If we utilize the beauty of the Fox River and build along it, we can make this campus even more spectacular than it already is,” she said.
The center will house a 460-person ballroom, four breakout rooms for 70 to 80 people and a 48-person executive board room, making it the ideal spot for meetings, educational conferences, lectures, weddings, corporate dinners and receptions.
The facility also will house the UW Oshkosh Alumni Relations, Foundation and Business Success Center offices.

I am so proud to see how UW Oshkosh continues to grow. With so many improvements over the past few years. The new footprints for the campus are exciting for long term growth. Which has to be a business model today.

I was just on campus yesterday – for the first time in 30! years since graduating (’82). I was amazed and impressed at the support for growth and very proud that my son will be attending this fall!
