If you’ve driven by the Goodman South Campus site lately you’ve seen that construction is progressing and we are on track to open on September 3, 2019. To call this a momentous occasion is to understate the transformative impact this campus will have on the students it will serve, the residents of our 12-county district, employers who benefit from the economic vitality created and sustained by a steady stream of highly trained workers in southcentral Wisconsin, and for the communities of which we are a part. This full-service college campus is in a long-underserved neighborhood, moving the conversation from bold vision to becoming a promise kept.
The campus will have a projected enrollment just over 1,500 students for fall 2019. At full capacity 5,000 students will study in the classrooms. In addition to a broad range of academic options offered at the Goodman South Campus, students will have access to classes at Truax through a regular shuttle bus.
ALL are invited to a Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, September 28 from Noon to 4 p.m. with a formal program to begin at 1 p.m. Goodman South Campus is located at 2429 Perry Street, Madison.
Many in our community contributed to make this campus a reality. Thank you!! If you are interested in supporting the Goodman South Campus Building or contributing to scholarships, you can donate online.
