Last Friday, we hosted a group of UW Madison students at our Milwaukee office for a look into sustainability at our firm. Thanks to our connection with the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council, we had the opportunity to share our insights on sustainability and the built environment. The day began with an engaging presentation on the history of EUA and our Milwaukee office, followed by a tour of our facilities. Over lunch, we discussed our sustainability initiatives and showcased the TruStage Lighthouse project as a case study. The students’ enthusiasm and thoughtful questions made the experience truly memorable. We appreciate the chance to engage with these future leaders and look forward to more collaborations that promote sustainable building practices. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this day a success!

We partnered with TVS to expand the Baird Center in downtown Milwaukee, WI. This project doubled the convention center space to over 1.3 million square feet, enabling it to host multiple conferences simultaneously and attract an additional 100,000 out-of-state visitors annually. The updated interior features floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a dynamic wall fountain, a grand staircase, gender-neutral bathrooms, increased dining capacity in the ballroom, and indoor parking. The project also includes 24 new meeting rooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a rooftop ballroom with panoramic city views. Thank you to Wisconsin Center District, Gilbane Building Company, C.D. Smith Construction, TVS, and all other hardworking teams involved in this outstanding project.

At EUA, we harness the power of experiential graphics to turn spaces into living narratives. Our recent project with Aurora Public Schools showcases this, where we created vibrant, inspiring environments for their new K-12 visual and performing arts magnet school. From visual arts to stagecraft, our designs celebrate creativity and honor the legacy of Charles Burrell, a pioneering musician. His joy at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new high school addition, alongside his family, was a testament to the impact of our work.
