Richland School District gets Former UW-Platteville Building

A building on a onetime UW Center campus will be repurposed. Richland County has sold a building at the former University of Wisconsin-Platteville Richland to the Richland School District. According to Wisconsin Public Radio, the building formerly known as East Hall on the campus will be converted to become a charter school for the district. In June, the district agreed to buy the building for $150,000. UW System President Jay Rothman announced classes for the school would be discontinued July 1 after enrollment at the school fell to just 60 students. The buildings and property on the campus are now owned by Richland County.
