An aerial photograph of the construction going on around Camp Randall Stadium.

A project to upgrade utility lines to prepare for renovation at Camp Randall Stadium makes life interesting on both sides of the Field House and along Monroe Street.

And at University Research Park, construction continues on the arch-shaped Ultratech building in the foreground while in other areas of the park, only four undeveloped building sites remain. The park is making plans to purchase about 113 acres on the city’s far west side.
