Cardinal Stritch envisions 800 students at Cousins site

Chantel Balzell reports in St. Francis Now on Cardinal Stritch University's proposed South Shore Campus development.

Stritch officials have reached a preliminary purchase agreement with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee for the 44-acre Cousins Center site, 3501 S. Lake Drive. They also want to purchase 80 acres owned by We Energies nearby for athletic fields, parking structures and a field house.

The former purchase has not yet closed and the latter is being negotiated. Both might be contingent on Stritch obtaining its requested changes in the zoning for the properties.
