BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Herzing
University has received approval to move its Brookfield campus to the Brookfield
Square area, providing more space and easier access for
Milwaukee-area students who attend
the nonprofit school.
The City of Brookfield has
approved renovation plans for the 23,000-square-foot building at
15895 West Bluemound Road, and classes will start in September 2019.
"We're thrilled to make this transition because the new space
will enhance our students' educational experience," said
Herzing-Brookfield Campus President Jarvis
Racine. "In addition to upgraded classrooms and common
areas, we're also expanding our nursing labs and our physical
therapy assisting clinic. This will allow our students to
participate in more hands-on learning experiences while
accommodating our future growth as we continue to address regional
workforce demands."
Herzing is a transfer-friendly university offering year-round
study and degree programs in nursing, healthcare, business and
information technology. The Brookfield campus is well known for its small
class sizes and supportive staff and faculty.
Herzing's plan to put a modern educational facility in the
rapidly changing Brookfield Square area has received enthusiastic
support from city leaders.
"Herzing is a central part of the Brookfield community, and we are very pleased
to have them moving to a more visible and vibrant location," said
Brookfield Mayor Steven Ponto. "The university helps drive
business growth and adds to the quality of life in this area."
"Moving Herzing to Brookfield Square will help reinvigorate the
area," said Daniel Ertl, Director of
Community Development at the City of
Brookfield. "We believe Herzing University will be additive
to the new and exciting lifestyle offerings that Brookfield Square
will create in 2019 and 2020," Ertl said.
CBL Properties, which is a real estate investment company
headquartered in Chattanooga,
Tenn., worked with Herzing to make the move a reality.
"The addition of Herzing University is complementary to the uses
that we are adding at Brookfield Square as part of our
redevelopment project," said Stacey
Keating, spokesperson for CBL Properties and Brookfield
Square. "CBL's vision is to transform its properties into suburban
town centers, and the addition of educational facilities like this
one contributes to bringing that vision to life."
Herzing University provides career-focused programs, flexible
schedules and a supportive learning environment to students across
the country. The Brookfield campus
is currently at 555 S. Executive Dr. For more information, visit
