Campus Circle

Description

1995 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence - Silver Medal

Campus Circle, launched by Milwaukee’s Marquette University, revitalized a low-income neighborhood with quality mix-income housing for students and families. The university joined forces with area businesses, community organizations, and residents to develop a comprehensive approach to transforming a 90-square-block area adjacent to its campus. The $9 million university investment included three main components: building new off-campus student and staff housing, rehabilitating low-cost housing for neighborhood residents, and revitalizing commerce by developing commercial properties, all while reducing crime and increasing community involvement.

Campus Circle purchased over 150 properties in the area and created over 88,000 square feet of new commercial space. Crime is down significantly and social services organizations and a police station have been integrated into the circle. More than 150 units for students have been built or renovated, and 188 units of affordable housing for residents was rehabilitated without increasing rents.
