Investing in Tomorrow’s Nurses
One day, you may be alive because of the care you receive. That moment begins long before a hospital room or clinic visit. It begins where nurses are formed. The Nursing Wing Addition at Concordia University Wisconsin represents a long-term commitment to preparing nurses with the skills, judgment and compassion required for work that is not just a profession, but a calling lived out in service to others.
The project includes approximately 26,000 square feet of new construction along with 11,650 square feet of renovated space, creating a state-of-the-art environment designed for hands-on learning, collaboration, and clinical preparation.
Groundbreaking will occur in spring, and construction is expected to continue through summer 2027, with the space anticipated to be ready for use for the Fall 2027 semester.
Meeting a crucial need
Across Wisconsin and the nation, healthcare systems are facing a critical workforce shortage that affects hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community health organizations.
In response, Concordia University Wisconsin is helping meet this urgent need by preparing dedicated graduates who are ready to serve where they are needed most.
In 2025 alone, CUW awarded 388 healthcare-related degrees, including 68 Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees, contributing skilled nurses who are stepping directly into frontline care.
Serving communities through care
For more than four decades, Concordia has prepared nurses to serve patients, families, and healthcare systems with excellence and integrity. Graduates of the School of Nursing are at work across hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community settings, meeting real needs every day.
The Nursing Wing Addition builds on that legacy. It reflects a visible investment in the health of our communities and the people who will care for them, now and in the years ahead.
