The Global Water Center is a 98,000 sq. ft. (9,104 m2) facility housing water-centric research space for universities, existing water-related companies and accelerator space for new, emerging water technology companies. With more than 30 tenant organizations, the GWC continues to be a magnet for foreign dignitaries, water technology businesses, economic development organizations and students from all levels. The development of the GWC was an important milestone as it established a highly visible headquarter base for The Water Council and a platform to grow Wisconsin’s water technology cluster.
