The Fetzer Centers

Student Athlete Computer Labs

History of the Fetzer Centers

Thanks in large part to the generosity of UW Alumnus Wade Fetzer (BS'59) and his wife Beverly, student-athletes at the University of Wisconsin have access to two exceptional academic centers.

The original Fetzer Student Athlete Academic Center opened in the basement of the McClain Center in 1997 and housed a 15,000 square foot facility that served the needs of all student athletes. In the fall of 2006, the Kohl Fetzer Center (KFC) opened as a satellite office. This 5,000 square foot learning center provides a quiet study environment, an eleven station computer lab, and advising and learning specialist support to teams that are proximate to the Kohl Center.

In the summer of 2012, renovation of the McClain Center began, and the Fetzer Center was relocated to the lower level of Kellner Hall. The current facility houses the majority of the Academic and Student Development staff, a thirteen station computer lab, and multiple quiet study areas. During the transition, Tutoring and Study Table are offered in the Varsity Club, located in Camp Randall Stadium.

A new Fetzer Center will be opening on the north end of Camp Randall in January, 2014 as part of the Student-Athlete Performance Center project. The new state of the art facility will be double the size or the original Fetzer Center, and will provide an exceptional space to facilitate learning and student-athlete development.
