University of Wisconsin La Crosse

Architects and designers working on the Health Science Center and Murphy Library at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse were looking for a natural stone product that not only would complement the design of the buildings, but would also be a long lasting, durable product.

They chose handset Winona Stone in Mississippi Pearl for the Health Science Center and a combination of Natural Stone Panels and handset Winona Stone in Mississippi Pearl for the Murphy Library. Winona Stone was chosen because its variety of colors provided the design team with the desired finish they were seeking, while its strength and versatility provided them with design flexibility.

Natural Stone Panels with Winona Stone were used on the Murphy Library because of their ability to be made on-site at our production facility before the project began and because they could be installed quickly. The panels on this building are also unique because they feature a split face finish.

In all, more than 9,000-square-feet of Winona Stone was used on these projects.
