Bakers Place

This 14-story high-rise, partially constructed with exposed mass timber, is the first of its kind in Madison. Set to introduce 206 luxury apartments to the city's growing landscape, Bakers Place combines innovative living solutions with a commitment to environmental stewardship. The project is currently under construction and is slated for completion in April 2025. Learn more at cdsmith.com/bakersplace.

UW-Madison Babcock Hall

The renovation of UW-Madison's Babcock Hall and expansion of the Center for Dairy Research (CDR) further elevated its standing as one of the world's premier dairy food research centers. The $72 million project modernized Wisconsin's dairy education and research capabilities, creating facilities that exceed industry standards. With new specialty cheese ripening rooms, advanced processing equipment, and spaces for product innovation, the CDR reinforces Madison's position as a global leader in dairy research.

UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine

The 139,000 SF, three-story addition, completed in November 2023, marks a new era in veterinary care and education at UW-Madison's School of Veterinary Medicine. This facility doubles the size of the small animal hospital and triples the space for infectious disease research, addressing the school's growing needs. With advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities, specialized operating rooms, and a dedicated cancer center, the expansion enhances patient care and supports research. The project also includes a covered arena for year-round large animal examinations, reinforcing the caliber of work that UW-Madison does to advance animal and human health.
