Your well-being and safety are important to us. All WCM programs are continuing through online instruction.

Based on guidance from local public health experts, our physical locations will remain closed until the city of Milwaukee reaches the final phase of its reopening plans. We will keep you posted.

When we do reopen, it will happen in phases, with staff returning first, followed by faculty, followed by students. This will give us time to make sure all best-practice safety measures are in place and that these measures are clearly communicated to our community as we navigate the uncertainty of COVID-19

Here are some of the new safety measures that we anticipate for the reopening of our physical locations, as we keep the health and safety of our community in mind:

• Required masks/face coverings at all times by staff and visitors.
• An update to the HVAC system at the McIntosh|Goodrich Mansion that
  maximizes circulation and air flow.
• Daily deep-cleanings of all WCM teaching spaces. Classrooms will include a
  sanitizing kit to be used before and after each usage.
• New signage that outlines updated foot-traffic patterns and physical
  distancing measures.
• A new maximum capacity limit for classrooms and group activities, posted publicly
  and in accordance with guidelines from the City of Milwaukee.
• Frequent sanitation of restrooms, which will have new social distancing practices.
• Temperature checks upon entering physical locations.
