About The Project

Restoration and Rehabilitation of the Wisconsin State Capitol represented a comprehensive effort that extended from preliminary research and programming through construction activities. Intensive survey, documentation and research were key components of the planning and execution of this project, which included the restoration of public spaces, rehabilitation of private office and support space and the integration of new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and telecommunications systems. Initially the preservation was completed by a joint venture between Isthmus Architecture and Kahler Slater.
