Last October, the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced a delay in the expected January 2020 opening of its 240,000-square-foot Nicholas Recreation Center. Officials cited multiple reasons for the setback in a transparent news release and announced that the $96 million facility would open later this year. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, pushing back its opening even further.
