UWS’s New Floating Classroom and Research Vessel is in Final Stages of Completion

SUPERIOR, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin Superior’s new state of the art floating classroom and research vessel is in its final stages before opening its doors to students.

It has been over a year in the making for UWS’s Lake Superior Research Institute, who, with the help of donations are making the floating classroom come to life.

The vessel, named “The Sadie Ann“will support learning for educators, researchers and UWS students.

Along with providing programs for K-12 education and adults.

“We think that the classroom can be used by all learners, grade school, up through adults 55 and older. We also believe that it can meet many disciplines. So, arts and humanities will be able to use the floating classroom vessel, The Sadie Ann.”

The vessel was built in Louisiana and is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

After coast guard requirements are finalized, “The Sadie Ann” will sail to its new home of Lake Superior.
