On the northern border of Marquette University, there is a 40-year-old building that needs more than a little TLC.
Once home to Village Laundry, the one-story, 8,850-square-foot building at 1222 W. Wells St. now has rusted metal along the top and broken blinds lining the windows.
The property is also the former home of a Trailways bus terminal.
The university will begin razing the structure this month, according to Chris Stolarski, university spokesman.
“Long-term plans for the site have not been determined, but in the short term we will use the space to reallocate some surface parking as part of our ongoing campus master planning process,” Stolarski said.
