With the creation of a state law stating that houses must be equipped with a sprinkler system for safety reasons, some Greek houses off University of Wisconsins campus are opting to take the opportunity for full-blown renovations.
Reporting from theWisconsin State Journal said the concern for fires at Greek houses arose after a fire destroyed the former structure of Sigma Phi Epsilon in 2008. A 2006 state law set the requirement that fraternities and sororities install sprinkler systems by Jan. 1 of this year, according to the story.
Eric Flanagan, a foundation board member for Delta Upsilon, said hes seen no complications with meeting the sprinkler requirements. He said the fraternity learned of the plan in 2006 and took it as an opportunity to update a house that had not been renovated since the 1960s.
At that point we decided we would do a full renovation of the house to coincide with the sprinkler requirements, were doing a full $2.1 million historical renovation of the inside of our house, Flanagan said. The outside of the house, since its a historical building, will remain the same but its a full-gut rehab on the inside.
Flanagan said the money for this makeover was made possible in part by an anchor donor, John Morgridge, who was a UW Alum and a prior president of Delta Upsilon. Morgridge agreed to match any funds raised by the fraternity, Flanagan said.
Currently, Delta Upsilon has raised $1.6 million total, Flanagan said.
Flanagan said the house is currently closed and the renovations will be in full swing from March until August. The house will re-open in time for the fall semester, he said.
Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, said cost was a major obstacle in the renovation efforts.
Each house needs to comply with the sprinkler codes, which can cost anywhere from $200,000 to $500,000, Resnick said.
This can obviously be somewhat burdensome to sorority and fraternity houses, Resnick said.However it also does provide not only increased safety for the members but a chance to revamp many of the houses that havent seen some of the TLC that is otherwise needed.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A fire, and the sprinkler system that subsequently put it out,caused some damageto a Knoxville apartment complex unit.
According to the Knoxville Fire Department, crewsresponded to reports of a fire at a Summit Tower apartment unitaround 4:20 a.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters say they saw flames on the sixth floor from outside the building. Once they made it to the floor, crews say the hallway had become filled with smoke, but that the fire had been mostly extinguished by a sprinkler system.
Officials say no one was found inside the unit.
Firefighters say they began venting the smoke, stopping the water flow, and pushing the water that had made its way from the apartment floor to the complex's hallway.
A few apartments below the floor reported minimal water damage.
Officials say they were informed by the complex's manager that are searching for an empty apartment to temporarily lodge the displaced resident.
If none are available, the American Red Cross of Knoxville will assist with a place to stay.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

RICHMOND -- The city jail was damaged by flooding Wednesday after an inmate attempting suicide broke a fire sprinkler system inside her cell, authorities said.
Police said the 19-year-old tied a blanket to the sprinkler system in an attempt to hang herself, but the weight of her body broke the sprinkler head, causing flooding inside her cell and other jail cells. The cost of repairs has not been determined.
The woman, who was alone in her cell, was taken to the hospital on a 72-hour psychiatric hold, police said. She was listed in stable condition.
The woman was being held in the jail after she was arrested Tuesday at about 9 p.m. on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Police said she and a man assaulted another man with a knife during a disagreement on the 1700 block of Burbeck Avenue.

Richmond: Flooding in city jail after suicide attempt

Cup & Cake owner Jaimie Stodler in her flooded store in Queenstown.
A ''swinging'' leaving do has left some businesses in Queenstown flooded and owners facing a six-figure repair bill.
Businesses off Searle Lane were flooded about 4.15am when a sprinkler system in Nomads backpackers was broken, flooding the budget hostel, Devil Burger, Cup & Cake, Below Zero Ice Bar and Cowboys bar.
Staff were busy cleaning up this morning on Valentine's Day, one of the busiest retail days of the year in Queenstown, waiting for electricians, carpet cleaners and insurance assessors.
Senior constable Chris Blackford, of Queenstown, said a 25-year-old man and 23-year-old woman, both British, were arrested and charged with wilful damage.
They arrived back at Nomads, where they paid a discounted rate in exchange for cleaning, about 4am after their last night out in Queenstown before a scheduled flight to Australia today.
''They started to dance on tables and whilst on the tables it's alleged they swung off the sprinkler system pipe, which broke.''
The pipe was pulled down and water started gushing out, flooding the first floor, ground level and neighbouring downstairs properties causing significant damage, he said.
''The potential for a six-figure sum is not unrealistic.''
