MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A cybersecurity research lab is opening at the University Research Park in Madison.

It's located in a building owned by the Wisconsin Security Research Consortium, which is a public and private mix of entities dedicated to improving the state's climate for national cybersecurity research.

The building also includes the Wisconsin Technology Council. Its president Tom Still tells the State Journal (http://bit.ly/1FLunBL ) classified research done at the consortium would be owned by the federal government.

The University of Wisconsin System won approved from state Legislature last year to conduct more classified research, which it had abandoned nearly 45 years ago.
