Designing the Future continued...

Dynamic redevelopment will make these historic blocks a vibrant center for living, learning, performing and creating. New Ogg Hall anchors an unused corner of Dayton and Park streets. Exciting new facilities within the Gateway area include an expanded Chazen Museum of Art and a music performance facility open to the public.

A School of Music academic building will replace the existing UW Extension building. Across University Avenue, the University Square redevelopment project is a public-private partnership that opened the fall of 2008. University Health Services, a Student Activities Center and Student Services have come together under one roof, along with new retail, commercial and housing space.

Located across from the Kohl Center on Frances Street and formerly a university warehouse, the Art Lofts houses the Art Department’s glass lab, metal sculpture foundry, ceramics, graduate darkroom and digital facilities, and papermaking areas, studio spaces for more than 60 faculty and graduate students, and public spaces for the display of student and faculty artwork.

Hundreds of students, faculty, staff, alumni, guests and members of the public attended the Art Department and School of Education's celebration of the opening of the Art Lofts facility during the first week of May, 2009.

One of the most exciting aspects of the East Campus Gateway project, which includes a facelift of Memorial Union, is the number of ways donors can commemorate extraordinary experiences that they enjoyed at the UW-Madison.
