New Gordon Dining and Event Center Opens
Located in the heart of the UW’s Southeast campus neighborhood, the 99,000-square-foot Gordon Dining and Event Center opened in early August 2012, delivering a first-rate experience for University Housing residents, as well as other UW–Madison students, faculty, staff, and parents.
The facility is home to a new dining marketplace named Gordon Avenue Market, a convenience store named Flamingo Run, and a coffeehouse and ice cream shop named the Bean & Creamery. It also includes a variety of seating areas for dining, flexible meeting and event spaces; 55,000 square feet of outdoor recreational green space; and an advanced central kitchen for food preparation. It replaces the former Gordon Commons, providing a wider variety of food choices and fresh, made-to-order options.
