Memorial Union Reinvestment: First Phase is Under Way
Memorial Union visitors will see construction fences and parking changes around the building as part of the first phase of the Memorial Union Reinvestment project.
The affected areas will include Lot 1 and the building’s southwest corner, where Langdon Street and Park Street intersect.
In 2006, UW–Madison students voted two-to-one to pay to replace the outdated Union South, and upgrade and renovate Memorial Union to enable the building to flourish for another 100 years.
The renovation, which will be completed in phases, will restore the historic building, add modern technology, improve the infrastructure using the latest green standards that promote sustainability and energy efficiency, and improve accessibility for all.
The first phase of the project will focus on the building’s west wing, with a projected completion date of June 2014. For more details about the project and how you can play a part, visit unionreinvestment.wisc.edu/.
