UW-Madison officials are proposing a project that would reclaim some of the big, older houses in the Vilas and Greenbush neighborhoods that, over the years, have turned into run- down student apartments.
Students have been moving out of the homes, which are privately owned, in the near West Side neighborhoods in recent years, choosing instead to live in newer apartment buildings and residence halls, said Gary Brown, UW director of planning and landscape architecture.
