Adding another wrinkle to the growing range of housing options at UW-Madison, leaders of the Pres House today will hold a ceremonial ground breaking for a $17 million private dorm aimed at helping students explore their faith.
The seven-story building, slated for a church-owned parking lot just behind the Pres House at 731 State St., will provide beds for about 280 students starting in fall 2007. Reservations will be taken starting this fall, and construction will begin in early July.
