UW-Madison’s Science Hall receives massive donation from philanthropists

UW-Madison’s Science Hall will be undergoing a major renovation, courtesy of a gift from philanthropists.

John and Tashia Morgridge gifted $85.2 million to help restore the university’s iconic red-brick building.

Science Hall was first constructed in 1887 and was built as the first home of the College of Letters & Science. The renovation project is scheduled to begin in 2027.
