UW-Madison moves forward with plan to replace Gordon Commons dining hall

It was built in 1965 as an all-you-can-eat cafeteria, serving three meals a day to a line of hungry college students. But UW-Madison officials want to build a new dining hall to better feed todayâ??s army of undergraduates. Plans to tear down Gordon Commons, 717 West Johnson St., and build a new $34 million cafeteria next to it will be presented before a city of Madison committee Wednesday.
