The Union Terrace is scheduled to get a makeover next year, prompting an outcry from some Memorial Union users who worry that spectacular lake views from one of Madison?s signature spots will be obscured. At issue is a planned expansion to the north of the Union Theater for a glassed-in student lounge and theater lobby. Mark Guthier, Wisconsin Union director, said the addition will not reduce terrace seating. He said a study found that views of sunsets over Lake Mendota will be changed ?very little.?
