High hopes rest on UW-Madison?s shining new research building. Rising up from the center of campus, the glass-plated Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery could be the site of important medical breakthroughs ? the newest treatment for cancer or insights into genetic diseases. But officials also want it to be a place for the public to come and learn about science, a symbol of scientific discovery for the entire campus. “The building is unlike anything we?ve built before,” said John Wiley, former UW-Madison chancellor and interim director of one arm of the institutes. “In fact, I don?t think there?s anything like it anywhere.”
