The Wisconsin Union South would be razed or renovated – and students would pay a major part of the cost of the project, which could include a hotel, according to plans under discussion.
Spokesman Marc Kennedy confirmed that Wisconsin Union officials are actively considering the fate of the 34-year-old building, a center for University of Wisconsin-Madison social life that includes restaurants, meeting rooms and study space. They are also planning upgrades to the main Memorial Union that would include accessibility improvements and better Internet access.
