Dairy industry raising funds for Babcock Hall upgrade

The dairy industry is swiftly raising millions of dollars to pay at least half the estimated $32 million cost of renovating and expanding a 60-year-old dairy plant on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus because the outdated building is an embarrassment to America?s Dairyland.

Babcock Hall may be best known by generations of UW students for its iconic, award-winning gourmet ice cream, sold on-site and around campus.
