An estimated $34 million dining hall project for the University of Wisconsin-Madison may get snagged in the trees.
The proposed Gordon Commons building has received state approval, but when the project went before Madisonâ??s Urban Design Commission for an informational presentation, some commission members immediately called for more trees to improve aesthetics and safety. â??The unfortunate part of the building is that they have to have a dining hall throughout the construction process,â? said Bruce Woods, commission chairman, â??so the green space wonâ??t happen until the new building is done and the old building can come down.â?
