Van Hise Hall, the tallest building in Madison, could be demolished under the long-range campus master plan now being crafted for the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Gary Brown, the director of UW’s Office of Planning and Landscape Architecture, told The Capital Times that Van Hise – along with many other buildings that date from the 1960s and 1970s – has such basic problems that it would be cheaper to tear it down than to try to fix it.
