In 2012, the UW-Madison began design on Alumni Park, a gift to the campus from the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) as a finale to the organization’s year-long celebration of its 150th anniversary.
When completed, the park will create an inspiring and educational promenade that connects UW’s most popular gathering places—the shore of Lake Mendota, Library Mall, and the Memorial Union, while providing an appropriate northern terminus to the seven-block long East Campus Mall.
The project is 8,000 GSF/4,800 ASF and two stories. Improved interior spaces will support social and educational programming for the WAA and will enhance their already successful alumni relations, advancement, and development functions which are led from this location.
