Library Mall Redevelopment Study

This project seeks to provide advanced planning for the redevelopment of Library Mall, the public open space between Memorial Library and the Wisconsin Historical Society, on the UW-Madison campus.

Project Goals:

• Provide a welcoming and inclusive vision for the redevelopment of Library Mall.
• Engage a broad cross section of the community in an equity-based approach.
• Integrate the public civic space into the overall East Campus Mall/State Street context.
• Prioritize sustainability to meet campus goals and resiliency planning efforts.
• Create a flexible vision allowing a variety of programming opportunities.
• Support and foster awareness of the Association of American Colleges & Universities Principles of Excellence as adopted by UW-Madison through the physical development.

The project intent is to follow the recommendations of the 2015 Campus Master Plan-Landscape Master Plan which indicates a large and open public gathering space with new paving, landscape plantings, seating, lighting, stormwater management, and passive recreation lawn areas. The study will define project goals based on stakeholder input, provide conceptual alternatives, prepare cost estimates and an anticipated schedule for completion while providing an illustrative vision of the preferred alternative for fund raising purposes.
