STUDENT UNION INITIATIVE
Preserving the Past. Building the Future.
Since its very founding in 1907 the Wisconsin Union has embodied the heart and soul of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Student Union Initiative will ensure a future for the Union and give current students the once in a lifetime chance to leave a lasting legacy on the campus they love.

Memorial Union, opened in 1929, when there
were 8,000 students on campus
|

Union South, built in 1971, when there
were 30,000 UW-Madison students. |
The Student Union Initiative will:
- Bring the Memorial Union up to current safety and accessibility codes while preserving and enhancing the building's historic ambiance.
- Build a new south campus union designed to attract students, meet the campus' growing needs, and reflect the future in green technology and building materials.
- Give students control over every aspect of the project and ownership of the final results.
Fee reduced from $96 to $48 per semester for the first two years.
