What makes you special?
Honestly, what doesn’t make me special? Besides being one of the most recognizable buildings on UW–Madison’s campus, students dig my inspired learning spaces, including the recently expanded Learning Commons. The space combines state-of-the-art technology, active classrooms, quiet study spaces, and much more. It’s no wonder why it’s one of the most visited libraries on campus!
What do you enjoy most about being a building?
Over the years, I’ve hosted C-suite leaders, celebrities, and even aerial acrobats! (My ceiling beams are still aching from that one.) But what I like best is being the backdrop for the wins of everyday Business Badgers. I love seeing students ace their midterms, land summer internships, and later return as alumni. One couple even took wedding photos here last year!
What’s next for you?
Business keeps changing, and any building worth its bricks has to keep up. To keep Business Badgers competing at the highest level, my first floor is undergoing a major renovation. Expect modern study spaces, tech-forward classrooms, and vibrant community hubs perfect for watching a Badger game.
