CAMPUS AND VISITOR RELATIONS
WELCOME
O
BASCOM HALL
n behalf of the entire
University of Wisconsin–
Madison community, thank you for
choosing to visit our bustling and
beautiful campus. We hope you
have a great time while you are
here and will carry fond memories
with you when you depart.
Everyone should be able to find something here to
enjoy. Your explorations might range from nanoscale
engineering to the wonders of the universe. Our theaters and galleries showcase the finest in fine arts. You
can cheer on our student athletes or take in a sunset
along the lakeshore. High-tech labs, peaceful gardens
and historic landmarks add to UW–Madison’s unique
character, which I’m confident you will find appealing.
There are thousands of Badgers studying, teaching
and providing vital services to enable us to fulfill our
mission of education, research and service. While this
guide will help you choose the memorable places you’ll
visit, we hope the people here leave you with an
equally lasting impression.
On, Wisconsin!

POPULAR DESTINATIONS
MEMORIAL UNION TERRACE
Can’t decide what to do first? The following are some favorites.
Memorial Union, located on Lake
Mendota, is where people meet, eat,
hear music and just chill. The Terrace is
one of Madison’s most popular gathering spots. 265–3000, union.wisc.edu.
Union South features great places
to eat, as well as spaces to relax, see
a movie, hear bands, and bowl. The
Badger Bash prior to every home
football game is also hosted here.
890–3000, union.wisc.edu.

Camp Randall Stadium comes alive
on football Saturdays when 80,321
fans cheer on the Badgers. Visit the
UW Athletics Welcome Center for
great moments in Badger history or

LANDMARKS
BASCOM HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
Bascom Hill Historic District has some of the oldest buildings on campus. Civil War soldiers once
drilled here, and maypole celebrations, parades,
gatherings, demonstrations and romantic meetings
have all taken place on the hill. As you visit, imagine
the thousands of scholars that have walked the hill
and buildings before you. Check out 12 plaques
that describe the area’s history or schedule a tour*,
265–9500.
The Lincoln Statue has a place of honor on Bascom
Hill because President Lincoln signed the Morrill
Act in 1862, which designated the university as a
land-grant institution. The bronze statue is the only
replica of an original cast for Lincoln’s Kentucky
birthplace.
The Red Gym (Armory and Gymnasium)
was built in 1894 as a militia training and
student recreation center.

swim where we now walk, and stand
beneath the tusks of a mastodon.

Noland Hall (first floor), enormous
African beetles and brilliant butterflies in the Insect Research Displays
in Russell Laboratories (3 north),
cutaway engines in Mechanical
Engineering (lobby), or ponder ‘400
million years ago’ in the ‘rockin’est’
courtyard in the country in Weeks
Hall. Find more on your own almost
anywhere on campus.
