Memorial UnionMemorial Union: The Heart of Campus
Since opening its doors in 1928, the Memorial Union has become one of the most popular and well-recognized spots in Madison. The classic Italian-Renaissance style building sits on the banks of Lake Mendota and boasts a picturesque lakeside terrace with 600 colorful sunburst chairs – now a university icon. Among its many treasures, the building houses a 1300 seat theater, restaurants and delis, a games room, a craft shop, and a German-style tavern. In addition, Memorial Union offers over 20 dedicated meeting rooms and event spaces, including elegant reception and banquet areas in Great Hall and Tripp Commons. Memorial Union Map
