Almanac
Looking for UW Medical School?
Most UW Medical School educators and administrators have moved to the new Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC). The building is located at 750 Highland Ave., just north of the UW Hospital parking ramp and south of the Nielsen Tennis Stadium. A skywalk over Highland Avenue connects the new building to the pharmacy school’s Rennebohm Hall.
As its name suggests, the HSLC will be the site of instruction for students from several health professions—including medical, nursing and physician assistant students—beginning this fall.
Components of the Medical School that are now housed in the HSLC include admissions, multicultural affairs, student services, curriculum and instruction, administration, human resources and Medical School Alumni.
The Middleton, Weston and Powers libraries also have been consolidated in the Ebling Library, located on the second and third floors of the HSLC.
Medical School units that remain at the Medical Science Center on the central campus include anatomy and its teaching laboratories, basic science departments, the Physical Therapy Program, the Clinical Laboratory Science Program and Physician Assistant Program administrative offices.

Backward Glance
From Wisconsin Week of Sept. 7, 1994: If the more than 1,600 freshmen who have signed up for appointments are any indication, the university’s new Cross-College Advising Services (CCAS) will enjoy runaway success.
CCAS grew out of a survey of undergraduates done in 1993. The study showed that students, particularly beginning students who have not declared a major, wanted more help in achieving a fit between their educational and career goals.
A 10-member team of academic staff advisers has been assembled to work cooperatively with faculty and academic staff advisers in each school and college.
