Students find ‘green’ possibilities in proposed building designs

Designs for new buildings and adaptive reuse of current structures will receive “green” treatment, courtesy of students in UW–Madison landscape architecture and interior design classes and UW-Milwaukee’s programs in architecture and urban planning.

The students will outline their ideas at a public presentation at 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 11, at Memorial Union’s Tripp Commons. The focus will be on Van Hise Hall and Bardeen Medical Laboratories, with handmade wood models of conceptual designs, a custom-built scale model of the central campus and drop-on sections to illustrate how the designs will fit in their proposed surroundings.
