New spaces mean new experiences, so we’ve put together six of the many activities you can do while exploring the new west wing. Can you check everything off this list?

 

1. Read a Book in the Sunset LoungeWI Union 4673 Sunset Lounge_N5R0248

You’ve needed to work on your balance anyway, so why not do it on the beautiful waves of Lake Mendota?

 

4. Catch a Show in Shannon Hall

With roomier seats, an expanded orchestra pit and huge performers like Yo-Yo Ma, bigger is better.

 

5. Marvel at the Displays in the Class of 1925 Art Gallery
