6 Things To Do in MU’s New Space
If you haven’t heard, Memorial Union’s west wing is open for business now that Phase I of the Memorial Union Reinvestment is complete. 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 Lounge
Floor-to-ceiling windows + cozy seating + gorgeous year-round views of Lake Mendota and the Terrace = A bookworm’s dream come true.
2. Create Something in Wheelhouse Studios
Awaken your inner artist. There are plenty of Wheelhouse employees happy to help you get crafty.
3. Rent a Kayak from Outdoor UW
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
Ponder life and soak in all the talent that local, well-known and student artists created for your viewing pleasure.
6. Grab a Snack or Drink from Der Stiftskeller’s Outdoor Window
Now you don’t have to walk all the way into the Stift to get that delicious popcorn!
