Design Principles Design Principles: 1.Enhancing the people magnet effect, the building and the site should be a hub, connecting the region. 2.Green space will create a people-friendly oasis. 3.At every scale, the building should feel exceptionally comfortable. 4.Back of house functions are omnipresent but invisible. 5.Human Factors are emphasized. 6.Every space in the building advance the mission, vision and values of the Wisconsin Union as the University’s cross-campus community builder. 7.Connection between indoors and outdoors is emphasized. 8.The building is far more impressive in person than in photos.

Readily Apparent: Our programs are what make the Union successful and are essential to meeting our mission. Not So Readily Apparent: Dining and retail provide important ways for students, faculty, staff, and members to connect with the campus and fulfill our mission. Revenue from these units are essential to providing programming, and will only become more so in the future. These operations must be successful if the Wisconsin Union can continue to meet the needs of the campus and community in the decades to come. What you should know that is, and is not, obvious:
