- 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 Universitys cross-campus community builder.
7.Connection between indoors and outdoors is emphasized. 8.The
building is far more impressive in person than in photos. Crafted
by the Unions Steering Committee (Leadership Team & Council

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:
