If you’re planning to create a list of UW–Madison’s buildings, make sure to use pencil — things are changing fast! The newest addition to campus is the School of Veterinary Medicine’s (SVM) North Building; its first phase opened in spring 2024. Expanded to over 150,000 square feet, the upgraded building will allow vets to serve over 35,000 cases annually and has more space for students, faculty, and staff to collaborate on cases and do groundbreaking research. It even has designated waiting rooms to keep four-legged patients from fighting like cats and dogs. SVM’s South Building is still undergoing renovations until 2025. Once complete, it will have an expanded cancer center, a 14,000-square-foot covered arena for year-round examinations, and Wisconsin’s first space dedicated to large animal isolation. The South Building will also be home to the horses that serve in the UW Police’s Mounted Unit. Campus’s transformation is far from over, with several new developments still on the way. In 2025, Morgridge Hall will open its state-of-the-art doors to students from the School of Computer, Data, and Information Sciences. This will be followed by the College of Letters and Science’s Irving and Dorothy Levy Hall in 2026, and the newly announced Phillip A. Levy Engineering Center, anticipated to open in 2028.
