Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Student Activity Center be located?

The SAC is located on the third and fourth floors of the new University Square building. The building resides between University Avenue and Johnson Street, bordered by Lake Street on the east side, in the same location as the previous University Square.

What is the purpose of the SAC?

The purpose of the SAC is to provide a centralized area where many UW-Madison organizations can work and collaborate. It provides organizations with a cubby space or storage locker, not to mention all the benefits that come with the creation of a brand new building. Some of those benefits include state of the art meeting and conference rooms, a large rooftop deck, study areas including a study lounge with a fireplace, a multipurpose room equipped for dancing, student-art lined gallery hallway, kitchen organizations can check out for cooking, coffee cart and vending machines, not to mention numerous windows, comfy chairs, computers, lockers, and a bridge.

I heard that the SAC is being paid for with segregated fees – who decided that?

In short, students decided. The project originated as an idea between several students in ASM and other key players on campus such as University Health Services. ASM saw a need for more space on campus for RSOs and UHS was looking to be more centrally located on campus. To make sure we had the full support of the students, we put a referendum on the ballot several years ago for the ASM elections and it passed by a large margin. By passing it through a referendum, students showed their support and made the decision to move forward.

What organizations on campus will be relocated to the SAC after the year 2008?

There will be permanent and semi-permanent space provided for student organizations. To obtain an application to access semi-permanent space, please see the SAC Governing Board page. The permanent anchor tenants will be Student Print, WSUM-Radio, the student-run business incubator and the ASM offices.

How can my organization apply for space in the SAC?

The application period for Fall 2008 has passed. Please watch for postings regarding future allocations..

Who will make the decision on what organizations get space in the new SAC?

Those decisions will be made by the SAC Governing Board, a committee of the Associated Students of Madison. For more information on the SAC Governing Board, see their webpage.

I see Steve Brown ads around the building site. Can you explain the layout of the University Square building?

Absolutely. There is confusion as to why there are Steve Brown advertisements around the building. This is because there are two different buildings, one building consists of Steve Brown apartments while the other building, provides the services listed below.

• Underground: Parking for moped, bikes, and cars alike.
• Floors 1 & 2: Ground level retail. These are stores similar to those existing in the previous University Square.
• Floors 3 & 4: The Student Activity Center.
• Floors 5-8: University Health Services. UHS is relocating to a more convenient area for students and staff of University of Wisconsin.
• Floors 9 & 10: Bursar's Office and Student Financial Aid Office. Both of these services are also moving into a nicer and more centrally located site.
• Floors 10 & 11:  Office of the Registrar

An informational map, parking details and information about the tenants and services provided at 333 East Campus Mall is located at http://www.news.wisc.edu/news/docs/SST333.pdf.
