Memorial Union Reinvestment

Outdoor UW

Overview

The historic Hoofers and Outdoor Programs facilities were expanded as part of Phase I of the Memorial Union Reinvestment. The new and improved lakefront space provides better views and access to Lake Mendota and includes the beautiful 1,000 square foot Mendota Lodge. Hoofers office spaces were consolidated into one area, which allows for moreĀ  interaction between club leaders and advisors. The history of Hoofers and Outdoor Programs are celebrated throughout the new space and especially in the Harold C. Bradley Lounge, which even features the historic Bradley Canoe. For Outdoor Rentals patrons, new offices just off of the lake entrance are more visible and easily found to facilitate a better and simpler customer experience.
