Memorial Union, Student center on Lake Mendota at University of Wisconsin, US.

Memorial Union features multiple dining venues, study spaces, and meeting rooms spread across its limestone building overlooking Lake Mendota waters.

The University of Wisconsin opened Memorial Union in 1928 as a central gathering place for students, maintaining many original architectural elements through subsequent renovations.

Students and faculty gather at the outdoor Terrace to listen to live music performances while seated in the green, orange, and yellow chairs facing Lake Mendota.

Visitors can access Memorial Union through multiple entrances, with parking available at nearby lots including Helen C. White Library Garage and Grainger Hall Ramp.

Der Rathskeller, located inside Memorial Union, displays Germanic-style painted murals on its walls dating from the building's early construction period.
