University of Wisconsin Science Hall
University of Wisconsin Science Hall, Historical university building in Madison, United States
Science Hall features red brick walls rising from a Berlin rhyolite foundation, with a rectangular central tower and two extending wings on campus.
Built in 1887 as one of the first buildings constructed entirely of masonry and metal materials, Science Hall earned National Historic Landmark status in 1993.
The building houses multiple academic departments, including Geography and Environmental Studies, contributing to scientific research and education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
