The fate of a University of Wisconsin-Madison landmark is sealed.
The City Council Tuesday night approved a demolition permit for Ogg Hall, the two towers of concrete on West Dayton Street that have served as a student dormitory for four decades. Demolition is expected to begin in the summer of 2007.
The university plans to build a new 600-space residence hall on the same street and use the former Ogg site for recreational open space.
As a former resident of Ogg West (Room 1219 - can't believe I still remember that), I must say I'm entirely without opinion about this. I just wonder what the cost is, measured against the benefit.
