A grand, sweeping vision is of the university to provide a physical campus that facilitates the type of necessary in order to plan for the next generation. Just as the UW Board of learning that cannot be achieved in isolation. The experience of “going off Regents in 1894 recognized that knowledge never reaches its final goals and to college” is a rite of passage that forges young adults into well-rounded requires continual “sifting and winnowing”, it is the role of the project design thinkers. As alternatives continue to multiply and recede, UW–Madison will team and the university to understand that the campus landscape will never provide consistency and an unmatched experiential component and the natural reach a final state of completion. It is a living, literally breathing, organism landscape provides a visual and physical refuge that reduces stress and helps that is in a constant state of change.

This Landscape Master Plan celebrates that rich history, but incredible, world-class institution. From the earliest conceptions of the challenges how we move forward to create a better campus that will be a model university, the founders took care to place the campus in a prominent location – for all universities.

  • Observatory Hill
    Observatory Hill Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions January 2010) Quinn Evans|Architects University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Division of Facilities Planning and Management ©2010, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin-Madison Cultural Landscape Inventory Observatory Hill DEFINITIONS What is a “cultural landscape”? The following document is based on concepts and techniques developed by the National Park Service. The NPS has produced a series of manuals for identifying, describing, and maintaining culturally significant landscapes within the national park system.1 The National Park Service defines a cultural landscape as a geographic area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein[,] associated with a historic event, activity, or person, or [one] that exhibits other cultural or aesthetic values.2 In 1925, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) summarized the process that creates cultural landscapes: “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result.” 3 Similarly, the writer J. B. Jackson (1909-1996) looked upon the landscape as a composition of spaces made or modified by humans “to serve as infrastructure or background for our collective existence.”4 What is a “cultural landscape inventory”? 5 This cultural landscape inventory for Observatory Hill is one of eight such studies completed as part of the UW-Madison Cultural Landscape Resource Plan. Each inventory defines the boundaries of a distinct cultural landscape on campus, summarizes its history, describes its current condition, and makes recommendations about its treatment. In addition to these eight cultural landscape inventories, two companion documents address the archaeology and overall history of the campus.
