History CONNECTING PAST AND PRESENT, EMBRACING THE FUTURE First envisioned to serve as an “undergraduate playground,” the Terrace was constructed in 1928 and quickly became a favorite gathering spot for students, parents and alumni alike. A major improvement project recently added 900 feet of new seawall to the Terrace, new dining locations and guest amenities to improve accessibility, sight lines and customer comfort.
Terrace Summer Presented by Wisconsin Union Directorate Wisconsin Union Directorate (WUD) is the student programming and leadership board that organizes, promotes and runs hundreds of recreational, cultural, artistic, fun and engaging events and experiences each year.
