<p>Good news</p>

<p>The City Council voted Tuesday to approve the replacement of Ogg Hall with a 600-bed dormitory and expanded recreational open space.</p>

<p>The new residence hall will replace the former Ogg Hall building site and the asphalt lot located to the west of the structure. The new building will be six stories and encompass approximately 184,000 square feet.</p>

<p>The proposed structure will also house both first- and second-year students.</p>

<p>According to Gary Brown, UW-Madison's Director of Planning and Landscape Architecture, renovating Ogg Hall to current housing standards proved to be cost-prohibitive.</p>

<p>Questions about Ogg Hall ranged from the serious to the jovial, as members of the council asked if they could just "blow it up."</p>

<p>my friends and i were wondering if they'd let the students chunk rocks at the building beforehand. This is actually where I live now, and I wouldn't mind contributing...</p>
