About the Program
Enjoy a special presentation:
Extending Our History and Embracing the Future
Featuring:
Aaron Williams ’02, interim director of campus planning and landscape architecture
The UW–Madison Campus Master Plan is the guiding document for the physical development of the 939-acre flagship institution of the UW System. What makes this campus on an isthmus so spectacular to its 72,000 students, faculty, and staff — as well as the greater Madison community and the state of Wisconsin? How can we design an enduring, beautiful, and sustainable future that honors our history, traditions, and spirit of place for the next 175 years?
Dinner will be a plated meal featuring your choice of prime rib, chicken cordon bleu, or hand-battered shrimp. Coffee and milk will be provided. A cash bar will be available.

About the Speaker
Aaron Williams ’02 currently serves as the interim director of Campus Planning & Landscape Architecture, overseeing the development, interpretation, and implementation of the campus master plan on the 939-acre University of Wisconsin campus. Additionally, as the university’s landscape architect, he is involved in physical development area plans, land-use studies, building massing studies, mobility planning, campus signage and wayfinding, coordinating the municipal zoning approval process, and being a liaison between adjacent neighborhoods and campus stakeholders. After completing studies at UW–Madison, Williams had stints with Sasaki Associates in Watertown, MA, and SAA Design Group in Madison, before joining his alma mater in 2015 in Facilities Planning & Management. Hailing from Antigo, he considers himself an Antigonian and credits the area for his landscape aesthetic and appreciation of the natural world.
