Building representatives spoke to the Associated Students of Madison's Legislative Affairs Committee Monday about the possible development of new student housing high-rise near Grand Central.
The new high-rise would be partially located on the property of St. Francis Episcopal Church at the corner of Mills Street and University Avenue.
Currently, the building is ""basically without a plan,"" according to representative Bill White, who attended the committee meeting seeking student input on the future structure.
Chair Sam Polstein said committee representatives questioned the building's potential amenities, retail spaces and overall appearance.
""Obviously, it's going to be a building right in the heart of campus,"" Polstein said. ""We first off want it to fit in, and we also want it to be aesthetically pleasing.""
If approved, construction on the new high-rise could start as soon as late summer or early fall and would finish in time for student move in by Fall 2012.
