The UW System Board of Regents also unanimously approved the proposed Memorial Union renovation plans, the destruction of Brothers Bar and Grill on University Avenue and the addition of club seats in the Kohl Center.
Bartell said the board passed the Memorial Union renovation plans because they were modified after UW-Madison students voted against the former plans in this fall's Associated Students of Madison election.
"The Union went back and asked designers to look again and take into consideration the objections that had been raised and [a proposed] addition is now considerably smaller than before," Regent Jeffrey Bartell said.
Bartell said Brothers will stay in its current location until May so bar owners can find a new site.
The board also passed a resolution allowing the addition of the "South End Club" to the Kohl Center, an area for patrons to eat and drink in the arena.
