At around 1 p.m. Sunday, a large slab of concrete fell from the third-floor facade of the University of Wisconsin Van Hise Hall, crashing directly in front of its main entrance, according to a tweet from the UW System.
The building remains open with the affected Linden Drive entrance being closed, UW spokesperson Meredith McGlone said in an email statement to The Badger Herald. McGlone said no classes are held in the building this semester and no injuries were reported.
