Hours: During scheduled exhibitions: Wednesday - Friday: 11 am - 5:30 pm The Design Gallery follows the UW's academic calendar and is closed
during the summer, academic breaks, and holidays. We are closed between exhibitions, so be sure to check the exhibit schedule before planning your visit.
The Design Gallery is in Room 70 on the ground floor of the Human Ecology Building, on the
University of Wisconsin-Madison campus between Van Hise Hall and Agricultural Hall.
The street address is 1300 Linden Drive. On the campus map, search for 'Design Gallery': http://www.map.wisc.edu/
You can find bus routes and parking lots on the campus map: http://www.map.wisc.edu/ Search for 'Design Gallery,' and then mouse over the map to reveal pop-up windows for nearby bus routes and parking lots. The free campus buses (routes 80, 81, and 85) stop very close to the Human Ecology Building. On weekends and after 4:30 on weekdays, you can park for free in Lots 20, 26, and 36. (Lot 20 is on University Avenue between Charter and Randall Sts., Lot 26 is street parking along Observatory Drive, and Lot 36 is adjacent to Steenbock Library.) If you're not sure how to get here on foot from any of these lots, check the campus map or call 262-8815 for walking directions. Parking is much more limited before 4:30 on weekdays. You can find metered parking on the upper deck of Lot 36, in Lot 1 at the Memorial Union, and at the Lake Street ramp near Library Mall. All of the free campus buses stop at the Memorial Union. From the Lake Street ramp, you can pick up the 85 at Lake and State Sts. There is one handicapped parking spot available outside the Human Ecology Building. Pull up in front of the building (where the signs say "No Parking Entire Drive") and drive to the east side of the building, then turn left into the parking spot. The Design Gallery is on the west end of the building; you may wish to drop off passengers in front of the west entrance before you reach the handicapped parking area.
