A concrete slab has fallen off of one of Madison’s tallest buildings.
The slab broke off the side of Van Hise Hall on the UW-Madison campus on Sunday, according to reports. The slab fell from the third-floor deck.
A portion of the wall lay across the sidewalk while another section leaned against a construction dumpster, which was placed near the entrance for a future restroom renovation, according to reports.
There were no reported injuries and the 19-story hall remained open on Monday, according to reports.
GREEN BAY (WKOW) The head of the University of Wisconsin System is asking state lawmakers to help protect the system from hackers.
Interim President Tommy Thompson went before state senators this week, telling them the system has been targeted.
Thompson said the infrastructure needs an upgrade and it will be expensive, but he didn’t allocate funds in his recent budget to fix it.
“How easy it is to hack and don’t think were not being hacked,” Thompson said before the Senate Committee on Universities and Technical Colleges in a meeting held at UW-Green Bay. “I want to change that, I need your help.”
