flag UW–Madison to rename Music Hall to Herb Kohl Hall in 2029 after $30M gift for public policy expansion.

flag The University of Wisconsin–Madison will rename its historic Music Hall to Herb Kohl Hall in 2029 after receiving a $30 million gift from Herb Kohl Philanthropies, the largest in the school’s history. flag The donation will fund renovations to create a centralized home for the rapidly growing La Follette School of Public Affairs, supporting the launch of a new undergraduate public policy major in fall 2026 and expanding enrollment to up to 400 students within five years. flag The project, approved by the Board of Regents in February 2026, aims to enhance collaboration and preserve the building’s historical character while modernizing it for academic use.
