Overview Looking Northwest
Considered the front façade, the south face is identical to the north façade, except you can't see it for the bleachers that are part of Camp Randall Stadium. Note the stone cartouche at the peak of the roof with the "W" emblazoned on it. A matching cartouche is on the north face of the building.
East and west façades also match each other.
