MADISON, Wis. -- The 42-year history of one of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's most historic dormitory halls will come to an end next week.Students will vacate Ogg Hall for the last time after finals are finished next week. The building is set to be demolished over the summer, WISC-TV reported.Many students said that they're wondering what the legacy of Ogg Hall will be."I think when you select a building to tear down, it almost takes on more than it really did," said University Housing Director Paul Evans. "To be fair, during the time that Ogg was used, it wasn't that highly thought of as a building. Because of some of the design problems students would say, 'Oh, you got assigned to Ogg?'"One of the university dorms being built to replace Ogg will carry its predecessor's name. It will be known as the New Ogg Hall, WISC-TV reported.
