Parking validation

Parking for guests who park in Lot 75 (University Hospital) can be validated by one of two methods:

  • Units can purchase validation tickets from UW Transportation Services using a TS#.  Units only get charged when the tickets are used.
  • Validation can be handled online using the parking ticket number of the guest. Staff need a password in order to validate parking using this site.

Room, atrium and equipment reservations

The EMS online scheduling system can be used to reserve classrooms and conference rooms in the Health Sciences Learning Center, Clinical Science Center, Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research and UW Medical Foundation Centennial Building. Audio/visual equipment, moveable furniture and accessories can also be checked out using this system. Available equipment includes tables, chairs, announcement signs, poster/display boards, easels, microphones and whiteboards.

For educational spaces, such as the second-floor cluster and small group rooms or first-floor  Clinical Teaching and Assessment Center exam rooms, contact Becki Munson-Salzwedel in the Medical Education Office at becki.munson@wisc.edu.

To reserve the HSLC atrium, fill out the online form.

Equipment/physical plant

If you’re holding a large event and would like to have tables and chairs set up in the atrium, you may rent them and arrange for UW Madison Physical Plant staff move existing HSLC furniture out of the atrium and set up the tables and chairs in your desired configuration. To get started, complete a service request from the Physical Plant website.

Cost center numbers

Cost center numbers are alpha-numeric account numbers associated with your funding string to allow other campus departments to bill for internal services. Examples of cost center numbers are:

  • Transportation Services: “TS” number
  • Physical Plant: “B” number
  • Fleet Services: “T” number

Most services provided by UW-Madison Physical Plant or Transportation Services will require a cost center number. To find out if your unit already has one, or to set one up, contact Academic Affairs accountant Joeann Evans at jlevans4@wisc.edu.

Items can be purchased from SWAP. UW departments can view the online auction or visit the SWAP Shop at 1061 Thousand Oaks Trail in Verona.
