The Alliant Energy Center is located at the gateway to downtown Madison, WI, just off the Beltline (Hwy 12 & 18), on John Nolen Drive. With such a great location, the campus is just five minutes from interstate 90/94 via Hwy 12 & 18, minutes from the Wisconsin State Capitol, Madison’s State Street area and the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, and only 15 minutes from the Dane County Regional Airport, which travels non-stop to and from many key destinations, or to and from from anywhere in the world through connecting hubs.
