F. PLANNING ISSUES AND THEMES GENERAL PURPOSE REVENUE (GPR) SUPPORTED FACILITIES & FUNCTIONS

Priority Issue Description 1. Poor quality and functionally deficient laboratories: The poor quality and functional

deficiency of existing laboratory space is the foremost planning issue. In Fall 2015, UW-Platteville offered undergraduate degrees in 42 different disciplines, with 21 of those disciplines being specific to the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. In Fall 2015, 58% of UW-Platteville’s overall enrollment was within STEM majors. STEM education is inherently laboratory-intensive, and requires quality, well-functioning laboratories. UW-Platteville is a STEM institution, and is critically challenged with poor quality, poorly-functioning laboratory space across many program areas.

A total of 77 laboratories in 11 buildings are identified as having significant quantity and functionality issues. These buildings, with number of deficient labs noted in parenthesis are: Art Building (3), Boebel Hall Science Building (15), the Center for the Arts (2), Doudna Hall (3), Karrmann Library (1), Ottensman Hall (44), Pioneer Farm Beef Center (1), Pioneer Tower (1), Russell Hall (6), Ullsvik Hall (1). Of these buildings, Boebel Hall, Center for the Arts, Ottensman Hall, Russell Hall and the Pioneer Farm Beef Center have the most desperate lab needs, and are described in-depth below.

Boebel Hall is a functional relic. The building has functionally outdated and obsolete laboratory and classroom space, and deteriorated infrastructure. The building does not have the infrastructure to support a programmatically-required cadaver lab. The Biology Department’s cadaver lab is currently located across campus in the lower level of the Agriculture and Industrial Studies building, in a 386 square foot storage room. This space does not have ventilation or adequate lighting. It is a miserable lab space, but is used due to sheer necessity. Boebel Hall lacks adequate undergraduate research space. DSF #08G1W Phase 1 Renovation completed August 2010, undertook limited renovation on the building. DSF #11F2X Phase 2 Preplanning was completed in May 2012, and cited Phase 2 renovation is needed to support programmatic need. (Note:#12J1K Boebel Hall Phase 2 Design progressed to architect selection “shortlist”, then placed on hold due to lack of funding. On hold since Feb. 2013. Project was identified as the UW System #1 enumeration priority in 2015-17. Submitted for enumeration in 2015-17, but remained unfunded).

Ottensman Hall, constructed in 1966, is the campus’s primary engineering building. It has never been renovated. Ottensman Hall houses the Chemistry Department (124 majors, excluding minors, pre-requisites, electives), Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (543 majors), General Engineering Department (provides freshman and sophomore level general engineering courses to 3,000+ engineering, mathematics and science majors), and Mechanical Engineering (1,074 majors). Ottensman Hall has 44 labs specific to these academic areas, plus lab support areas, 85+ faculty offices and 22 general assignment classrooms. The campus’s 2011 Comprehensive Campus Master Plan notes Ottensman Hall as having a Functional Grade of “F” and a Physical Grade of “iv-poor”. The functional and physical condition of Ottensman Hall is grossly unacceptable for a STEM-focused university.

Ottensman Hall is a rapidly failing building, both physically, and in terms of functionality in supporting the STEM programs within. The building’s MEP infrastructure is beyond life expectancy. Heating, cooling and humidity is uncontrollable in areas of the building. The existing lab configurations, sizing, and infrastructure fail to support academic requirements. The building has severe structural limitations, in that the structural bay spacing/column grid do not allow for adequately sized or shaped labs or classrooms,

UW-Platteville Campus Physical Development Plan 2017-19

7/22/2016 Planning Issues and Themes IE - 2

and floor-to-ceiling heights are constrained and do not allow for adequate HVAC ductwork. These structural issues have critical negative impact on the potential for Ottensman Hall to function effectively as a laboratory and classroom building. (Note: DFD #12L1K Academic Buildings Feasibility Study was completed in December 2015, and the project scope amended to include #12L1K “PLAN B, Chemistry Laboratories Renovation Feasibility Study”, which was completed in March 2016. The PLAN B study completed high-level preplanning for the proposed Ottensman Hall Chemistry Renovation (2nd and 3rd floors) project).

Russell Hall is the university’s Agriculture and Industrial Studies Building. The building was constructed in 1969 and renovated in 1999. Russell Hall’s academic Media Technology Department’s laboratory television and radio studio area is functionally obsolete due to facility layout, lab space limitations and lack of ADA accessibility. Laboratory equipment is not digitally compatible, and is functionally obsolete. Existing photography darkroom laboratory space is relic space and underutilized due to advances in digital photography. The agricultural labs in the building are undersized for the needs of the School of Agriculture. The Industrial Studies labs for Power and Controls, Structures, and Metals/Foundry are severely undersized and lack adequate lab support and storage space. The Metals/Foundry Lab is physically too small and packed with so much lab equipment and lab materials (metal stock, casting materials) that students and staff cannot quickly reach an exit, fire extinguisher or eyewash station without negotiating a maze of heavy and sharp objects, materials stacked and shelved from floor-level to head-height, and a variety of tripping hazards. The Industrial Studies Laser Lab is functionally too small at 401 square feet.

The Pioneer Farm Beef Center was constructed in 1969 as a demonstration and teaching lab. The center has never been updated, and cannot meet modern human and animal safety standards, teaching needs, animal handling, feedstock storage or handling, manure management or stormwater containment requirements. The facility does not meet modern bio-security standards. (Note: As of July 1, 2016, the School of Agriculture is working with the UW-Platteville Foundation on a gift “Beef Center” project that will replace the existing beef center).

The Center for the Arts was constructed in 1983 and has not had any significant improvements other than a modest restroom and lobby renovation project in 2012. Lighting and electrical in the lab areas and workshop spaces is inadequate. Concert Hall stage flooring, lighting, and stage lift system need repair or replacement. Concert Hall seating needs replacement. The theatre stage is in poor condition, and structurally unsound. The theater shop area is functionally too small to support set construction. Set construction frequently overtakes the theater lab stage, and compromises the use of this lab. The Instrument Rehearsal Lab, and the Choral Rehearsal Lab are each functionally too small. The building has an overall shortage of storage and practice space.

2. Academic office space shortage across campus: Distance Learning and Continuing Education Program, Criminal Justice Department, and School of Business, are growing and need to be decompressed. The 2011 Comprehensive Campus Master Plan cited the campus-wide need for faculty and academic staff office space. From the 2011 Master Plan, the unmet need is a minimum of 139 academic offices, with additional need for support spaces. (Note: the development of academic office space is planned in the development of the proposed new Mechanical Engineering Building (Sesquicentennial Hall), Academic Building, and Ottensman Hall Renovation).

3. The campus-wide computer network equipment center has a high-risk, single-point-of-failure potential for all campus operations: Located in the basement of Gardner Hall, the network center is outdated, undersized, not energy efficient, lacks proper environmental controls, and is located in a below-grade area specifically prone to stormwater flooding. No back-up computer network equipment exists. This is noted by DSF# 11E2F Data Center Feasibility Study, completed in 2012. The campus network center has partially-flooded twice in the past seven years, with stormwater each time entering the below grade level, but not physically touching the network center equipment. The effects of the resulting humidity have impacted the equipment each time. Weather patterns over the past seven years have brought torrential storms and severe localized flooding to the nearby communities of Boscobel and Dubuque. These local torrential storms each had the potential to quickly flood and destroy UW-Platteville’s computer network center. (Note: DSF# 12L1K “Academic Buildings Feasibility Study” has identified that a new network center be developed in the proposed new Mechanical Engineering Building (Sesquicentennial Hall), proposed for enumeration in 2017-19).

4. Four heavily-used academic office, student support services and administrative office buildings are at the end of their functional lives: Brigham Hall, Gardner Hall, Royce Hall and Warner Hall were constructed in the period of 1950 to 1962 as traditional residence halls. Since that time, each have been permanently pressed into service in as-is condition, to serve as academic office, student support services, and administrative office buildings. The 165 SF double occupancy residence rooms in each hall are now used as single offices. Current design standards would require these offices to be 120 SF. As a result, each office is 37% too large, and space use efficiency is poor. Each of these buildings has a Functional Rating of “F”, and Physical Grade of “viii-Termination”. The buildings have obsolete space and deteriorated infrastructure. None of the buildings have wall or roof insulation. (Note: the development of the proposed new Sesquicentennial Hall engineering building, Academic Building, and Ottensman Hall Renovation will allow for the Brigham, Gardner, Warner and Royce Halls to be vacated and subsequently razed).

Gardner Hall houses the university-wide computer network center (basement level, below grade), the College of Liberal Arts and Education Dean’s Office, and approximately 120 faculty offices and support spaces specific to academic departments of Biology, Humanities, Mathematics, and Social Sciences. Warner Hall houses many programs and functions including the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, Students with Disabilities services area, and also has approximately 90 faculty offices and support spaces specific to the academic departments of Ethnic Studies, Foreign Language, Psychology and Social Sciences.

Brigham Hall houses the university’s mail and duplicating center, University Publications Office, Registrar’s Office, Campus Police, Student Support Services’ Pioneer Academic and Transitional Help (PATH) Center, the Writing and Tutoring Resources (WATR) Center, Cashiers Office, Financial Aid, and other departments and programs. Access and circulation throughout Brigham Hall is very poor. The Campus Police department area is not entirely physically separate from other building functions, and is therefore not entirely safe and secure in the event of an emergency. There are humidity problems in the lower level of the building.

Royce Hall houses many student support services functions, including Student Health and Counseling Services, and the Study Abroad program. The building also houses Residence Life administrative offices, and some functions related to residence hall maintenance operations. The spaces throughout the building are inefficient and undersized.

UW-Platteville Campus Physical Development Plan 2017-19

7/22/2016 Planning Issues and Themes IE - 4

Brigham, Gardner, Royce and Warner Halls have deteriorated infrastructure and interior finishes. Except for Brigham Hall, they have no ventilation system other than operable windows, have no air-conditioning system, lack adequate heating control, and as a result the buildings are frequently over-heated in fall, winter and spring. Exterior windows are aged and deteriorated. Carpeting, when present, is deteriorated and worn though. Floor tile is breaking apart under the carpet. The interior lighting in each building is aged, deteriorated, not energy efficient.

5. Site Utilities: The Central Heating Plant is deteriorated due to age and years of use. The Central Heating Plant was constructed in 1965, and has never undergone a full renovation. The 2011 Comprehensive Campus Master Plan cites need for renovation. The Central Heating Plant uses natural gas as the primary fuel and coal as the secondary fuel. Gas supplies are subject to interruption and a secondary fuel is necessary. The state of Wisconsin contracts for coal for the institutions, and the supply is in jeopardy as the type of coal is very specific and the firm that supplies coal is in bankruptcy. A project is needed to change the secondary fuel from coal to fuel oil, providing fuel oil storage and necessary boiler changes. Several portions of the campus steam distribution system are at the end of their functional lives due to wear, corrosion and deterioration, including steam pits, steam and condensate lines, condensate pumps, and steam metering equipment.

6. Building Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Systems (MEP): The Williams Fieldhouse HVAC system is original to the facility. Designed and constructed in 1961, it lacks modern controls, and the entire system is worn out. The interlocking metal panel gymnasium ceiling is deteriorated and dented throughout, and will require removal and replacement should access to the ductwork in the gymnasium ceiling be required. (Note: the Williams Fieldhouse Gymnasium HVAC project was most-recently submitted as an All Agency Project for 2015-17, estimate of $2,379,000. Project remains unfunded).

Several buildings are not connected to emergency generators: Brigham Hall, Royce Hall, Gardner Hall and Warner Hall. Note that although these four buildings are at the end of their functional life, these buildings are still heavily used to house academic departments and faculty offices, student support services and administrative offices. The lack of emergency power in these heavily used buildings will be concern until the buildings are no longer used. The Ottensman Hall emergency generator is at the end of its useful life. (Note: the Multi-Building Emergency Generator Install (Brigham, Royce, Warner, Central Stores, Dairy Center project was most-recently submitted as a 2015-17 All Agency Project for 2015-17, estimate of $685,000. Project remains unfunded).

7. Campus-wide general assignment classroom size imbalance: The university has a classroom size imbalance across it inventory, and a shortage “A-level” quality, adequately sized and environmentally controlled classrooms. This is informed by the Fall 2015 Classroom Demand Analysis, and the General Assignment Classroom Assessment and Instructional Technology Survey (updated May 2016). The university has 95 general assignment classrooms, with 41 being “B” type classrooms due to inferior attributes (most frequently poor width to length to ratio, irregular shape, poor HVAC). The university also has a shortage of laboratory storage space, including the Art Building, Center for the Arts, Russell Hall, Ottensman Hall, and Pioneer Farm.

8. Karrmann Library has a Functional Rating of “C”, and a Physical Grade of “iii-Fair”: The building has obsolete space, deteriorated infrastructure, outdated furniture, and the HVAC system capabilities and controls are inadequate. The Main lobby elevator is failing and undersized. The 2011 Comprehensive Campus Master Plan cited these issues. (Note: DSF# 14D1B Karrmann Library Refresh Predesign Study

UW-Platteville Campus Physical Development Plan 2017-19

7/22/2016 Planning Issues and Themes IE - 5

was completed in May 2015).

9. Williams Fieldhouse and Pioneer Athletic Center (PAC) has a shortage of athletic, recreation and office space: DSF# 12F1J Williams Fieldhouse Recreational Space Study confirms space needs. This space study identified the need for an additional four multi-purpose indoor athletic courts, the need to expand the existing Fitness Center (cardiovascular and weight training addition constructed in 2010), and the need for an outdoor artificial turfed and lit recreation field. Student enrollment growth is driving these issues. (Note: Williams Fieldhouse Phase 2 Addition was enumerated in 2015-17. DFD #14K1G Williams Fieldhouse Addition, Phase II began design phase in spring of 2016).

10. Giese Facilities Management Building lack of space, infrastructure is aged and deteriorated: Overall shortage of Facilities Management office and maintenance workshop space. The building was constructed in 1969 to support a campus of less than 5,000 students. Fall 2015 headcount on-campus enrollment was 7,819 students and projected to grow to up to 9,000 students. (Note: All Agency Project DFD #15C2O PLT Giese Central Stores/Maintenance Remodel began design phase in fall of 2015. #15C2O is funded with remaining funds from the PR-funded DFD #09K1M Facilities Storage Building project. The remaining funds are $666,000).

11. Former dairy facility (constructed 1959) at Pioneer Farm is obsolete: The original dairy facility has been obsolete since the construction of the current Diary Center in 2006.

PROGRAM REVENUE (PR) SUPPORTED FACILITIES AND FUNCTIONS

Priority Issue Description 1. Aging Housing Stock: Six Residence Halls (Brockert, Hugunin, McGregor, Pickard,

Wilgus, and Morrow Halls) each have a Functional Rating of “C” Conditional and Physical Grade of “iii” Fair. All six building’s electrical systems, interior finishes, and portions of plumbing systems are aged and deteriorated. (Porter Hall was renovated summer 2012, Dobson Hall in summer 2015, Melcher Hall in summer 2016). A Residence Hall Market and Demand Analysis was completed in 2012. The analysis informed the campus that the programming model (double occupancy rooms) of original halls is still a valid model, and is attractive to many students, and offers the most-economical price-point. The analysis encourages the campus to evaluate housing stock and choose between renovation and replacement. Without renovation, the housing stock becomes less desirable.

2. Pioneer Stadium buildings’ infrastructure is aged and deteriorated: The press box is not ADA accessible, does not have an elevator and the roof is at the end of its life span. Entrance and ticket sales building are at the end of their useful lives. HVAC and plumbing systems in the locker rooms, restrooms, and press box have exceeded their useful lives. Locker room space is inadequate, too small, and cannot serve men’s or women’s soccer, due to the space being used for the fall season by football. Electrical service to complex is at maximum capacity. (Note: Athletics has worked with the UW-Platteville Foundation and a consultant team to complete a UW-Platteville Stadium and Locker Room and Entrance Design Study in June 2015.)

3. Ullsvik Center’s Velzy Commons room divider doors are inoperable: The tall, heavy, retractable wood-panel room divider door system was constructed in 1959, and is prone to misalignment and jamming, and frequently becomes inoperable, impairing the functionality of the 12,000 SF Commons area. This area is used to hold special

University events and Program Revenue functions. (Note: the project was most-recently submitted as an All Agency Project in 2015-17, estimated budget of $221,000. Project remains unfunded).

4. Glenview Commons food service and dining facility has a Functional Rating of “F” and a Physical Grade of “non-applicable”: Glenview Commons was constructed in 1967, and was designed and constructed as 5-level building, with complex circulation and multiple stairways and ramps. A large portion of this building is now off-line due to the opening of a new food service and dining commons in Bridgeway Commons. Due to the unique design of Glenview Commons, it seems that it is not economically feasible to repurpose the vacated spaces. A large sanitary sewer line running under the building is deteriorated and may fail, causing further complications. (Note: Glenview Commons was predominately functionally replaced by Bridgeway Commons food service facility, opened in August 2013).

5. Asphalt Pavement: Residence Hall Circle Drive has several low spots and some large depressions in the asphalt pavement and street structure. (Note: DFD #13E3I Circle Drive Maintenance project was completed in 2013. #13E3I performed preventive maintenance, including curb and gutter work, catch basin replacement, infrared patching, micro surfacing of asphalt and paint striping, to add 5 years to the life of the old pavement and street structure. #13E3I was not a long-term solution. The proposed Circle Drive Renovation project was most-recently submitted in August 2014 as part of the 2015-17 All Agency Project submissions, estimated budget of $593,000, and remains unfunded).

6. Markee Pioneer Student Center: First Floor Terrazzo has separated from subfloor, there also are issues with the building’s chiller system. (Note: terrazzo floor repair project was most-recently submitted in August 2014 as part of the 2015-17 All Agency Project submissions, estimated budget of $396,000, and remains unfunded).

Space Needs Summary

7/22/2016 IF - 1

SPACE NEEDS SUMMARY The University of Wisconsin-Platteville is the fastest growing University in the UW System. UW-Platteville has increased on campus headcount enrollment by over 68%, growing from 5,310 students in 2003 to 8,967 students in 2015. This sustained enrollment growth over 12 years, coupled with advances in teaching pedagogy and technology aging infrastructure continues to aggressively drive the campus’s significant ongoing qualitative and quantitative space needs. These needs include classrooms, laboratories, and academic offices, and auxiliaries’ spaces including student union/student center space and recreational space.

The sustained enrollment growth is based on the Board of Regents-approved Tri-State Initiative (originally known as the regional workforce initiative or Regional Enrollment Plan). The Tri-State Initiative focuses on the enrollment growth of high-demand, high-economic impact program majors at UW-Platteville including: Engineering, Business Administration, Agriculture, Biology, Industrial Technology Management and Criminal Justice. In 2004 the Board of Regents approved the use of differential tuition to support the Tri-State Initiative, starting in fall semester 2005-06. Under these two initiatives enrollment has grown significantly in many programs, as summarized below.

The university has three colleges: College of Business, Industry, Life Sciences and Agriculture (BILSA), which includes the School of

Agriculture and the School of Business College of Engineering, Mathematics and Science (EMS) College of Liberal Arts and Education (LAE), which includes the School of Education.

The university also has a School of Graduate Studies. In Fall of 2015, the university offered 41 undergraduate academic major programs and 77 minors. Enrollment trends in the three colleges are shown in the table below.

Space Use Classifications based on the Post Secondary Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual (FICM): 2006 Edition

The chart above includes the privately-owned and operated 620-bed Rountree Commons Residence Hall, opened in Fall 2012 and owned by the UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation. It is important to include it in the chart because it is exclusively used and programmed as a residence hall facility to support UW-Platteville. This chart also includes the leased 430-bed Bridgeway Commons Residence Hall and Dining Facility brought online in Fall 2013. The chart excludes UW-Platteville Pioneer Farm buildings. Because UW-Platteville faces a mix of both quantitative and qualitative space needs, the space shortages in the chart above include both quantitative and qualitative space needs. These space needs are detailed in DFD #12L1K Academic Buildings Feasibility Study (Pg. 186 Vol. 1), completed in January 2015.

DFD, UWSA and UW-Platteville completed #08J2K Space Utilization Assessment project in 2008, #11F1F Comprehensive Campus Master Plan in 2011, #12L1K Academic Buildings Feasibility Study in January 2015, and #12L1K Academic Buildings Feasibility Study-PLAN B in March 2016. The focus of the #08J2K project was to complete a quantitative and qualitative analysis regarding campus academic space, including classrooms, laboratories, academic and administrative office facilities, and study facilities. The focus of the Comprehensive Campus Master Plan was to support the vision, values and themes of the University’s Strategic Plan, and guide and shape the physical development of the University. The #12L1K project completed preplanning for four major new buildings, the repurposing and major renovation of Ottensman Hall, and the demolition of four relic buildings (Brigham, Gardner, Royce and Warner Halls). The university has undertaken a student housing master plan, which was completed in 2013. The student housing master plan informed the university of demand for different housing styles, supply and demand, and residence hall rate pricing structure.

In August 2015, the UW System Capital Budget and Planning Office requested that each campus develop and submit “Plan B” options to their respective physical development plans. The Plan B options are intended to:

Be realistic and feasible options that work toward fully or partially replacing respective campus’s existing physical development plans,

SPACE NEED ANALYSIS

Space Needs Summary

7/22/2016 IF - 6

Reduce the quantity, scope and budget of Major Project Requests Meet the needs of the campuses

UW-Platteville has worked strategically and aggressively to develop Plan B options since August 2015. There are several elements that support the formal Plan B option shown in the table below.

DFD #12L1K Academic Buildings Feasibility Study-PLAN B, completed in March 2016, confirmed the feasibility of complete renovation of the 2nd and 3rd floors of Ottensman Hall, for continued use by the Chemistry Department. This partially eliminates the need for the General Engineering and Chemistry Building.

DFD #12L1K Academic Building Feasibility Study, completed in January 2015, provided preliminary space programming and detailed space tabulations for the four new buildings and one building renovation. These projects are shown below as “Plan A”. The university has re-examined the Plan A space programming and space tabulations, and determined that the space programming and space tabulations can be shifted, adjusted and tightened across several projects to fully eliminate the proposed Plan A: General Engineering and Chemistry Building and the Plan A: Engineering Hall Additions.

Headcount enrollment growth has stabilized at approximately 9,000 HC and is projected to remain at this level. The previous projection was 10,000 HC.

The priority order of projects in Plan A and Plan B is very strategic and constant toward a primary goal. The qualitative and quantitative space issues of Ottensman Hall (Functional Grade “F” and Physical Grade “iv-poor”) have the greatest negative impact on the university’s programming and pedagogy than any other facility. The development of the Sesquicentennial Hall project is the first step in correcting the negative impact of Ottensman Hall.

100 CLASSROOM FACILITIES

There is persistent university-wide quality issue with classrooms. As of Fall 2016, none of the University’s inventory of 95 general assignment classrooms are off-line. Looking ahead, the university wishes to take 4 inferior general assignment classrooms located in the Karrmann Library basement off-line as soon as possible. These four classrooms have poor HVAC, frequent high humidity levels, and have experienced storm water flooding in recent years. These four rooms are each 30-capacity. The university would like to replace them elsewhere on campus with 40 capacity classrooms.

More than half of the entire general assignment classroom inventory, 41 of 95 classrooms (43%) are categorized as level “B” classrooms (undesirable due to unusual room shape, room width-to-length ratio, poor HVAC, low ceiling heights). This is detailed in the UW System-format General Assignment Classroom Assessment and Instructional Technology Survey (GACAITS) spreadsheet, that is maintained by the university, last updated in May 2016. The university has made great strides in recent years in increasing the overall classroom technology levels across the inventory. Of the general assignment classroom inventory:

79 (83%) are Technology Level 3, 3+ or Distance Learning classrooms, 5 (5%) are Technology Level 2 classrooms, 14 (14%) are Technology Level 1 classrooms

Classroom Demand Analysis (CDA)-based projections include the proposed Boebel Hall Phase 2 Renovation, changes to Classroom 103 in Doudna Hall (Classroom 103 will be remodeled and transitions from 182-capacity to 162-capacity by Fall 2017), the desire to decommission 4 basement-level classrooms in Karrmann Library, the planned development of an active learning classroom in Karrmann Room 309, and headcount student enrollment growth being stable at 9,200 HC students. The results of this projection identifies the mix of needs and surpluses across room capacity size ranges. When we take the “Adjusted Balance” from the projection, and shift the areas of deficit up to the next large room size as areas of surplus will allow, the net overall need could be satisfied by developing 9 classrooms in the 55-capacity range, 1 classroom in the 110-capacity range, and 1 classroom in the 150-capacity range. This equates to approximately 18,000 ASF of classroom deficiency, based on the 35 periods/week standard classroom utilization goal. In spring 2014 the university brought one newly developed 142-capacity high tech classroom online to help correct this shortage. The table below shows the Fall 2015 CDA-based projections.

200 LABORATORY FACILITIES

In Fall 2015 the university had 137 class laboratories and 45 open laboratories. These laboratories support the 41 undergraduate majors and 77 minors across the university. This may seem like a relatively high number of laboratories, however UW-Platteville requires a high number of laboratories due the university’s laboratory-intensive pedagogy and the high number of majors and minors in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Laboratory space needs are both qualitative and quantitative due to recent student enrollment growth and the increased programmatic demands placed on laboratories, coupled with advancing pedagogy. The university adaptively uses the UW System General Assignment Classroom Assessment and Instructional Technology Survey (GACAITS) spreadsheet format to document and evaluate laboratory space. It was last updated in May 2016. Of the 137 class laboratories and 45 open laboratories, the survey shows that 43 of the spaces are inferior based on one or more of the following criteria: low floor to ceiling heights, crowded and undersized rooms, dysfunctional room layouts, inferior aspect ratios and poor sightlines, lack of vent hoods/ventilation/air exchange/humidity control, and lack of information technology.

The quality of the many laboratory facilities is poor due inferior space with several of the existing laboratories being functionally obsolete. As an example of laboratory quality issues, many of the high-use laboratories in Ottensman Hall engineering building and Boebel Hall science building exist exactly as they did in 1967 and 1977 when the when the respective buildings were constructed, and do not fully support modern teaching and learning needs.

300 OFFICE FACILITIES

Office spaces are primarily distributed across nine academic buildings and plus four 1950s’ era repurposed residence halls. The majority of the office spaces in the nine academic buildings are modern, efficient and well suited to support the University’s academic mission, however there is limited flexibility to add new offices in the existing buildings. The office spaces that fill four former 1950s vintage residence halls at the core of campus (Brigham, Gardner, Royce, and Warner Halls) exist primarily as relic dormitory rooms. The private single offices in these buildings are typically 165 SF, in contrast to modern standards of 120 SF per office. Gardner, Royce, and Warner Halls have never received any remodeling, floor plan layout changes or notable infrastructure upgrades, they do not have air-conditioning or ventilation other than operable windows. Brigham Hall had a minor renovation in the 1980s which added air conditioning to the majority of the building.

Continuing Education growth, Academic Affairs growth, and growth in the academic program majors of Business Administration and Accounting, and Criminal Justice Program. Due to student enrollment growth, a total of 40 additional faculty offices plus office support space are currently needed just to offset current demand. This equates to approximately 12,000 GSF of additional Office Facilities Space needs.

400 STUDY FACILITIES

Study facilities include study rooms, stacks, open-stack reading rooms, and library processing spaces. There are study facilities located across campus, most predominantly in Karrmann Library (1969 Const. 105,540 GSF), and in limited space in academic buildings and residence halls. Due to increases in student enrollment, additional space may be needed in Karrmann Library. Portions of Karrmann Library are outdated and have not kept pace with the majority of modern library functions.

500 SPECIAL USE FACILITIES

Special use facilities include assembly rooms, exhibition halls, athletic and physical education spaces, media production rooms, clinics, demonstration areas, field buildings, animal housing, and greenhouses. Special use facilities on the campus include Williams Fieldhouse, the Williams Fieldhouse Additions, and the Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium. The 430-acre Pioneer Farm is located 5 miles east of the main campus and has several special use facilities that support dairy, beef, swine operations as well as crop production.

The campus has outgrown existing locker room capacity at Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium. The stadium functionality is compromised by poor condition and shortage of locker room space. The locker room capacity is too small for to serve both home and visiting teams for colligate football. Due to the recent installation of artificial turf, and grass wear-and-tear no longer a constraint, the stadium usage has increased with men’s and women’s soccer, club sports, and intramurals now being able to use the stadium. The existing locker rooms cannot and do not support men’s and women’s soccer teams because the locker rooms are full of football equipment. Additional locker room space of approximately 4,550 GSF is needed to adequately support men’s and women’s athletics at Pioneer Stadium.

The Pioneer Farm Beef Center was constructed in 1969, with a Beef Holding Addition constructed in 1981. The University needs to expand beef herd size based on academic programming and undergraduate research requirements. The University’s beef program currently has a 25 head herd-size average, and programmatically needs to expand to a 75 head herd-size. The existing beef facilities are too small and inflexible to support the necessary herd expansion. The proposed new Beef Center is estimated at 25,000 GSF.

600 GENERAL USE FACILITIES

General Use Facilities include assembly rooms, exhibition space, food facilities, lounges, merchandising facilities, recreational facilities, meeting rooms, and childcare rooms.

The need for food facilities space was partially addressed with the opening of a new food service commons facility in Fall 2013. This facility is part of the UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation’s Bridgeway Commons project, which is leased by the university. The lower level of the new 430-bed residence hall includes a large scale production kitchen, bakery, servery and dining facility. By design, the Bridgeway Commons food facility has enough capacity to functionally replace the University’s historic food service facility, Glenview Commons (constructed in 1967). The food service operation located in Markee Pioneer Student Center (opened in 2002) is currently at maximum operational capacity.

Space Needs Summary

7/22/2016 IF - 10

The most pressing General Use Facilities topic is the shortage of recreation space. To correct this shortage, in April 2013 the student body supported a referendum to fund the construction of four indoor multi-purpose recreation courts plus additional cardiovascular and weight training space (total 49,600 GSF), replacement of the existing Williams Fieldhouse swimming pool plumbing and filtration system, and the construction of an outdoor illuminated, artificial turf athletics and recreation field (64,800 GSF).

700 SUPPORT FACILITIES

Support Facilities are categorized as computing facilities, shops, central storage areas, vehicle storage areas and central service space that provides centralized support for the activities of the University.

The University’s central stores, shops, central storage area and fleet vehicle storage area is the Geise Facilities Management Building (1969 Const. 35,565 GSF). This complex primarily supports all of the University’s buildings and grounds. There is limited shop and storage space in the basement of Royce Hall (1957 Const.) that supports the general maintenance needs of the University’s Auxiliary Services space. The Royce Hall basement space is not appropriate to house general maintenance operations due to poor egress, low floor-to-ceiling heights, and poor ventilation. The Auxiliary Services maintenance operation elements that were in the basement of Royce will be relocated to the Geise Facilities Management Building. Currently the Geise Building is overcrowded, and lacks enough space to support University’s Facilities Management operational needs. The building’s HVAC system is approaching the end of its functional life. The building’s electrical system is outdated and under-capacity. Exterior windows are not insulated and are failing. As of July 2016, DFD #15C2O PLT Geise Central Stores/Maintenance Remodel was in design phase. #15C2O provides a very limited remodel of a portion of the building.

800 HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

Health Care Facilities are used to provide patient care (human and animal). The campus does have a student health care area, Student Health Services, located in Royce Hall. Student Health Services provides acute care for illnesses, health and wellness promotion, and activities for students to actively participate in their own health care. The health care area is adequately sized to meet student needs. The campus does not have any space categorized as animal care facilities.

900 RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES

Residential Facilities are categorized as housing facilities for students, faculty, staff, and visitors on campus. The university currently has ten residence halls with a combined capacity of 2,732 beds. Not included in this total are two UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation projects: The UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation owned and operated 620-bed Rountree Commons, and the UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation owned, university-leased 430-bed Bridgeway Commons, which opened in August 2012, and August 2013 respectively.

Of the campus’s ten residence halls, nine were constructed in the 1961-1969 era (conventional double-occupancy halls with gang toilet rooms and showers), and one was constructed in 2006 (a modern suite style hall, with each suite having four single, private bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, each with a shower, a shared kitchen/dining counter, and shared living room area). Although the campus does not have a quantity deficit in the residential facilities category at this time, there is a critical quality issue. Of the campus’s nine 1961-1969 era residence halls, only three: Porter Hall, Dobson Hall and Melcher Hall have ever received any significant renovation. Porter Hall received a significant renovation in 2012 (fire sprinkler system. new heating and ventilation system, electrical systems, emergency generator, architectural finishes, doors, windows). Dobson Hall was renovated in 2015, and Melcher in 2016.

Space Needs Summary

7/22/2016 IF - 11

The remaining six older residence halls are primarily original to the time of construction, and have little heating control, inadequate ventilation, and worn out architectural finishes and doors. The outdated condition of these buildings and lack of adequate heating control and ventilation has driven occupant satisfaction to low levels in recent years. The University anticipates that Morrow Hall may be renovated in 2019-21.
