| The open space from south of the Gatton Lot to south of the Stadium. |
| Do not complete the New Building cluster (by adding a third building on the north side of the oval) as it would destroy the views from the current buildings. |
| Unscheduled green space; number of clubs have increased. |
| Need open space on campus for unscheduled use. For students, clubs, pick-up games, ultimate Frisbee, etc. |
| Too much emphasis on open space. |
| Maintain the remaining open space on the north side of campus. |
| Need more open space. We have lost much of our open space due to construction. Place for club and informal activities on the grass. |
| There is a finite amount of "open space". Structures can be made very attractive, but how do you build without encroaching on physical space? Has the potential for remote or satellite "campuses" in the Tech Park? |
| Maintain open ag lands west of 19th. Create a running/walking trail system out there so we can all enjoy it. |
| More open space. How can you build without encroaching on open spaces. |
| Need spaces for people to gather for informal Frisbee/baseball etc. games. |
| More outside areas for sitting and congregating. Wilson Hall center area lost seating and is a lovely small space inside a horrible building. |
| We need to stop cycle of paving green space and then ripping up parking lots to place buildings which then requires paving more green space. |
| No Frisbee space - that's what city parks are for. |
| Open space and site-lines must be maintained. We are a Big Sky campus and need to do all we can to maintain that feel. |
| Open areas for people to have fun - non-scheduled. |
| Maintain all available open space and large trees/landscaping. An "open" campus embodies Bozeman and MSU. People need to walk/move, so a sprawling campus contributes to good health. |
| Preserve as much open space as possible - green space, views, current historical architecture, TREES. If MT Hall is emblematic of MSU, don't crowd it out of the focus point with more buildings. |
| At the beginning of the school year this year, I had a chance to hang out at the UM campus. There I saw tons of students relaxing in their center courtyard. There should be a way to get students to hang out more on campus. |
| More recreational space. The Rec center is not enough. |
| Maintain open air campus - avoid enclosed "gerbil tubes"/tunnels (connect with the outdoors) |
| Campus could use some more benches in the park areas to eat lunch and gather. |
| Open plazas with food and drink available, covered plazas for shade in the summer. Table and chairs can be moved out for winter maintenance. |
| Keep the current green spaces - Hannon Lawn, Romney Oval. |
| Put Frisbee fields at dorms and student housing. |
| Open space on campus is NOT a priority. |
| Open space is a huge draw of students to campus…keep it that way (west of 19th and central campus). |
| Quit selling off MSU land. |
| Keep the open space, even at the loss of development. |
| Preserve green space. |
| Preserve and provide centrally located open areas for student outdoor activities such as the space that currently exists in front of Langford and Culbertson Mullen Halls. |
| Reserving space for Frisbee is not an academic function. |
| Keep our unique view sheds intact. |
| Preserve open space for contemplation. |
| Keep it green! |
| Preserve the mountain views as much as possible. |
| Maintain green space and areas for students/staff to visit/hang out. |
| Allow informal paths used by students. |
| We need barriers to prevent "cow trails" as shortcuts across lawns. |
| You have a nice sitting area/courtyard near Herrick and Wilson - SE of there. It is dilapidated and falling apart. You could fix up those benches and create a nice seating area there again. |
| Planned no-build zones dedicated to construction staging areas instead of ruining a new green space each time a project demands the space. |
| Use one area of campus as a "project staging area". Keep it there. |
| Keep a sense of our rural roots. The ag farm needs to be made something other than a stepchild. |
| Harrison St. residents highly value our view of the Tobacco Roots and sunset to the west - please do not obstruct this. |
| We are a land grant college. Our farm and farmlands should be a showcase! |
| Improve area between Gaines and the SUB. Add picnic tables and benches. |
| The MSU Campus is not the most "lounging" friendly campus. It would be great if more benches, lawns and quads were created. |
| Martha's Courtyard by the AG Bioscience building is very cozy - make more of that kind of area. |
| I wouldn't build on the lawn between Montana Hall and Hamilton. It would be too hard to service (no service vehicle access). |
| Avoid developing too many hard-surface plazas. It doesn't fit with the character of campus. |
| At what point does the land across Nineteenth hinder the growth of Bozeman and urban expansion. I think we need to look into perhaps some condo-type student dorms. More on-campus living a little further from campus. |
| Cattle paths through grass areas are unsightly. Perhaps raised grass areas behind retaining walls would promote students walking around, rather than through. For example, the section in front of Montana Hall. |
| Don't eliminate any more of our open space. |
| Preserve all of the existing Lewis & Clark Fields (everything between Harrison and the next transverse sidewalk extending from Cleveland Street). It is a heavily used recreational space. |
| Raised green spaces. |
| Can we put picnic tables in the green space near the flagpole? |
| Considering that most of this "Agriculture Based" University is green space, we need to enhance the aesthetics of what we know best - the land. We need more plants, especially since the oldest trees on campus were recently cut down. We need to incorporate our open space into interactive open space, gardens with sculpture all stemming from and created by students. |
| The views from campus single handedly and instantaneously made Montana State my choice for college. BOTTOM LINE, open space and mountain views not only draw students, but also draw the type of students which give the school community the type of character which defines MSU-Bozeman and Montana. |
| A lot of students come to MSU for the outdoors and the green spaces on Campus. We need to create more green spaces on this Campus….sell your natural resources to the potential students. |
| Keep the green spaces as best as possible. Keep the views of the mountains. |
| More picnic tables and benches located in the open spaces. |
| More picnic tables and benches. Study areas outside. |
| More tables and chairs/benches in the wide open spaces. Especially the space with the big American Flag pole. |
| Open Space: If it's used, keep it!! |
| Maintain the green spaces. I work with students everyday - they come here because it is beautiful and the residence hall students need spaces for activities. |
| The remaining open spaces need to remain as such. It is a critical cultural element to both the Campus and the Community. |
| Develop the fields across Nineteenth. Spreading out is not a problem if you put on entire College over there. |
| Keep green spaces by the residence halls for games and hanging out. |
| General Plan: Keep Lewis & Clark Fields intact. |
| General Plan: Keep Parade grounds by Romney Gym intact. |
| General Plan: Use empty space by Brick Breeden Fieldhouse for classroom/laboratory building expansion. |
| General Plan: Keep park areas by Eleventh & College intact. |
| General Plan: Use empty areas in the Family & Graduate Housing area, mainly for parking. |
| Romney Oval/Cobleigh Courtyard - outdoor spaces for classes and meetings (lawns are usually too wet and areas too noisy) |
| Spaces for kids to play not just formalized scheduled activities. |
| Ugly space on west side of Montana Hall - plain cement, ugly fire escape, and dangerous icicles. |
| More student leisure/study space. |
| Move athletic fields further out. |
| Keep long-range views of mountains, etc. |
| Make a plan to develop land west of 19th to support research and tech transfer - and to establish another long term revenue stream. |
| Define open/green spaces and enhance them. (Landscaping, foliage, etc.) And then respect the space. |
| One of the main attractants to new and existing employees is the "park-like" setting of the campus. Low salaries can somewhat be offset by a beautiful setting and not a downtown or strip mall atmosphere. |
| Open space - is essential to the success of the university. It affects people's attitudes and desire to be there. If you preserve it… they will come. |
| Maintain green spaces where people can gather throughout the day. |
| Don't generalize athletic and recreation fields together. Athletics and Rec serve a whole different purpose. Rec fields need to be close to students and dorms. Also, there is no more physical education. There are no more activity classes taught. |
| Keep green space - trees, grass, etc. |
| Do not build in the space between the Library and Reid. This could be a beautiful plaza, a continuation of the plaza south of Montana Hall, and connect into Romney oval. |
| I would like to see the open space remain. Old garden between Herrick and the Chapel needs more tending. I would prefer to see more concentrated buildings with open space around them. |
| Maintain open spaces, green spaces, and views. |
| Green space is bland. No interactive gardens. Need art, foliage & color. Art needs to "move" across Campus. |
| More open areas that are naturalized, with stone walks, picnic tables. |
| Maintain campus vistas. |
| AG wants a core of buildings with some open space around it. It should stay close to the University Campus. |
| Preserve open space. |
| I thought MSU valued open space and the "green lane" of agriculture? The removal of the trees for the new Chemistry Building was ridiculous. Keep the trees, open space and quit selling the land. |
| Remove fences. |
| Make the land more esthetic-better open space. |
| Open area up. Remove fences repair deteriorated areas and improve visual appeal. |
| Don't eliminate the pasturelands because it would remove the livestock. Research facilities need animals right near by. |
| Towne Farm-West of Nineteenth- This land serves (and there is a need to continue to serve) vital agricultural needs. It is NOT simply available open space. |
| Lets not view it as "open" land, but rather as an opportunity to integrate with the community. Teaching opportunities within the community. |
| Incorporate a running/walking trail that draws the east and west sides of Campus together. |
| Need an integrated trail system. |
| West side of campus at 11th avenue needs work. No great spaces there. It's simply a place to go for living spaces. |
| Open space is great and "makes" MSU, however for someone with a disability/handicap the open space and distance between buildings feels like miles. Buildings should be kept compacted and localized. |
| Reserve green space and trees. Encourage biking to work - more bike racks. |
| Must maintain green spaces and trees! Love the duck pond! |
| Move Biochem building to the west to allow for green space in front of MT Hall, ala Cass Gilbert. |
| Consider more passive open spaces. It appears public art is considered an asset according to photographs. |
| Open space - very important both aesthetically and for athletics. This is a walking campus. People can walk the trees! There were 30+ trees cut down for the chemistry building. In our climate they do not regenerate very fast. |
| Maintaining open field play space. Keeping open fields for student play close to dorms, evening "pick-up" play. |
| Make sure open space is adjacent to dorms for students to recreate at times when they have breaks. The new chemistry building has stopped the activity of students in those fields. |
| What about section of land on north side of main street toward Four Corners? Now it is Ag experiment. Best future use? |
| More places for faculty to congregate and meet with students both indoors and outdoors. |
| Utilize Ag lands for more than Ag issues. Used towards advancement of university mission. |
| Ag lands off of 19th on west, MSU on East as well. Good location for a formal entrance. |
| Retain open feel of Campus - emphasize views. |
| The open space (Romney Oval) is wonderful. Keep it as a Student Commons. |
| Open space in from of Romney Gym is great, but shabby. UM oval in Missoula is an example of a better looking area. |
| Green space is important. Proximity to student living situations is important, as well as the quality of the space rather than quantity. |
| If we have so much MSU land west of campus, why not move the athletics practice field across 19th St. and build parking/buildings south of the pay lot. |
| If campus is expanded into the outer lying lands some effort must be made to include them into community. |
| We need to make/reserve more green space for lounging, as centers for communities on campus. Ex: benches, trees, flowers, BIRDHOUSES! MURALS! |
| Complaints - Empty field by Montana Hall and Wilson Hall needs to be landscaped or it needs a structure. Dirt-worn spots by Gaines Hall need to be addressed. Either shrubbery or land surface should be added. Re-open the sidewalk by Byron Johnson II. |
| Green space - preserve green space on campus (lawn areas) by building retaining walls to prevent pedestrian traffic and bike traffic. Hopefully, this can prevent "cattle tracks." |
| Keep the open space. |
| Develop a Main Street (commercial) atmosphere with shops in the fields towards the police station and Fieldhouse. This is a good place for future campus building expansion (i.e. residence halls, academic buildings). It is close to the center of campus, and will have more opportunity to allow space between buildings and connect the stadium to campus. |
| Well-planned and utilized "open space" rather than simply a large grass lawn with "cattle tracks." |
| Don't build on green areas!! Rather build on parking lots, increase the cost of parking passes and improve public transportation in Bozeman in order to force people to walk or use public transportation offered. |
| Try to keep grassy and tree areas. Build on parking lots instead. |
| Steer back towards the outdoor culture of MSU "Mountains & Minds." This is a great recruiting asset. It brings in over half of out-of-state undergrads. Bring back outdoor programs (MSU expeditions). |
| Open and rec. space ala Lewis and Clark field is what makes the campus attractive to prospective frosh. SAVE the SPACE!! |
| Protect football practice fields. Move expansion southeast through OFS and old faculty housing. |
| Public space is lacking near Cheever Hall. Make a path/mall area to link some of the more disjointed areas of Campus. |
| Condense campus and don't worry about green space. Any 2-block direction gets in view of the scapes. |
