| Smoker's outposts detract from campus appearance. |
| We need more public art - perhaps a program similar to 1% For the Arts, which is used for Federal building and could be applied to campus. |
| Think of a campus pub as a revenue option. |
| Minimize use of temporary storage structures. |
| Forget rules which are not followed or enforced. Bikes will always be on campus, provide racks on the main mall. |
| Giving the increasing value of land in the Gallatin Valley, NO land currently owned by the University should be sold, especially not to developers. Sales to other government agencies should only be done rarely , if ever. |
| Need a sustainable, responsible balance between research and academic campus space and funding. |
| An equal distribution of funds across all colleges, so that all students benefit , not a select few. |
| This university, through its staff and students has a wealth of knowledge at its disposal. It is proposed that we utilize this knowledge better in the future. Instead of contracting architects and graphic designers and engineers, lets start to use our own. |
| Construction: Try to wait for good construction times, group smaller projects together and attract national builders. |
| Allow local businesses to provide food on Campus instead of having all food services operated internally. |
| For My Kids: Affordable tuition. |
| Less bureaucracy regarding on-campus restaurants/food and stores. |
| Students should be allowed to bring food from off campus onto any part/building on campus and not be punished or fined. |
| Make the entire Campus non-smoking indoors and outdoors. Smoke comes in through doorways and gets trapped under the trees in the Wilson Courtyard. It makes you want to get off Campus as soon as possible. |
| Sell prime commercial land and lower tuition. |
| See ART GET Money!! |
| Use academic resources to improve Campus. Architecture School can design new buildings, Art Students can make art for buildings. Keep projects cheaper, by using student population instead of paying a lot externally. If necessary, have firms work WITH classes to get work done. |
| Our campus needs a Pub/Sports Bar and Grill!!! This would be a way to make campus an area to congregate during non-school hours. A Pub is NOT a drunk tank but more of a social gathering. Remember that most of us are adults and can act responsibly. i.e. In England you go to the Pub not the SUB |
| We need more food on Campus that is NOT ASMSU or Catspaw Grill….Pita Pit. |
| Water rights/Access. Secure our water future now. |
| Hesitant to really see what kind of impact students will have on this process because the logo was not something the students had a great deal of say on and does not represent the Student or the School. |
| Make sure the students are involved. Make sure you don't forget who we are and why we love MSU. Don't try to change MSU into what some other college is. I worry about this because our new logo seems generic and mostly chosen without student input. |
| Don't let over-budgeting stop plans, re-budget, don't restructure plans. Cheap building only creates more frequent re-construction. |
| "Shared Vision" : Is it SHARED or is it the Administrations thoughts and idea?? |
| How can we effectively plan into the future when today's issues are not addressed or addressed only by those in power. i.e. Chemistry/Engineering etc. |
| Land: Keep ALL land that is currently owned. |
| Avoid moving Campus west as long as possible |
| There is a city ordinance requiring bicycles to be operated on streets and obey traffic laws. Why are they on campus sidewalks? |
| Utilize the resources that you have. Get the students of various Colleges involved in design, art, gardens and even construction on Campus. |
| The University is mandated to take bids publicly and to use the lowest qualified bid. New buildings seem to be notorious for "cut corners". This process seems flawed. |
| How will development pressure influence the disposition of Agricultural land - on main Campus and along Huffine? |
| AG Development - All development for Agriculture on Campus should be the AG Department's ideas and plans, not the whole University should have input. |
| Allow and keep agriculture as MSU's main goal. Development should be only for the future of Montana's heritage and Noumber One industry - Agriculture. |
| Who owns what property on the MSU Campus? |
| Maintain the AG heritage of the School. Don't hear negatives from the people (community) only the higher Administration. |
| Let MSU continue to be a Land Grant University. Where is the value and importance of this today? Where is the support of the Agriculture Open Space. |
| 12,000 Students is fine. More students-less time for professors to be with each individual student. |
| MSU needs to quit selling MSU Agriculture land! |
| Land Grant - Focus - Impacts on facilities, ownership, funding , direction. |
| AG Complex - needs greater backing. What property belongs to the AG Department on Campus? Needs to be defined. |
| Can College of Agriculture/Experiment Station do anything pro-active to guide the future? i.e. appropriate land trades to gain usable facilities/labs etc. |
| Money needs to be spent more for research and for the student's benefit. So program budgets should not be cut. |
| Important Mission (College of AG) Is to provide the opportunity for students and community to be informed of the AG Production /Research/Direction. |
| Why is Agriculture repeatedly sold-out by the Administration? Agriculture has lost land (by the Chronicle) Swine Building, etc. Roads and land selling seem to be more profitable and important to MSU |
| Continue surplusing items. Clean up appearance. |
| Continue sharing resources with department (labor, machinery, etc.) |
| Preserve land for AG teaching/research within one mile of campus. i.e. Towne Farm |
| Need to maintain pastureland and livestock facilities for research programs. |
| Save and maintain the agriculture on campus. Agriculture is our future. Don't lose the buildings and history of agriculture on campus |
| AG Experiment Stations owns property across Nineteenth. Agriculture statewide will not want other uses to take the land. |
| Will the University put any money into the new buildings at a new AG Complex? |
| Need to have a public record as to who owns what pieces of campus. The AG lands ownership needs to be determined. Land Grant/Experiment Station ownership. |
| Legislature has put limits on the ability to sell any of the lands across Nineteenth. |
| Keep the lands west of Nineteenth as AG lands. |
| Need more small commercial around campus with pedestrian-friendly access. |
| More commercial/retail service needed around and near and on campus. Like College St. area but more of it. |
| Strategic land acquisition plan to purchase land if/when available. |
| Keep student population at 13,000 - add quality. |
| Need to work with state government to eliminate the "lowest bid" requirement for contract award. We work very hard to "design" requirements for buildings, then scrap them to accommodate "cost constraint." We need to be smart about design and build. |
| Land acquisition at edges of campus should be part of the plan. 20 acre farm with barn. |
| CFNR - get it back. |
| Bring back the rodeo. |
| Use campus assets: artists, architects, transportation planners, etc. |
| Does or will MSU consider a development role - such as buying nearby structures? |
| Policy change for parking problems - don't let freshmen have cars on campus since they have to live on campus anyway. |
| Who are the study group to suggest how will MSU do? How do they decide? During the gym renovation, MSU is expected to keep the existing two indoor upstairs tennis courts, am I right? Whoever play tennis in Bozeman know that our community is short of indoor tennis courts badly. MSU need keep the two indoor tennis courts or even build more. |
| Can we acquire adjacent lands |
| Sell the ag lands to acquire other property. |
| Registrar can't assign a space that is already "booked" but often these rooms are in fact sitting empty. Classrooms are often juggled weekly due to this. |
| We should develop a property acquisition zone and purchase first right of refusal on houses along 6th, 3rd and 8th. |
| Design guidelines should establish and reinforce context-not be overly prescriptive. |
| Look at the untapped architectural and planning talent within the School of Architecture. Use the student body, engage them and showcase the growing talent that's caged in Cheever Hall. |
| Ask the students what they want. |
| Use art funds from building (funds for the noodle and other sculptures) to benefit student population. Decorative clocks on campus to tell students how to get to class or enclosed work places. Annexes are great! |
| Need a set of guidelines and principles which will make the Campus feel connected. |
| Use some of the Construction Classes to one-by-one raze and rebuild some of the old married student houses. |
