| Physical space - more meeting space on campus; suggested sizes: 275-276 SUB, Hall of Fame in Fieldhouse, 271 SUB. Some centralized, some not. |
| Athletics - possible more stands built for around the outdoor track. |
| Carefully infill campus. Maintain open space, low profile buildings and create clusters that don't block vistas. |
| Administration does a great job noting achievements of students but utilizes their varied talents and abilities very little in practical, hands on ways - a huge dynamic resource being passed by. |
| Online learning will never be the wonderful experience that interacting with people can be. Focus on the traditional styles (but give teachers freedom to make use of the internet - don't restrict them). |
| Promote more use of campus in summers. Improve the aesthetics of the campus in the winter. |
| Bring back the College national Finals Rodeo (big $$) |
| The presence of Native American students/tribes should be visible on campus - art, structures, etc. Everyone should see that this demographic is valued at MSU. |
| Keep departments in one building. |
| MSU-Bozeman campus should grow towards the west - not crowd what we have currently. |
| Serving the needs of students should be the central focus of all planning. Students must take a priority, since they are the reason for the institution. |
| How about a MT American Indian theme, e.g. big buildings dedicated to each reservation in Montana: Blackfeet design, Crow, Sioux, etc.? |
| Serve students better by having central location of admissions/registrar/student accounts/financial aid, and…?? |
| Remember that learning is life-long - design facilities to accommodate all ages. |
| Ensure that each department (of each college) can have faculty, grad students, offices, classrooms, and lab facilities all in one building. The department in which I work is in 3 buildings on 2-3 different floors in each building. |
| Graduate teaching assistants need adequate space for their own studies and meeting with their students. |
| Try to get staff/offices/departments out of basements with no or minimal true daylight. |
| Do not expand outward too much, it is difficult to get between classes far away within the ten minutes allowed between classes. |
| For My Kids: Campus pride (not necessarily sports related).. |
| For My Kids: Enjoyable atmosphere to visit. |
| As a Campus, we need to create a sense of pride in who we are. This Campus needs a place that you are proud to come back to as an alumni. Take interest in the people who have graduated and potentially have money to donate. Get the alumni more involved and keep them proud to be a Bobcat! |
| Build a student services center. |
| I like how Campus just blends into the neighborhood to the east and northeast. I don't think that gates would be fitting. They'd be more like barriers. |
| Gathering spaces developed. Steps and walls for sitting. Table & chairs in more secluded spaces. |
| Negative on "districts" on campus - territorial. |
| Positive on "districts" on campus gives a sense of "home". An affinity to a location. |
| With "Districting" there will still be a need for central areas (SUB) students and faculty will still need these centralized areas to visit and function in. |
| Centralized areas need to maintain "centrality" - avoid letting these areas gravitate to the virtual edges of campus. |
| How would we integrate districts and find the balance so we take advantage of the good points of all. |
| Staff are very crowded. "Breathing each other's air" - not good for morale. |
| Focus campus "core" on student-centered facilities. |
| We need a student services center. An attractive area for new students to first come to campus and get all their classes and fees taken care of. |
| Focus on student, faculty/staff health; we need clean, appealing gyms with modern equipment. |
| Keep SUB - center informal living room of campus. |
| How about an "International Place" - a space that brings the global dimension tangibly to the campus for students. (The best I have seen is the Global Lounge at Yonsei Univ in Seoul, Korea, with TVs showing international broadcasts…) |
| What can we do to draw people to stay on campus so it becomes a living/learning environment? |
| The campus "dies" after 5pm. How can we increase the vitality after hours to make it a community? |
| Don't put total emphasis and money on faculty. Support staff and administrative departments are also main asset of MSU. We deserve attention and decent facilities. |
| Utilize more of the expertise on campus for our own projects - architecture students. Horticulture staff - eliminate weeds. |
| Facilitate, design quiet places on campus. Places to reflect and enjoy Montana. |
| We need a bar on Campus. Heating Plants future as a micro-brewery. |
| The Barn should be a sacred icon. The smokestack was the loss of an icon, lets not lose anymore. |
| AG needs to be made a part of the campus still if moved across Nineteenth. |
| What if your projections are wrong for 2030? i.e. Bozeman is greater than 100,000 population. MSU needs to be 25,000 students? |
| Ag needs sufficient classroom space. |
| Need far more classroom space. Classrooms need to be modern. |
| Revival of the AG district will give the students a sense of place but might encourage isolation from Central Campus. |
| Reclaim some of the small gathering places for students and faculty to meet. |
| MSU should offer classes and programs for non-traditional students. It would help working people and create a source of revenue for the university. |
| Continue to grow to the west connecting to industrial technology park. |
| MSU should sponsor a daycare on or close to campus for all employees. |
| Adequate space needed for students to hang out - study or not - so as to encourage the sense of community among students and faculty/staff. |
| Common space to meet with students etc. outside of classrooms. |
| Need flexible classrooms for changing size and need. |
| Need some unique food services. Where do you as a faculty member take someone to lunch? |
| Keep western - cowboy/native American heritage on campus. |
| Get the Rodeo (CNFR) back - may be wishful thinking. |
| Try to build a sense of community on campus. I had a great experience with residence hall life, interaction with faculty that lasted 20+ years. |
| Need more public places and places to hang out. Develop the Duck Pond Space. |
| Transit systems need to be developed as well as on-campus shuttles. |
| Have services close to campus. Can campus make space at the edge available for retail/services. |
| Things I don't like: How far Hedges and other dorms are from campus, track outdoors is hidden behind football, library is far from dorms, especially when it snows, hard to find classes - need more direction. |
| Address the issue of more students going part-time. Approximately 1000 students now go to MSU part-time. |
