I think we need classrooms - it's nice to have research space but it doesn't need to be smack dab in the middle of campus.  We are selling the students short!  The periphery is a better place for research - scheduling classes is a nightmare to put it mild

Need to find a location for a new Student Health Center Building.  The current facility is outdated and inefficient.

Don't lose the old for the new.

Vision - recruitment and retention of students.  This is a regent's goal.  Build your buildings to be impressive.  We need to have a showplace to attract students and faculty.  Keep the "green" and campus planting programs alive and well.

Keep our beautiful buildings!  No ugly buildings!

Identify obsolete and buildings planned for destruction.

Football expansion to stadium.

Recreation complex - get the remodel finished!  Recruitment tool, visually attractive.  It's what the students want!  It keeps us fit.

Bobcat Plaza?  When will it happen?

Replace aged and out of date building - especially campus housing.

Efficient use of space is poor - MT Hall example.  New administration building needed.

Areas for sports teams that will never be restricted because of gatherings in the Fieldhouse.  Track complex/football practice fields.

Less new construction.  Save the students money.

Make function more important than beauty (like new chem. building seems extravagant)

Want to insure indigenous design of buildings.  They should be suited to our climate.  What is good for California or Arizona may not be suitable for our area.

Historical preservation important.

Open to contemporary architecture - arch/arts buildings should be state-of-the-art

Maintain sense of history - keep and restore MT Hall, Herrick Hall, Linfield, Lewis, Roberts, Taylor, Romney

Make architecture timeless.  Think UC Boulder, for example.

Don't just do "makeshift" solutions to problems.  (Such as the dorky little roofs over entrances to Traphagen to catch snow and ice off the roof.)  Implement quality solutions that look appealing.

Maintain integrity of existing buildings (build new rather than add on insensitive appendages)

Preserve historic architectural features and details.

Current buildings are too different, we need a common theme/style.

Maintain old architecture.

Pay attention to small details (appealing window treatments, restrooms in the right locations).

No flat roofs on buildings because of Montana winters.

No prison-looking brick buildings.

Need new admin building.

Plan for research space and product development.

Keep old brick buildings and renovate.

No vertical expansion at the expense of larger environments.

Devote resources to maintain historical integrity of buildings - regular repairs and maintenance not done leaves shabby looking buildings.

Wright was right, emulation not imitation.  No gobly-gook, use as few materials as possible, give some sense of unity; build for today, not some silly idealized past that has never existed and can never exist.  Too many cooks ruin the soup.

Please use models, so everything lines up with everything else, have a sense of order and unity; a sense of place, buildings so connected to site that they can't be imagined anywhere other than right where they are.  Squares belong with squares, circles belong with circles; have some clear flowing vision.

SC Johnson Wax - great inspiration, look at it.  Eaves of building, curtains are proof of poor design, lack of research concerning light, sun, etc.  Think of sound, vision, all the senses - a place you actually want to be in.

A plan for the entire campus, not piecemeal, one vision for it all (i.e. Florida Southern College.

Consider the idea of clusters of buildings for the colleges.  Example: Ag buildings located together, Letters & Science buildings together.

Long live the Chemistry Building.

All student service offices should be housed in one building, i.e. Financial Aid in the same building with Student Accounts.  Something similar to Griz Central at MSU.

Architectural features on buildings are important.  So when budget cuts cause cuts in building projects, the distinctive features should not be cut.  We don't want to produce box shaped buildings because we can't afford anything else.

Academic activities should get space priority in the center of campus.  Put new classrooms in close, new programs and non-academic centers out of the main mall area.

Establish design guidelines to keep architecture all related and consistent.  Coherent and beautiful.

Additions to historic buildings must be in the same design as the building's original design.  Example is the addition on Linfield Hall.

In viewing the pictures, there seems to be a recurring architectural theme of arches and archways.  Is that a theme we want to incorporate in future buildings?  Example: Romney Gym, Roberts Hall, SUB Theatre entrance.

If you expand buildings and facilities - will have greater and greater impact on parking.  Who parks where, why?

Campus buildings and design should be more futuristic.

Condense on campus to avoid sprawl.

Cluster campus.

Taller buildings - more open space.  Wind problem - tree lines for wind breaking barriers.  New big sport center.

Need to make a distinction between pretty offices and classrooms and viable research space.  Research space is practical needs, not aesthetic.  Maybe divide main campus and fringe campus with 2 different plans and rules.

I think classrooms and labs should be central while "centers" and administrative offices should be around the perimeter of campus.

Open Wilson Hall's 2nd floor outdoor walkway to public use.

Do plan new buildings to allow for vertical expansion, save on space.

When the library is connected to Reid, leave a ground-level passage beneath with architectural detail similar to arched bridge.  Supports beauty and function.

More open classrooms needed.

Think snow and snow run-off when planning anything on campus.  Snow run-off creates ice at night.

Think about climate before building.  It snows here, things freeze, we have 4 seasons.

Montana Hall is a beautiful but unsafe and poorly functioning building.

Keep using brick.

Design facilities that encourage and promote cross-discipline teaching and learning.

Avoid stairs to buildings.  Access issues, weather hazards.

Rid multi-floor elevations that do not connect on level floor, i.e. Roberts Hall, Cobleigh.

Use North side space for: combo use building with city residents once those buildings are replaced.

Plan for enhanced, new and expanding IT capabilities on campus (including renovating old buildings IT structure).

MSU needs buildings that are technology friendly.

Maintain common theme (colors, materials etc) throughout campus to make it a cohesive design.

Pods for easy access for servicing and staging.  Disguised by landscaping/faux fronts.  Design maintenance into the ultimate design (Disneyland is a good example).

School of Architecture will be working on this project…Art & Architecture Building should be unique!!

Clusters:  All Ag Programs together and all athletics together, etc.…grouping by likes.  But draw back might be to hinder interaction across campus.

I'd like to see a larger and/or second library.  I'd also like a quieter study space outside the Sub or Library.

McCall Hall and the unused field behind it could be redeveloped into a multi-story building which could use the space more efficiently.

Design buildings for long term quality use.  They need to be adaptable for future uses and be aesthetically pleasing to match campus design for future generations.

Possible space for development into an academic building: the filed between the SUB Parking and H&PE Complex.

One easy way to get more classroom space would be to extend Traphagen Hall towards Gaines.  This would make Traphagen more symmetrical and wouldn't interfere with major green space.  Perhaps could link Traphagen with Gaines, like EPS/Cobleigh/Roberts.

Door in the rear of the Library please.

If more buildings are needed, they could be placed on existing parking lots.  Parking spaces could be increased by building tall parking garages.  They save valuable space.

Have planned areas where new buildings will go and don't plant trees there!  Thus, fewer trees will need to be cut down per project.  It is very difficult to re-grow trees here in Montana.

School of Architecture should be expanded to fit more students and give them more space.

Windows - Give a Classical paned look.

I have been troubled by the shrinking size of faculty offices in buildings built in recent years.  I don't know what other departments need, but Geology/Paleontology needs offices as large as those in Traphagen.

SUB area - Improve.  Not welcoming as it is - bad atmosphere.

If attendance picks up, a new stadium will need to be taken into consideration.  A stadium to be proud of.

Place where first year architects could study and work.  Romney's "dungeon" doesn't cut it.

When new buildings are designed, it would be fun to think more about architecture the old ones (buildings) look better.  A building is more than a box.

Develop a constant coherent academic core.

Make better use of lab space.  Lots of professors have big size labs they hardly use, while other employees are cramped up in smaller space.

Better first year Architecture Studio.

Gains Hall and the Chemistry labs…need I say more.

Avoid architecture that is too "cutting edge" if Architecture students want to do that, they can go else where.

I thoroughly enjoy studying in the Plant Science Building because of its windows and views.  I propose creating a study center with large work spaces and expansive views would promote more studying on campus.

New Health & Fitness Building i.e. Missoula is pretty nice, take a look.

The renovation of the Sub and H&PE Complex will be great, but no alternatives were made to accommodate the closures of the pool and other facilities.  Seems like construction is going to be a big problem if no alternatives are given.

I hear that the Football Program wants to build a huge state-of-the-art, full-size, indoor field/stadium.  A 400 meter track would be put around it.  This sounds great, but the track team would never use it - indoor tracks have to be less than 300 meters. Put a hydraulic lift in the existing fieldhouse.

Especially troubling is the trend of the new buildings.  Ag Science?  YAWN!!  It's not a terrible building, but who cares about it.  Worse yet is the Chemistry Building.  Lets see something inspiring (notice how all your PowerPoint pictures are of the BEST buildings; Romney, Montana, etc) Build more of these!

My biggest complaint is with the architecture.  There are several great buildings::  Roberts, Romney, Montana, Heating Plant-OH yes, the Heating Plant is better than most - the engineering building).  Cobleigh? Terrible as is : Wilson, Reid, Leon Johns, AJM Johnson, the PE Complex etc.

The remodeling of Renne Hall needs to happen.  Need to incorporate more easily navigable aisles and more social space.

Preserve the brick post-gothic architecture ala Traphagen and Montana Hall with modern feel ala Ag Science.

Given the geological hazards around Bozeman, all future buildings should be built to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 (again, Hebgen Lake 1959 was at least a 5.6)  Steel girder buildings (like Ag Bioscience) survive earthquakes better than steel-reinforced concrete.  No building on campus, no matter the size should be built from un-reinforced masonry.  If a small inexpensive building is needed, go stick, wood-frame construction that does better in earthquakes.

Could preserve historic façades - (see Vassar College and its new Performing Arts Building) - but it needs a new super structure.

General Plan:  Spend 3 to 5 years on intensive building/structure repairs.

General Plan:  Maintain building spaces at no less than 50 feet.

Artfully clustering buildings to maximize the use of space, leaving pods of green space.

Some buildings can be retrofit to meet changing needs and others can not.

Student Services Building - parents and students need to be able to access.

Need a new Administration Building - move to Hedges.  Approximately 34 offices per building with 2 conference rooms per floor plenty of restrooms.

New ITC Building - would put all ITC staff in one place better service, closer to center of campus.

New Classroom Building with higher use flexibility of use, yet still have connections to faculty offices.

Library:  Has outgrown space.  Addition would compromise open space.

New gym facilities are needed.

Need new Facilities Services-move to the edge to campus.

Future buildings should have pitched roofs - save on future roof repairs.

No more construction in the core campus area, i.e. the new Chemistry lab.

Montana Hall is too overcrowded.

Roberts/Cobleigh/EPS look like a hodgepodge of architectural styles.  Future buildings should somehow complement each other.

I appreciate campuses that incorporate the historical features of the campus into new buildings.

Areas like the main entrance to SUB are bewildering and a waste of space.  Bad images like this leave negative impressions.

Try to define common architectural themes or elements and continue to incorporate them into new buildings.

Love ivy and brick!  Feature the old buildings more by creating/keeping spaces that focus on them.

Administrative space.

Cluster building on campus.

Improve the western (bookstore) entrance area to the SUB.  There seems to be a lot of vehicles and it's not a good-feeling people place.  As a pedestrian, it feels like you're going to get hit by a car.

Build up - not out.

Building up will only block our wonderful views.  Build out!!

Our buildings look "disjointed".  Can we promote a common unifying look?

We need more meeting space for larger gatherings, luncheons, etc.  The SUB does not offer enough choice.

Leased buildings off campus need guidelines considering what operational services and utility/communications can efficiently be provided by MSU support departments.

I like the idea of clustering buildings and making better use of open space.  Right now we have big open spaces which are just "cow paths".

Begin planning to move physical plant to make way for expansion of academic campus.

Don't put offices in basements.  This is terrible for employees stuck in them and causes "rich & poor" benefits for staff.  Use basements for storage, equipment, or short term use.

Build a facility by main mall for community and evening classes.  Build large parking by this building with park and ride bus shuttle between this facility and main campus.

Classroom space is badly needed.  Don’t forget importance of comfortable learning areas.

Storage space or alternative.  Lack of storage space in general.  Current space requires people to injure themselves in order to access anything - document imaging in lieu of more storage - just requires more data storage.

Move administration to Hedges.  34 individual offices per floor; 2 conference rooms per floor (old showers); parking for students available on campus; parking for admin by Hedges (further out); no major remodel needed; 2 bathrooms (1 men/1 women) per floor.

Need larger lecture venues, etc.

Addition space for offices and research labs for faculty.

Ditch the gym concept!  It is not a requirement for education - luxury.

Better access to electrical outlets outside for outside events.

There is a real shortage of admin space.  Lack of electrical capacity where admin space currently located.  Central break rooms instead of each office having their own.

Put a building between MT Hall and Hamilton Hall for a student services center.  No one uses that space because grass is too wet - just a messy cow path - low, for nice views.

Classrooms - better size, diversity, technology, acoustics.

Student services building - for all student centered functions.

New admin building.

Build conference center/classroom space - good acoustics.

With increased student numbers, staff needs to increase.  A new, larger administration building is needed.  A new research administration building is also needed.

Move facilities further out.

Consolidate geographically student service related functions.

Appropriate workspace conditions are lacking.

Health Center/Rec Center remain in the center of campus.

ITC Building - staff, infrastructure, public service.

As student enrollment grows, we need a student services building which houses all student related services: admission, registrar, student accounts, financial aid, grad office, etc.

Create academic district, or mix it all up?  District - can create a community.

Build new facilities west of 19th.

Need to make "connected" community - buildings set the edge - open space enclosed.

Utilize space "off-campus" to help alleviate over-crowding - but be able to continue receiving campus services; mail delivery and cleaning.

Student admin space - combine student services in one building.  Really inconvenient and embarrassing what a student has to go through.

I like the idea of "cluster building" - avoiding the old model of spacing buildings out with space around each - to maximize open space around areas of density.

Why not grow the campus south to the soccer fields and move those fields out past 19th to the west.

Expand campus south or SE, not west.

Main entrances to buildings should never be on the North.  Snow removal is too difficult.

Classrooms need to be expanded.

Do the best you can on design & quality.  Something that will last.

Pigeons:  Annoying!!  Buildings look nice, but make for too many pigeon roosts.

Architecture is a slave to the fashion of the time.  Need continuity in Campus design. All Architectural designs do not all fit together.  Need a common theme - using same palettes, materials window styles.

Some buildings are "heroes" while others are merely soldiers.  Lets at least, make them GOOD soldiers they do not have to be totally without creativity.

Are there buildings on Campus that we want to be sure new buildings relate to??  Guidelines.

Want buildings to look like a "whole" when it's (the plan) done.  That they fit together better, using cohesive materials, windows, etc.

Area where Facilities Services is located good area for future expansion.  Move OFS across Nineteenth.

Growth should be upward.

Renovate the H&PE Building.

Demolish older dysfunctional buildings.

Rejuvenate older buildings.  Older buildings give a sense of history and character.

Long term- AG Quad gives students a critical mass, but also then creates isolation from the main Campus.

Have future agricultural research facilities close together to make movement of research material easy.  Students involved in AG research should be able to easily move (walk) from research facilities to classrooms.

Build an AG District on main campus - by Ag Bioscience & Plant Growth Center.

Clustering - enable Student focus on courses.

Any plan must incorporate facilities across South Nineteenth - Marsh Lab & VMB facilities

How many Land Grant Universities did you (A/S/G) view -What are their best designs?  Worst?

SUB and public student facilities need to be inviting - They are tired now.

AG building development.  Define the AG part of Campus.  AG Departments in one place is a great idea.  All AG Buildings surround Linfield Hall.

Increase in AG Technology facilities and faculty.

AG is too spread out now, results in loss of time and energy.  Centralize the AG Department.

What will be done with existing buildings at the Teaching barns?  Need long term plan for repairs/improvements and enhance the teaching and learning experience.

Build new wool lab and turn the old one into a Visitor Center; it is historical and cute and good location.

Buildings designed - internally and location - to facilitate intra- and inter-disciplinary collaboration.

Get rid of high rise buildings.

Infill, careful infill!  Create connection with museum and campus.

Create guidelines that allow for "modern" architecture that respects and complements MSU's historic architecture.

New buildings should replace parking lots, NOT green space.

Diverse forms and styles of buildings on campus embody the history of the campus.  Rather than one unifying architectural style - restore, maintain, and beautify campus buildings to look their best as they are.

Build for 75-100 year building life.  Anticipate increasing importance of energy conservation.  Do not use radical design in mid-campus.  Save this for campus edge.

Build up - buildings 6-10 stories.

Bring large buildings up near busy roads with sidewalk and/or bike lanes, i.e. Denver University on University Blvd.  For example along 19th and Kagy - big, sprawling parking lots like around tower dorms - bad.

In-fill buildings on campus.  Green space outside 11th/Kagy, 5th and College.

Quad, old main gym - great design with open space inside.

For campus plan to be most effective, a projection of student population in the next 20 years and a prioritized list of buildings to be built/renovated in this time frame are necessary.

Historical recognition of MSU campus!  (Nat'l register of historic places!)

New buildings for admin purposes - especially a centralized buildings for students (i.e. new student services, financial aid, business office, one card, etc.).

Plan community use building, cultural center, convention center.

To mitigate shortage of lab space, consider an "interdisciplinary science and engineering" building as a priority.  Such a building would serve the needs of a broad selection of disciplines and foster interdisciplinary research and teaching efforts.

High quality teaching/learning rooms.  Renovate and build.

Better quality classroom.  Need more classrooms.  Classrooms with windows.

Convention center Could be at college and 11th - makes a nice entry.

Buildings that are flexible for programs and uses.

More seminar rooms with appropriate furniture.

Improve classroom facilities - windows, technology, quality, atmosphere, chairs.  Reconcile classroom schedules.

Improved campus conference facility - large capacity.

Conference/convention center.

The college has no space for growth, particularly in terms of research offices for grant funded research, but also for faculty/staff office space as the Bozeman upper division grows and the graduate program grows.  We are badly in need of Sherrick Hall renovation and expansion.  More classroom and clinical laboratories are also needed.

Faculty require state-of-the-art teaching space.  This includes audio/visual equipment that could potentially reduce "on-campus" requirements for students.

Human scale buildings eliminate tower dorms.

Building design should promote collaboration within university and with community.

Centrally located buildings offering multiple use classrooms.  Collaboration.

Go back to the Cass Gilbert Plan - it was beautiful.

Get rid of Roskie and other hideous dorms.

Lower residence halls.  Less institutional style.

Expansion of Administrative and Research.  Where would be the best area?

Create a visible visitor's center. VISIBLE

Running out of office space, classroom space. Need more. Scheduling issues too.

Consistent architectural theme throughout the campus.  What to do with the buildings from the 50's-60's that don't fit into the theme.

We need a more formal meeting/gathering space at the Stadium.

Preserve the site north of the Museum of the Rockies for a Performing Arts Center.  Make the site available and it will come someday.  The site is near perfect for such a project.

Grow the Stadium.  Close the bowl.  This will grow community support and be The place to be on Saturday.

Need better married student housing.

Put a performing Arts Center near the Museum of the Rockies.

Love the warm red brick buildings.  Creates a warm feeling.

Keep Campus at lower height, but views are nice from the existing towers.

Preserve the existing structures.  Some departments, like the Architecture Dept need updates.

All building sites should be considered for important buildings.  Could demolish under utilized existing buildings.

Should there be a more consistent design theme.  Ties with historic elements.

Could build several buildings at Eleventh and Grant (3 corners available) could be a very nice corner.

Use buildings to define intersections. Make edges definite, leaving green spaces that are intimate and smaller.

Finish the construction of Traphagen Hall.

More modern looking buildings.

Keep the classic style of architecture instead of experimenting with trends that turn out to be disastrous in 20 years.

Tear down old halls, especially Hamilton Hall.  They are ugly and inhibit productivity.

I like the historical feel of many of the buildings.  New buildings should have a feel of that history while integrating new technology and architecture.  We have a very good architecture school on campus, but many of our buildings look awful.  Maybe use our own strong points in the future.

Large library with more computer stations, quiet areas, and talking areas.

Build an aerobics classroom that has mirrors on the walls.  Then it's easier to see if you are doing all the exercises right.

Taylor Hall and Cooley labs might be demolished/replaced by better designed (both aesthetically and mechanically) buildings.

Architecture - When designing a building, make all four sides attractive.  Hide dumpsters and mechanical units.  Good examples: Montana Hall, Romney.  Bad examples: Hapner, Leon Johnson, Taylor, Cheever, satellite building on Grant & 11th.

Keep a classical feel to the campus.  With the blind feeling Bozeman has embraced, it will be nice to have a place where the beauty of classic brick is all around.

Arts students are under-represented with facilities.  This is not proportionate with the percentage of incoming students.  E.g. 17% of 2005 frosh are engineering.  16% are in arts (music, art, arch.).  However, there are more engineering buildings.

I've noticed the trend for a compact campus.  If this continues, tall multifunction buildings should be incorporated.  i.e. Building with classrooms, labs, study rooms, computer labs, and multilayer underground parking.

Student workout facilities - it would be nice to have a room with windows and views of the mountains - the current place is like a box.

Things I like: brick structured buildings, open space, greenery, duck pond, fieldhouse, and open field behind the Hedges. 

Make sure new buildings fit in with existing.

I like the architectural continuum presented by the new buildings (dorms), the Ag Bioscience building, and the new chemistry building.

Buildings which should be demolished and replaced because they are ugly and too small:  AJM Johnson, McCall Hall.

More classical architecture, like Roberts Hall, MT Hall, old part of SUB, old Gym.

More classroom space for non-engineers.  Lots of buildings need to be redone/torn down.  Hamilton, Lewis, Traphagen, Herrick.

Consider tearing down old buildings for building sites on campus before using new ground.

Architecture - When covering the A/C units, make it fit in with the style of the building, and not just a big box of ugly bricks.

I think that there is a definite need for a better stadium.

Save old buildings that give the campus character.

Remove older buildings that do not work well and replace with new more efficient buildings.

Save barn.

There was a plan at one time that was diverted from - there has not been a real plan since the end of World War II.  We made major mistakes in the past, and we now need to identify what is sacred and good.

Try to develop the use of buildings as edges and boundaries to green spaces and pedestrian cores.

Do we try to make the core of campus more dense or which direction should we look for expansion.  South to athletic fields?  Southeast where current OFS is?  West to where old bungalows are located.

Would rather see four-story buildings than two-story.  More use in the same amount of space - but DO NOT high rise.

If it is necessary to build more high-rises, pick location carefully as you don't want to block great vistas again, but you can see a wide panorama of the valley from its heights.

A performing Arts Center:  Collaboration between MSU and the Community.  A good location would be near the Museum of the Rockies.

When building, every site should be considered.  Locate "non-contributing" buildings.

Eleventh and Grant have three good areas where new building could be placed, also Kagy and Eleventh.  Need GOOD buildings, good strong materials and good aesthetics.

Can't expect a "one-size-fits-all" style, but rather should strive for commonality.

Do we want to define an architectural theme, heights, define window styles, entry styles and maintain certain palettes of materials and color

Engage and encourage the Schools of Architecture and Engineering to be involved.  They are a great resource and they get very few opportunities to brainstorm and engage in changes.
