| Research is growing and space to house them is short. |
| Increase research. |
| Would private companies and/or groups be willing to volunteer and adopt flower bed maintenance or shrub maintenance to allow more flowers on campus with less money from MSU itself? |
| The Child Development Center in Herrick Hall provides an important link to community, educational opportunities for students, and early education for young children of faculty and staff. |
| Daily staff and faculty - sports users could be sent to private clubs and reduce cost to operate and alleviate space demands. |
| Need: space for research and development. |
| Integrate campus into community/region as destination node. |
| Money needs to be spent more for research and for the researcher's benefits. SO program budgets should not be cut. |
| Parking of course, but parking close to school (parking garage). Easier way to arrive at school without searching for parking for 1/2 hour. |
| Parking! Develop a comprehensive and consistent parking management plan. Do we want shuttles? A garage? More space management? |
| Parking is NOT an issue (instead what we have is a laziness issue). ALL parking should be moved off the main campus and a bus system put in place. In addition, if you live within a mile of a Campus, you should not be allowed to drive. |
| Take an existing parking lot - one with access to many buildings and build an ATTRACTIVE parking garage. Build on the southwest corner of Eleventh & College, put services/commercial on ground level. Makes an edge and a node at a busy campus intersection. |
| We need to start a Park & Ride situation. Perhaps placing a parking lot on some of the farm ground and running a bus to campus every 10 minutes. |
| Parking is not bad here. Everyone that wants to CAN park on Campus. This is not true at many Universities. |
| No Parking Garage EVER!!! Develop an area for access and transition for the bus system that will be implemented sooner than later. ENCOURAGE alternate transportation, by not building a parking garage or taking farm land and paving it! |
| General Plan: Find areas in which to increase parking. Either by Fieldhouse or Family & Graduate Housing. |
| County/City partnering sharing fields with the High Schools in the area (would bring shared revenues) may free-up space within campus if these activities move to the perimeters of campus. |
| Park and rides are a plus for non-handicapped faculty, students and staff. |
| Parking needs to be well lit on the edge of campus with shuttles/extended bus system. |
| Build a performing arts center. It will benefit the campus and the community and end the dilemma facing the arts community. |
| Incorporate the Towne Farm into the plan and the city's plan. Ag research may need to be moved to Red Bluff (or elsewhere). |
| Additional space for research administration. |
| Research surge space - need research facility. Research is eating up too much space in our academic space. |
| Share space with local high schools - training. |
| Common high school/campus for phys ed, ECT. |
| If campus is west of 19th crossing will be a problem. Who pays for underpass? 19th - MDT. |
| Performing arts center in conjunction with private and local monies - good idea. Amphitheater for outside classes and summer performances. |
| Integrate private enterprise for revenue, i.e. sandwich shop in parking structure or food services in Chem. building or physics. |
| Move Ag research west of Nineteenth. |
| Athletics could go west of nineteenth too. Non-athletic recreation fields. |
| Parking/Entrance - Find way around campus. Getting pass at Police Station, Directories, visitor access difficult. Way finding - man-gates-etc. |
| How does AG incorporate the expansion of the community, to make the AG lands more appealing to the public. |
| What is the best of AG (to be sacred). Where are the areas where Campus (non-ag) might expand.) |
| Intra-disciplinary collaboration with dept./community. |
| Partner with city and downtown Bozeman to build a development downtown. Art center, class space, housing…? Retail services, MSU store… |
| Research and industry connections are essential. |
| Communication - if city gets community access channel - look for creative partnerships to communicate directly to citizen and broader community perhaps use as opportunity for student involvement. |
| Work with city to create bike routes into campus. |
| Work with the transportation coordinating committee and Bozeman's transportation plan to fit with broader community. Seamless traffic flow is MSU and city goal. |
| Help preserve the Bozeman historic district (east of campus). |
| Consider impact on Irving School for children of older students. |
| Integration with the College of Technology to allow sharing of facilities and students with MSU. |
| Coordinate efforts with city planning to improve traffic patterns. Determine growth pattern. |
| You forgot extension services as an integral part of MSU. Needs: easy access/parking, welcoming atmosphere for guests; these operate like businesses. |
| Contribute/cooperate with developing mass transit system. |
| Partner with city, MCT, county to help with traffic/parking/flow. |
| Buy the story mansion and make it a center for continuing education classes for the community. It is a great way to hire experts in the community, provide opportunities for local revenues, and generate revenues. |
| Build research space, new admin building, student center, performing arts, conference center. |
| Research buildings and classroom buildings - if buildings house research primarily they should be built outside the classroom epicenter and not sacrifice open areas for so few people. |
| Performing arts center. |
| Focus growth on research as opposed to student growth. Focus on 5 year vision but not bigger than 20,000 students. |
| Research needs to increase. Cap student levels at maybe 15K. Less student, more research. Research brings revenue. |
| IF - visitors can find you, there is no place to go. Partner with downtown so private enterprise can make ago of a business near Campus. Build structures with college functioning facilities above and shops on lower levels. |
| Research provides a lot of funding. |
| Don't try to completely cut streets out of Campus. The community visitors need to have ways to come to the campus and get the feel of it before walking through. |
| …I look forward to hearing in the future how I might be able to help financially. |
