Section 2: Campus Character

Keep the history.

Create a plan and stick to it; don't let money and favoritism decide where buildings go.

Visitor's Center located on 8th would make a nice entrance to campus.

Have a separate visitor's center.

Are there ways to make Campus more aesthetically pleasing during the winter months (instead of piles of dirty snow)

Shift Campus expansion to the west, not between Fifth and Eleventh.

Keep MSU "Mountains and Minds".

Remove ugly "artwork" from Campus.  Maybe add some nice ones.

If we are a campus that sells itself by its location in the mountains, we should have windows in the buildings so the mountains can be seen.

Hide utilities.

Explore, discover, and then enhance whatever campus characteristics will increase MSU's competitiveness in a world that may become increasingly internet/distance delivery oriented (Univ of Phoenix Model).

Where is the center of campus?  Is there really a focal point?

The Campus environment - way it feels is a very high consideration when a student picks a campus.

If we are forced to end animal experiments, we need to decide what direction to go.  Urban and agriculture are not necessarily incompatible i.e. Iowa Pioneer Production Farm

Maintain the heritage of the School and the State.

Save the old farm and barns, but make a new "showcase" for a state-of-the-art agricultural facility.

Respect the past, but there are new avenues to explore.

Do something to the north side of Johnstone (along College) to be a better neighbor rather than turning campus back to town.

Maintain historic aspects of campus.

Stop turning your back to Bozeman - 6th Street, College.  Imagine living across from the back of the physics or Johnstone buildings.

Preserve the historic elements.  Promote historic elements to broader community.

Native American Center - great idea, very important to support all our tribes in MT.

Celebrate the winter experience on campus.

Celebrate winter spaces.  Provide glass areas that allow protected access to light and outdoor views.

The Duck Pond is a great place to bring our kids and start to share stories about MSU from our time there as students.

Kagy is not an appropriate "Gateway" in its current condition.

Improve edges and gateways.

Research academics and Extension Services need to be the focus of Campus.

Campus appears somewhat disorganized in it's layout - could use some direction.
