| Outdoor clubs practicing indoors - lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee, baseball, soccer, rugby. Current club groups occupy indoor spaces already very crowded. Club sports are growing and will continue to grow. |
| In ground heat tapes to remove snow in walkways. |
| I'd like to see a distance education classroom in every building. |
| Athletics and recreation - build a shaved "sport turf" field on campus. This would help free up much indoor space during out of season (winter) practice and provide practice space for inclimate weather. i.e. football, lacrosse, ultimate, soccer, baseball. |
| Academic Scheduling - Move some classes to early morning and late afternoon/evening for better access for community and better space utilization - increase FTE. There is very little use of academic space after 3 or 4 in the afternoon. |
| We need a general classroom building that the registrar controls. This will allow for much greater flexibility of scheduling and renovation of current buildings. |
| Online HE increasing nationwide among reputable IHE. This includes "virtual libraries." Will this reduce the perceived requirement for physical space? |
| Efforts to/for private co. who can provide training and research. |
| Satellite campuses |
| Need to acquire property around campus. Develop a land acquisition program. |
| We need to focus on what needs to be done and what we would like to see and begin to search out creative ways to raise revenue for projects. |
| Look at on-line education. This may be a solution to the need for more physical buildings and classroom space. Research what effect it is having on the need for physical space on campuses. |
| Sport-turf field - it's an artificial turf that can be utilized all year long. Could be covered and utilized by the community as a funding source. Rugby, soccer, baseball and Lacrosse are all currently played indoors in less than ideal spaces. |
| Explore Story Mansion purchase for MSU-Bozeman |
| More, smaller places to eat would help lessen foot traffic distances. |
| Demographics can lead to other conclusions than those presented. Older students - work and night school. Younger students - computer literate class. Money of school - need for cheaper alternatives. |
| Think about a small scale waste-to-energy plant. There's enough garbage on campus to think about it, and we could even take in city trash to help generate revenue. |
| Remote learning; multi campuses. |
| Build "waste-to-energy" plant. Ex: Spokane, WA |
| Consider roof top gardens or terraces for informal gathering, small class meetings and views. |
| Move away from the out of date methods of space allotment. We are not using the space we have efficiently. There is software available that can help. |
| Wireless everywhere. |
| Snow melt systems (stairs/entries) need to provide some place to drain to. |
| Heat sidewalks - safety vs. energy consumption. Cost of energy, social cost of sustainability. |
| New power plant with gas turbines for cogeneration of heat and electricity. |
| Use advanced technology at entrances, new buildings. |
| Put more resources into developing a cyber campus using modern-day technology. Break out of the "bricks & mortar" paradigm. We don't need more/new buildings. We need forward thinking leadership that doesn't feel the need to stay in the box. |
| Distance learning may reduce need for class space. |
| Interactive work from remote or home affects traffic, parking, and SUB needs. |
| Online education needs to be developed to a greater degree with the opportunity to attend labs on campus as well. |
| Allow for flexible hours for staff. |
| More night classes need to be offered. |
| Diversify class time offerings to accommodate non-traditional and part-time students. |
| Wireless internet everywhere. |
| Responsible campus outdoor lighting system that reduces light pollution. |
| Bozeman and MSU have decent dark skies - future plans should incorporate appropriate lighting to balance safety with seeing the stars and avoiding lighting glare for drivers. |
| Provide wireless internet access everywhere on campus, including the dorms. Provide more tables with power outlets for lap-top computers. |
| Most campus lighting is good for avoiding light pollution and glare, but there are exceptions. A conscious attention to this should be part of the plan. |
| Wireless everywhere. |
| Have a Doggy Daycare on Campus. It seems like dogs are very popular among MSU students, but many end up sitting at home all day because their owners have class. |
| It is really great that the Architecture Dept is involved with this Campus Planning but, other Departments could easily be involved. Like the Landscape/Design students who specialize in the function, form and aesthetics of planting design, which can be combined with artistic work to create a place of interest, which is currently lacking anyplace on campus. |
| Please install Blue Light phones on Campus to upgrade safety/security. |
| Add art to the Campus in places that do not interfere with open spaces. |
| More performance spaces - theatre, cinema, art galleries. |
| More historical art. Montana is rich in history. Display it. |
| Sell some food/cafeteria space to off-campus companies. On-campus food needs more variety. |
| Pub on Campus designed after the Plew Power Building with big windows and wrought iron. |
| If there is a way, increase the amount of student-friendly businesses around/on campus, so students don't have to find a ride to Main Street or target e.g. A retail core on the north or south side of campus. |
| Sell beer in the SUB (could even be a fund raiser for good causes). Make the Campus a WET CAMPUS. It will encourage students to spend more of their recreation time on Campus. |
| Build a bar on Campus. |
| More retail/services around campus to meet student needs. |
| Large conference space facilities needed with a performance venue. Special Events Center - join forces with the City of Bozeman this & Performing Arts Center |
| Research requires space - lease space off campus. Integrating research and learning. How do we do this in areas which are off campus - harder to maintain infrastructure. |
| Move athletics to the periphery of campus rather than trying to maintain in the center. |
| Satellite Campus: Move half of Campus to west of Nineteenth. |
| Include at least one large capacity performance venue. This would be valuable not only for the campus, but the community which is struggling on this issue. |
| We need to consider faculty/staff childcare (more than we have). |
| One-stop shopping concept - for student accounts, financial aid, registrar's office, e.g. Griz Central at UM. |
| Facilities for information technology infrastructure. Allow data center growth, adjacent offices for better mgt and dept cohesiveness. |
| Establish satellite campus locations. |
| Establish degrees at night for non-traditional students. |
| Close off the campus to auto traffic entirely (Grant, maybe 11th). Plan ahead for more walking conduits that are visually appealing. |
| Come up with a forward-thinking plan for technology integration both in campus life and academics. A plan that has long-range generalities but short-range specifics. |
| Wireless internet needs to be available everywhere. |
| University should build retail space and lease these areas as a source of revenue for infrastructure. |
| Iowa's "Living History Farm" (an example). AG can live within an urban area. Some activities are incompatible, while others benefit the united community. |
| Urban and AG interface. MSU could set the national tone, There are art students out there (on the farm) now. |
| How will AG Research farms fit into the Campus Plan? Post Farm? Animal facilities? |
| Need greater promotion of the Agriculture School. The importance of AG to the Gallatin Valley and the economic benefits of AG education. Keep the farms on main campus and Huffine. |
| How to plan to maintain the image of an Agricultural College as the area becomes more urbanized. |
| Should we buy some of the residential property along the edge of Campus now before it becomes more expensive. |
| New approach to housing - Combine classroom and other assembly areas or commercial areas. A work/line model. And increase housing and classrooms now before the population increases, so the neighborhood homes can be returned to private, family use. |
| Research integration with both undergraduate and graduate students. |
| Embrace natural patterns when expanding. A great resource book: A Pattern Language/by Christopher Alexander |
| AG heritage could be the piece along Nineteenth that is visible. Not a museum, but a working farm. |
| I believe it is important to maintain multiple species of livestock for teaching and research purposes to enhance the student experience. Increase use of land with other departments. |
| Towne Farm - Create integrated demonstration/learning centers. I.e. Cornell Plantations; Iowa Living History Farms (DesMoines); Prairie Swine Center. |
| Towne Farm - West of Nineteenth - Vision: Create LONG TERM Urban/Production Ag/Teaching/Open Space/Center to maintain Student/Community contact with agriculture. |
| Running and walking trail across Nineteenth. Use as a history trail and connect with the City trail system. |
| Create an overpass/tunnel at Nineteenth to safely connect the two sections of campus. |
| AG/Urban interface needs to be explored more deeply. |
| Set a precedent for a working AG/Urban model. |
| Need to develop a master financial plan as well. Most of the Campus planning will need to be done incrementally |
| This is a golden opportunity to show how we can maintain Montana's Heritage for Agriculture, not just AG lands, but an opportunity to increase integrated research and teaching back into our community and University. |
| If the vision is good enough and strong enough, the State AG community will be behind it. |
| Is there currently any plans to purchase additional property around the College? If there are opportunities, they should be taken advantage of to prevent the Campus from becoming totally land-locked. (Sometimes purchases may upset parts of the community). |
| Transportation across Nineteenth. Overhead tram system would be safer. (No lights on Nineteenth) |
| Incorporate technology as much as possible - Demonstration projects that will serve the areas productivity and usefulness. |
| Some grazing and livestock facilities need to be maintained near Campus to allow for hands-on research. Increase plant diversity. There are many more aspects to the farm, including horticulture, bee farming, coal bed methane research, sod farming. |
| If done right, the heritage portion of the land can be maintained as a working farm with wide diversity and room for research. |
| Maybe make the future artery of Fowler a boundary for animal facilities. |
| Clustering - Core curriculum buildings/classes need to be clustered as well as the Departmental clustering. |
| Improve/provide outdoor classroom possibilities - study wetlands, design/const. Projects for students. |
| All of campus should be an outdoor classroom. Have wetland habit opportunities etc. |
| Class schedules - more night classes for non-traditional students. |
| Integration with the College of Technology to accommodate developmental programming on MSU's campus for MSU students. Classroom space. |
| How is distance learning going to improve future planning (research). |
| Plan web-based education system. |
| WiFi needed campus wide in work areas - library, SUB, other gathering and study areas. |
| Use the wool lab as the information center with MSU gift/book store and create a defined "entrance" to campus. |
| Create a historic preservation office within the facilities department. Design guidelines should be considered. |
| The infrastructure for technology needs to expand - it is insufficient for academic programs. We need all smart classrooms and conference rooms with podiums which house polycom (interactive video) so that classes, committee meetings, etc. can be connected around the state to make academic programs accessible around Montana. |
| Improve wireless technology across campus and research space across campus. |
| See the Book by Will Toor on Boulder Colorado. Many innovative ideas. |
| Wireless everywhere. |
| May need to look for more funding as if we were a "private" institution to fund future expansion. |
| I would like to see our campus be as energy efficient and environmentally friendly as possible. As more campuses are being drawn to such a plan, internet resources are available to develop or undertake a program. One site is satya@apolloalliance.org |
| Provide on-line Core Classes with lab availability (if needed) on campus in the evenings. |
| Older students need more options to attend classes to start their education or complete it - maybe at least allow to take Core classes via the Internet. |
| Keep all education oriented buildings together so students don't have to walk so far between classes. |
| Need greater opportunities for non-traditional students. Evening classes. Certification classes. Career expansion/change while still being able to maintain a job during the day. On-line Core classes. |
| MSU has the best gym facilities in Bozeman. Get revenue from the community by opening up the gym for a fee. |
| MSU needs to have a wider variety of on-campus stores. These include a store where you can go buy groceries with your one-card, a store where you can buy affordable necessities, etc. |
| How about a student bar? |
