Master plan proposes monster changes Susan Jones-Yurkiewicz Capital Times Reporter Future construction of campus facilities was discussed by faculty and staff at an open meeting to revise the campus Physical Plant master plan, last semester. The Physical Plant Master plan organizes the placement of future buildings on PSH. The last plan was approved in 1987, and a revised plan must be completed in time for review by the board of trustees this fall. If approved, the plan will allow for a performing arts center and academic buildings. A central mall with the new library placed adjacent to the Olmsted Building on the southeast side are part of the proposals presented by Irving Hand, professor of public affairs and chairman of the task force, and David Zehngut, an architect in the campus planning office at University Park. About 20 people attended the meeting, which was held on April 30 in the Student Center at the CUB, and the majority that attended approved of the library site. "It'll be adjacent to the current center of learning," one faculty member said. "It minimizes the walking distance which will maximize its use." Walking distances were a concern because the proposed parking areas will be on the perimeter of the mall. The lot in front of the CUB will be eliminated, as well as the traffic throughways in front of Olmsted and CUB if the plan is approved, while adding lots around the mall. "People will have to get used to walking a little bit," Zehngut said. "Not every building will have parking adjacent to it." Other issues involved the use of existing buildings, whether some should be renovated or demolished, relocating admissions, and purchasing the railroad right-of-way and some or all of the Fruehauf property.
