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.
