Project Background and Purpose
Harvey Hall was constructed in 1916 as part of the Stout Manual Training Institute, and is the second oldest building on the main
campus. Located in the center of downtown Menomonie, in 1986 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributing building in the Menomonie Downtown Historic District. It contains 25% of general assignment classrooms on the campus
that are utilized at an 80% rate. Harvey Hall houses several departments of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
(CAHSS) including: English and Philosophy, Social Sciences, and Speech Communications, Foreign Languages, Theater and Music. It
also houses the department of Psychology.
Since the original construction, there have been a number of small remodeling projects that addressed changes in academic programs
housed in the building. Similarly there have been a number of partial infrastructure upgrades and improvements made as part of these
remodeling projects or as separate projects. These projects, primarily from the 1970’s, provided some incremental improvements in
accessibility, life safety, and mechanical and electrical infrastructure. In addition, a project in 1976 replaced the windows with aluminum
units that were not historically sensitive. A project in 1992 added fire sprinklers to the attic and theater, and provided a new HVAC system
and new lighting on the third and fourth floors. A primary electric service replacement project was completed in 2005. Exterior steps and
doors were replaced in 2007. A classroom power and IT upgrade project was completed in 2008. All of these projects were of limited
scope, and none addressed the building in its entirety, leaving much of the building with original infrastructure.
In January 2011, a complete renovation of the Harvey Hall Theatre was completed that totally renovated the theatre stage and seating;
support spaces (scene shop, wardrobe, dressing rooms, control room, audio booth) and mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection
and telecommunication systems while improving accessibility for disabled individuals. The renovated theatre spaces are not included in
this project with the exception of any building systems that run through the theatre space.
Many of the department office areas are inappropriately configured resulting in inconsistent office sizes and operational inefficiencies.
There is a lack of meeting and conference space to promote student-faculty, student-student and faculty-faculty interaction. The campus
desires the alignment of office space to better promote collaborative and interdisciplinary environments. This process focuses on the
creation of more efficient and effective operations through the consolidation of similar functions (Campus Physical Development Plan
continuing theme). One example of this is the centralization of the Technical Communication Resource Center, Writing Center and faculty
offices. Currently, these areas are spread over three floors.
The goals for this project include and will establish:
• Building infrastructure with a useable life that
approximates that of a new building
• Optimal energy efficiency
• Optimal maintainability and operability

Project Scope and Description
Harvey Hall is a four-story plus basement 50,843 ASF/136,814 GSF building that has served throughout its life as an important and
heavily used academic building, and is expected to continue in this use for the foreseeable future. This project is the second of two
projects that renovates and replaces the building infrastructure and remodels space to renew the service life
and functionality of the building and also recreate its architectural character.
The first project, the Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase I Theatre, was completed in January 2011. This project will not include renovation
of any theatre or theatre support space. This project will renovate the remaining 42,882 ASF/116,292 GSF of space in Harvey Hall. Work
within the limits of the theatre may include the replacement of building systems which run through the theatre areas.
Building infrastructure upgrading includes the replacement of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, ADA accessibility, and life
safety systems. A new secondary electrical distribution system will be installed.
New restrooms will be constructed to accommodate the large number of building users and persons with disabilities. Telecom rooms will
be constructed and stacked to provide centralized, convenient and accessible telecommunication rooms. The existing elevator requires
replacement to bring it up to current building and ADA codes and an additional elevator will be installed to accommodate the large
number of building users, including those attending events in the theatre. A fire sprinkler system will be installed and the fire alarm
system will be replaced to provide improved life safety. The existing exterior ramp for persons with disabilities should be reconstructed to
provide easier and more convenient access.
The campus technologically and functionally upgrades its classrooms to provide better aspect ratios, increased enrollments for course
sections, installation of new tables and chairs to better accommodate laptops, and installation new lighting systems and electronic
window treatments for video presentations, comfort and energy efficiency. All classrooms and laboratories should be fully mediated to
campus standards. A combination of fixed and moveable tables shall be considered. All seating will be moveable. One classroom should
be an Active Learning Classroom (ALC). The ALC will provide flexible, interactive and student-focused learning experiences using
marker boards, flat-panel display projection systems and centered teaching station. A classroom support services space should be
provided.
Other programmatic renovation will include the reconfiguration and reassignment of department and program office space for faculty and
staff, and construction of new accessible restrooms. A permanent café space should be included. Relocation and/or reconfiguration of
the loading dock should be studied.

Historic Background
• SIGNIFICANCE
Harvey Hall is historically significant for its association with the development of Manual Training at the Stout Institute, one of the major
educational institutions for industrial and domestic arts in the United States. The school’s major benefactor, James Huff Stout, and the
school’s first president, Lorenzo Dow Harvey were responsible for creating the physical and educational foundation for the early
development of the Stout Institute.
Harvey Hall is architecturally significant as a visually intact example of an educational building design by prominent midwestern
architect, John D Chubb of Chicago. Harvey Hall is one of two surviving buildings from the early years of the Stout Institute, and is a
contributing building in the Menomonie Downtown Historic District (NRHP-1986)
