CHANCELLOR’S INTRODUCTION
The University of Wisconsin-Stout is a recognized leader in educational innovation and the only UW
System institution (and only one of about 175 schools nationwide) to provide a laptop computer to all
undergraduate students. We are one of the few schools to adopt effective assessment tools for the
program. As a wireless and wired campus, 90 percent of our classrooms are modern, mediated learning
centers, and we are committed to using modern technology for all education and business functions. Labbased experiences are provided for the majority of students in all programs.
UW-Stout was officially designated Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University by the Board of Regents in March
2007. This initiative is simply the natural outgrowth of our historic tradition. The designation guides UWStout when adding degree programs; it elevates the already excellent reputation the university has with
business and industry; it increases national recognition which means more opportunities for research and
partnerships with business and industry; and it builds on UW-Stout’s already exceptional placement rate
providing excellent co-op, internship and job opportunities. We are organizing an aggressive plan for
extramural funding, a strong honors program, a branding/marketing campaign, and we have adopted a
plan for academic program realignment. The program array for a polytechnic is broad, career focused and
includes programs in the arts, social and related sciences, and education. There is a sharp focus on
sciences, mathematics, engineering and related technologies as well as very specialized programs, such
as dietetics and packaging engineering. Our newest building project – the renovation and expansion of
UW-Stout’s science building, Jarvis Hall – will provide students with a state-of-the-art building for the
sciences, mathematics, computer science, statistics and general classrooms.
To ensure that UW-Stout remains at the forefront of innovation, we use an open, participatory strategic
planning system that fosters continuous quality improvement. And, the campus is currently engaged in a
Campus Master Planning Process that will provide long-term guidance and direction; and will be designed
to comprehensively coordinate the planning of facilities, academic programs, utility infrastructure, land
acquisition and campus services.
As a campus of dedicated professionals, UW-Stout is poised to continue moving forward in a positive
manner to meet the needs of our students and stakeholders.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
UW-Stout, Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University and 2001 Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award
recipient, is pleased to present its 2009-2015 Campus Physical Development Plan (CPDP).
This plan is the result of much discussion, analysis, review and revision. The observations and
recommendations included in the 2009-2015 Campus Physical Development Plan reflect this process and
effort.
Paramount to the development of the 2009-2015 Campus Physical Development Plan was the
commitment of the campus to its goals; academic plan; issues and themes; and space needs. These are
briefly summarized as follows:
Strategic Goals
UW-Stout is committed to its strategic goals. These include Enduring Goals and Focus 2010 (refer to
Background Section D: Strategic Goals).
The Enduring Goals, as evident in their name, reflect the campus’ continuous efforts to maintain and
promote its challenging academic programs; active learning principles; excellence in teaching, research,
scholarship and service; recruitment and retention of a diverse university population; fostering of a
collegial, trusting and tolerant campus climate; safe, accessible, effective, efficient and inviting physical
facilities; and responsive, efficient and cost-effective educational support programs and services.
Focus 2010 concentrates on the preparation of students and graduates for success; the creation of a
learning community that supports and encourages the engagement of its members in active learning;
achieving national leadership and excellence in educating students in the theory and application of a
broad range of technologies; strengthening on-campus organization by focusing on UW-Stout’s unique
mission with the UW System; and creating a school outside the school enterprise that serves learners
statewide, nationally and internationally.
Program Trends
UW-Stout is committed to its academic plan. An Academic Program Realignment became effective on
July 1, 2008 and consists of four colleges: College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of
Education, Health and Human Sciences; College of Management; and College of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). There are five (5) intended outcomes of this realignment:
1. Group similar programs, departments and disciplines together in units so they are better able to
address common issues, share curriculum and resources, develop new programs, maximize
capabilities, minimize duplication and work under common leadership.
2. Capitalize on trends and opportunities that have emerged over the past decade and position the
campus for growth.
3. Align programs with an administrative structure that will strengthen UW-Stout’s mission and
polytechnic identity and position UW-Stout among its national polytechnic peers. Expand
technology transfer and outreach efforts to more fully realize regional economic growth and
strengthen ties with external partners and stakeholders.
4. Develop an administrative structure of units that is more descriptive and understandable to both
internal and external audiences, including potential faculty and staff hires, and provide greater
brand identity to administrative and academic units. It is desirable to have an organizational
structure that clearly explains who we are and what we do as an institution.
5. Provide a more coordinated approach to facilitate efforts of faculty and staff interested in
interdisciplinary and collaborative programs including the Curriculum Incubation Center, Learning
Communities, First Year Experience, Project Lead the Way and the University Honors Program.
A coordinated approach is also needed to facilitate joint appointments, team teaching, facultystudent research initiatives and faculty involvement in Student Services initiatives.

Executive Summary
2-1
UW-Stout
Campus Physical Development Plan
2009-11
While academic planning is constantly evolving, it aids in the development of the Campus Physical
Development Plan by identifying academic and space program needs. UW-Stout offers many unique
programs not available at other UW System campuses. There are currently thirty (30) undergraduate and
seventeen (17) graduate programs at UW-Stout. There are fifteen (15) recently approved and developing
programs (refer to Background Section E: Program Trends).
A developing trend is the implementation of a customized instruction program which offers courses to
students who are primarily on line or at a distance from campus. This “school outside the school” program
is delivered in more non-traditional methods and formats and is customized for the student.
Planning Issues and Themes
UW-Stout is committed to addressing its planning issues and themes. Ten (10) major issues and six (6)
continuing themes have been identified by the campus. The issues primarily focus on major building
renovation and addition projects including: Harvey Hall; Home Economics; Bowman Hall; Communication
Technologies; Recreation and Athletic Complex; Student Health Center; Robert S. Swanson Learning
Center; residence halls; and University Centers. Campus parking is another issue requiring much
consideration. Continuing themes include: classroom size, quality and adequacy; older building
infrastructure; consolidation of similar functions and availability to the public; telecommunications
infrastructure; sustainability; and life safety and accessibility (refer to Background Section F: Planning
Issues and Themes).
Space Needs
UW-Stout has identified, documented and planned its space needs by focusing on utilization and
efficiency. A Campus Space Audit, Inventory and Utilization Study was completed by campus planning in
the spring of 2007 and addressed facility use of all buildings relating to efficiency, availability,
appropriateness, condition and flexibility of space.
By improving general assignment utilization of classrooms and laboratories, much square footage will
become available to address other space needs. The campus feels that this will allow anticipated space
growth needs to be accommodated within existing building space. The exception to this is the demand for
additional space in the Sports and Fitness Center. This has been estimated to be 120,000 ASF (refer to
Background Section G: Space Needs Summary).
Near Term Development
Proposed Major projects include:
2009-2011: Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase II Infrastructure
University Centers Renovation and Infrastructure
2011-2013: Home Economics Building Renovation and Infrastructure
2013-2015: Bowman Hall Renovation and Infrastructure

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
UW-Stout is one of 13 four-year campuses and 13 two-year campuses in the University of Wisconsin
System. The UW System designates UW-Stout as a special mission institution, forged from the heritage
of its founder, James Huff Stout, a Wisconsin industrialist. Mr. Stout believed that people needed
advanced education to prepare them for America’s developing industrial society. To implement this vision,
Mr. Stout founded a private institution called the Stout Manual Training School in 1891. In 1911, the
training school became a public institution named Stout Institute and received teacher-training
accreditation in 1928 with programs centered on industrial arts and home economics. In 1932, Stout was
accredited as a college and received Master’s degree accreditation in 1948. The campus became Stout
State College in 1955, Stout State University in 1964, and in 1971, UW-Stout became part of the UW
System when the two public university systems were combined under one Board of Regents. In 2001,
UW-Stout became the first university to receive the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award in
recognition of its history of performance excellence in higher education.
In 2007, UW-Stout received designation as Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University.

CHARACTER
UW-Stout is located in the city of Menomonie, Wisconsin, a traditional, yet progressive city with a
population of 15,940. Menomonie is in west central Wisconsin about 30 miles west of Eau Claire and 75
miles east of Minneapolis, Minnesota. UW-Stout is located approximately half way between UW-River
Falls and UW-Eau Claire.
The UW-Stout campus, which consists of 131 acres on two campuses – Main Campus and North
Campus, is situated in Menomonie’s downtown, south of Lake Menomin, and has been since the
institution’s founding in 1891. Main Street, which fronts Main Campus on the north, has been designated
a national Downtown Historic District, and is anchored by the Victorian-era Mabel Tainter Memorial
Theater. The location of UW-Stout in Menomonie’s downtown provides the university with unique
opportunities and challenges within the Menomonie community as it serves not only as an institution of
higher education, but also as a neighbor, resource and employer.
With the opening of the Stout Technology Park in 1990, the Stout University Foundation Inc. has realized
its goal of providing a "highly specialized environment" for the university and technically-oriented private
businesses to work together and to take advantage of the resources each has to offer. The park is
designed to attract firms that specialize in areas where Stout has strong expertise, including packaging,
plastics, graphic arts, food service, home economics, product development, computer science, industrial
technology, plant engineering, and hotel and restaurant management. In 1967, a $50,000 private
donation to the foundation was used as a down payment to purchase more than 700 acres of land on
U.S. 12 to benefit the university. Of the 385 acres still owned by the foundation, 113 were deeded to the
Stout Technology Park Development Corp. In partnership with the foundation, Northern States Power
Company (now Xcel Energy) and the City of Menomonie invested $1 million in the park for utilities and
roads. Wisconsin Bell (now AT&T) has provided the groundwork for the latest in telecommunications.
An industrial park located in northeast Menomonie provides a thriving base of industries including 3M,
Ford Motor Company, Wal-Mart Distribution Center, Cardinal FG, Andersen Windows, Phillips Plastics
Corporation and others. UW-Stout associates with these industries by providing services through
programs such as: Northwest Wisconsin Manufacturing Outreach Center (NWMOC), which provides

expertise in manufacturing management, and the Stout Technology Transfer Institute (STTI), which
promotes technology transfer between UW-Stout and industry.
Its 8,477 students are enrolled in the School of Education (SOE) or one of three colleges: College of Arts
and Sciences (CAS); College of Human Development (CHD); or College of Technology, Engineering and
Management (CTEM).
An Academic Program Realignment will become effective at UW-Stout on July 1, 2008. There will be four
colleges: College of Arts and Letters; College of Education, Health and Human Sciences; College of
Management; and College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
A distinctive array of 30 undergraduate and 19 graduate programs are offered at UW-Stout. These
programs lead to the following degrees: Bachelor’s of Science (BS), Bachelor’s of Arts (BA), Bachelor’s of
Fine Arts (BFA), Master’s of Science (MS), Master’s of Science in Education (MSE), and the Education
Specialist degree (Ed S).
In 2006-07, 1,213 faculty and staff were employed at UW-Stout. Of the 256 faculty, 100 (39%) were
professors, 57 (22%) were associate professors, and 99 (39%) were assistant professors. 56% of all
employees were women and 6% were minorities. 39% of the faculty were women and 12% were
minorities. 44% of the executive/director/administrators were women and 2% were minorities. 52% of the
instructional academic staff were women and 4% were minorities. 58% of the professional (noninstructional) academic staff were women and 6% were minorities. 66% of the classified staff were
women and 3% were minorities.

Issue Description
Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase II Remodel
 The building infrastructure is functionally poor, deteriorating and obsolete. This
includes: mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications, life
safety, ADA accessibility and elevators. The building has low efficiency,
inherent of its 1916 design and results in many disconnected small offices and
classrooms with poor aspect ratios.
Changing Programs and Infrastructure Upgrade – Home Economics Building
 There is inadequate space for evolving and changing academic programs.
These programs cannot be accommodated with deteriorating and obsolete
building infrastructure including: mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical,
telecommunications, life safety, ADA and elevators.
Changing Needs in Student Services Support Areas – Bowman Hall
 Prospective and current students are currently inconvenienced with
disconnected student service support areas for students.
Growing and Changing Programs in Communication Technologies Building
 This building is a second-use facility, originally constructed as a student union,
and provides inadequate and inefficient space for program growth and
increased technology requirements.
Recreation and Athletic Facilities
 Recreational and athletic space is inadequate to meet the ever-growing
demands of students and student-athletes.
Appropriate Facilities and Location for Student Health Services
 The Student Health Center, located on North Campus, suffers from the
deterioration of an older facility and a location that is inconvenient for most
students, specifically the freshmen living on Main Campus.
Robert S. Swanson Learning Center
 This building does not provide appropriate and proper facilities for studentfocused and faculty/staff services. Students frequently request for more group
study rooms which promote collaboration and interaction.

Issue Description
Residence Hall Infrastructure and Ability of Aging Residence Halls to Remain
Competitive
 Physical systems in campus residence halls built in the late 1950’s through
1970 are reaching the end of their expected life. Continuous problems with
leaking plumbing, ruptured buried steam piping, outmoded and inadequate
electrical power distribution systems and excessive heat loss through
deteriorated windows are, and will continue to be, very costly. Life safety
issues are also a concern. Buildings of that era lack elevators and ADAcomplying toilet and shower rooms. Serious consideration must be given to the
solutions to these issues and the impact improvements will have on the fee
paid by all students who reside in residence halls.
University Centers
 The Memorial Student Center and Merle M. Price Commons lack appropriate
and proper facilities for student-focused services and conference/meeting
space. Current facilities do not meet the technological, social and aesthetic
expectations of students. The building system infrastructure, including
mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications, life safety, ADA
accessibility and elevators, is deteriorating.

Campus Parking
 Current and future building construction projects impact the number, capacity
and location of parking lots. Parking is not proportionately provided (e.g., some
North Campus residents have to park in Main Campus lots). Stormwater
management requirements will reduce the number of available parking spaces.
CONTINUING THEMES
In addition to the planning issues listed above, UW-Stout has identified six continuing themes that are an
integral part of all applicable projects on the issues list. They are listed separately as they need to be
integrated into many projects and cannot be fully addressed in one project.
Theme

11/18/2008
Theme Description
Classroom Size, Quality and Adequacy
 New academic programs have raised the expectation for technologyenabled instruction. The campus’ commitment to technology (e.g., the
laptop e-Scholar program) has made it more difficult to provide
adequate electrical and data capabilities in classrooms. Almost one
quarter of the campus’ general assignment classrooms are located in
Harvey Hall, an older building in which it is very difficult to provide
these services. HVAC system inadequacies exist in many older
buildings. Poor aesthetic issues, including, flooring, paint, ceiling,
lighting and furniture also exist. There is a classroom demand
imbalance – too many small classrooms, not enough medium-sized
classrooms.
Infrastructure Concerns Related to Older Buildings
• Building envelopes on campus require renovations of the existing
systems which have exceeded their life expectancies, failing roof
systems, inefficient and inoperable windows, metal doors and frames
are deteriorating due to corrosion, tuckpointing and caulking failures
and through-wall flashing replacements.
• The majority of mechanical systems on campus are constant volume
air with pneumatic control systems which are energy inefficient, provide
over heating and under heating spaces with limited control to areas
within the facility. Fire dampers are missing in several HVAC systems
which are required with current fire codes.
• The electrical substation, which serves the campus, is reaching
capacity on one of two banks during routine maintenance or an
emergency condition. The secondary distribution systems within
buildings are at capacity and have obsolete breakers.
• The UPS systems are at capacity or are approaching their designed life
cycle. The Heating Plant and Millennium Hall are the two buildings
which require replacement and upgrades.
• Plumbing systems across campus have reached their life
expectancies. The waste system was constructed of galvanized piping
and is routinely failing along with valving which is non-operational.
Twenty percent of the drinking fountains on campus are nonoperational. Random leaking is a normal occurrence.
The Right Space: Consolidation of Similar Functions and Availability to the Public
• Operational inefficiencies and ineffectiveness result from the
disconnectivity of departments. Departments that are located in
different buildings are difficult for students and visitors to find.

Telecommunications Closets and Wiring Needs
• Telecommunication needs have expanded and exceed the space
available in existing Main Distribution Frames (MDF). This is partially a
result of the implementation of the e-Scholar (laptop) program.
• Connectivity and power distribution for laptops is inadequate.
• There is a lack of dedicated building MDF’s and some have been
constructed in non-compliant spaces.
• Existing MDF’s suffer from inadequate HVAC systems resulting in the
overheating of equipment.
• Non-labeled and abandoned cables are installed directly on ceiling
grids and tile. These need to be installed to comply with current
standards.
Sustainability
• Energy efficiency and stormwater management requirements impact
budget and operations.
Life Safety and Accessibility
• Fire stopping is missing in all buildings except for Red Cedar Hall and
the Administration Building.
• Elevators across campus require ADA upgrading to meet current
standards.
• Restrooms across campus require ADA upgrading to meet current
standards.
• Fire alarm systems are at capacity and we are unable to get
replacement parts for obsolete systems. These systems are unable to
be adapted to meet current codes.
• Emergency generators across campus are requiring additional
maintenance and parts are becoming difficult to obtain. They have all
exceeded their life expectancy.

G. SPACE NEEDS SUMMARY
The UW-Stout campus consists of 2,497,267 gross square feet (GSF)/1,408,584 assignable square feet
(ASF). Of its 64 buildings, 21 are academic, 20 are residential and 23 are service (administrative, physical
plant, heating plant, general services, storage, etc.) buildings.
UW-Stout is addressing concerns with building interior space utilization and efficiency. A Campus Space
Audit, Inventory and Utilization Study was completed by campus planning in the spring of 2007 and
addressed facility use of all buildings relating to efficiency, availability, appropriateness, condition and
flexibility of space. Building efficiency is based on UW System Administration (UWSA) and the Division of
State Facilities (DSF) space standards and guidelines.
The objectives of this Space Audit, Inventory and Utilization Study were to:
1. Review all rooms on the UW-Stout campus
2. Accurately document room use and assignment
3. Identify campus space issues for inclusion in the Campus Physical Development Plan process
4. Provide recommendations to better utilize existing campus space
5. Provide information to assist in the development of a Campus Master Plan
In addition to classroom, laboratory and office standards and utilization, building efficiency is analyzed. The
Division of State Facilities (DSF) has established efficiency standards for a variety of building types.
To assist in the identification and categorizing of space on campus, UW-Stout used the Postsecondary
Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual (FICM) – 2006 Edition.

CLASSROOM FACILITIES
A Classroom Survey and Assessment was completed in 2006 for general assignment classrooms. Its
purpose was to allow UWSA to better understand the conditions of existing classrooms and address the
remodeling, technology and furniture requirements and costs to maintain high-level instructional facilities
system-wide. This survey and assessment has better positioned the campus in repurposing sub-standard
classrooms, such as substandard classrooms. In addition, it provides valuable planning information for
campus-funded projects such as the e-Scholar (laptop) program.
This process included the identification of general assignment classrooms and site surveys of each
classroom. The surveys included data collection of room dimensions, ceiling height, assignable square
feet (ASF), aspect ratio, room type (A: functional; B: substandard), capacity, seating type, technology
levels, remodeling needs, funding timeframe, 2007-09 budget information and funding sources.
Please note that the general assignment classrooms in the Jarvis Hall Science Wing are included as the
survey and assessment reflect current classroom data. These classrooms are proposed to be replaced in
the Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project. With the completion of this project there is
no identified need for additional classrooms. However, there will be an ongoing need to update existing
classrooms.

LABORATORY FACILITIES
In the fall of 2007, the Chancellor charged that a Laboratory Audit be conducted as a follow up to the
Campus Space Audit, Inventory and Utilization Study. The intent of the audit is to accurately define,
identify and document laboratory spaces and distinguish them from lab prep, supply and other rooms.
At the time of this writing, all tours of laboratory and laboratory service areas have been completed. Final
approval of the Laboratory Audit is anticipated in summer 2008 for implementation in the fall 2008
semester.
In addition to the Laboratory Audit, the Chancellor has also charged that a Laboratory Modernization
Renewal Plan be conducted as a follow up to the Laboratory Audit. The intent of this plan is to identify
and document dates and descriptions of laboratory modifications. This information is critical to members
of the Campus Space Committee as they review annual Laboratory Modernization Requests so as not to
ignore the need for modernization of labs which might not be submitted for lab mod funding. The
schedule calls for its completion in the 2008-09 academic year.
With the completion of the Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project, there is no
identified need for additional laboratories. However, there will be an ongoing need to update existing
laboratories.

OFFICE FACILITIES
Office facility space utilization and efficiency concerns were identified in the Campus Space Audit, Inventory
and Utilization Study which was completed in the spring of 2007.
In the fall of 2006, UW-Stout had 906 offices totaling 156,558 ASF. The average size of a campus office is
173 ASF. This equates to 11.4% of the total campus ASF. There is no identified need for additional office
space although requests for office space are occasionally submitted. There are many opportunities to
accommodate these requests within some departments or units.
400
STUDY FACILITIES
UW-Stout fosters and promotes collaboration between students and faculty. Students at UW-Stout have
been requesting more study space around campus. Included in this request is a 24/7 study room. The
Robert S. Swanson Learning Center, formerly the Library Learning Center, provides some student study
rooms, but the demand exceeds the supply. Campus Planning is currently engaged in building space use
studies in the Robert S. Swanson Learning Center and Millennium Hall. These studies will identify
potential locations for student study space in both formal and informal settings.
The Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project will provide many opportunities for formal
and informal study space. In addition to open tutor and instructional labs, open spaces throughout the
building will be provided to promote collaboration between students and students; students and faculty;
and faculty and faculty.
All undergraduate students at UW-Stout are provided a laptop computer. While they can be powered by
battery and network access is provided through wireless systems across campus, the university
understands the limits of power and network access. The campus has undertaken an aggressive stance
in providing electrical power receptacles and data ports in many areas where students study or lounge.
The Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project will provide many power and data sources
throughout the building for easy and reliable access.

SPECIAL USE FACILITIES
Athletic and Physical Education Facilities
The Sports and Fitness Center (SFC) provides 136,635 ASF/187,016 GSF of athletic, physical
education, recreation and intramural space. There is a need to expand the current physical area of
the Sports and Fitness Center to accommodate continued growth in recreation and intramural
activities; provide more flexibility to accommodate the demand for athletic, physical education,
recreation and intramural space; and provide much needed storage space. A space study has
determined that an additional of 80,000 ASF/100,000 GSF is necessary to meet the projected
demand. This additional area includes a multi-purpose room, locker rooms, weight room, offices,
lounge and storage.
The current outdoor facilities including Williams Stadium (football), Alumni Field (women’s and
intramural softball), Nelson Field (soccer), baseball field, multi-purpose field, track, ropes course and
tennis courts, are in heavy demand. The fields are difficult to maintain due to high demand.
570
Animal Facilities
UW-Stout currently conducts instructional research of animals in the Jarvis Hall Science Wing. The
only animals used in these studies are zebra fish. The Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and
Addition project will provide expanded space and technology for the continued studies of zebra fish in
an aquatics complex. In addition, a mammalian complex is included in the project for studies involving
the potential use of animals.

GENERAL USE FACILITIES
Assembly
Harvey Hall was constructed in 1916 as part of the Stout Manual Training Institute, and is the second
oldest building on Main Campus. In 1986 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributing building in the Menomonie Downtown Historic District. It 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. An important component of Harvey Hall is its theatre, which seats approximately
600, and has always been the only theatre at UW-Stout. The Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase I
Theatre project was included in the 2007-2009 Capital Budget.
630
Food Facility
The Memorial Student Center currently has three food service venues. These venues may change in
the future based on planning currently underway for upgrades and improvements to the Memorial
Student Center.
The Merle M. Price Commons houses a large dining facility of 12,453 ASF primarily catering to
student residents. It is directly connected to a kitchen. It does not provide for any other assembly of
many persons, although there are several meeting rooms in the building.
Tainter Hall, located on North Campus, houses a large dining room of 6,881 ASF and is directly
connected to a kitchen. This dining facility will be removed with the demolition of the Jeter-TainterCallahan (JTC) residence hall upon completion of the Hovlid Hall Renovation and Addition project,
which will construct a replacement food service facility for North Campus. JTC demolition is
anticipated in 2010.
640
Day Care
Day care services are provided in both the Child and Family Study Center (pre-school) and the Home
Economics building (infant and toddler). Day care primarily serves as an instructional laboratory in the
Early Childhood Education program. It is the desire of the campus to combine both of these functions
in the Home Economics building.
650
Lounge
In general, there is a lack of lounge space on campus. Highly trafficked buildings which provide little
lounge space include the Memorial Student Center, Merle M. Price Commons, Robert S. Swanson
Learning Center, and Sports and Fitness Center. The Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and
Addition project will provide many lounges/student study spaces throughout the building. It is
desirable to provide additional and more appealing lounge spaces in other buildings, specifically
Harvey Hall, Bowman Hall and Applied Arts.
670
Recreation
The Multi-Purpose Room in the Sports and Fitness Center is occasionally used for assembly
purposes, both for the campus and the outside community.

Meeting Room
University Centers includes two buildings which provide assembly space for large groups and
includes the Memorial Student Center (MSC) and Merle M. Price Commons (PC), both of which are
located on Main Campus.
The Memorial Student Center specifically provides large assembly spaces including the Great Hall
and the Crystal Ballrooms. These rooms are heavily used not only by the campus, but also by the
Menomonie community. The Great Hall contains 6,768 ASF of space used for performances,
presentations, conferences and other special events. The Crystal Ballrooms (A, B and C) contain
5,076 ASF of space used for presentations, conferences, meetings and other special events. After
twenty-three years, the Great Hall and Crystal Ballrooms have shown deteriorating signs of aging in
its mechanical, electrical and telecommunications infrastructure. They require remodeling to improve
aesthetics, functionality and provide an attractive and appealing environment.
The campus is currently engaged with architects in a University Centers Renovation Pre-Planning
Study for the Memorial Student Center. This study primarily focuses on student-related spaces and
does not include any renovation work in the Great Hall or Crystal Ballrooms.

SUPPORT FACILITIES
Central Computer or Telecommunications
Millennium Hall hosts the central computer and telecommunication systems for the UW-Stout
campus. A building use plan is currently being developed for Millennium Hall to address space and
accessibility concerns for the laptop program. Laptop service is provided on the third floor of
Millennium Hall in a constricted space that is remote, inconvenient and unappealing to students.
720
Shop
Manufacture, repair and maintenance space is provided in the General Services building located on
Main Campus. This 27,335 ASF/35,433 GSF building houses the campus physical plant including
building maintenance, campus engineering, custodial services, grounds maintenance, fleet vehicles,
key control, recycling and administrative offices.
730
Central Storage
Purchasing Services is located in the University Services building located on Main Campus. The
University Services building contains 31,938 ASF/39,846 GSF of which 8,906 square feet is used for
central storage.
760
Hazardous Materials Storage
775 square feet of hazardous materials storage is provided in the University Services building. While
other hazardous materials are kept in other buildings such as the Jarvis Hall Science Wing and
Applied Arts, this central storage facility is used for the receiving, shipping and disposal of chemicals
and other hazardous materials.
800
HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Student Health Services is located in the Student Health Center on North Campus. This facility, circa
1957, consists of 8,005 ASF/11,572 GSF of examination, laboratory and office space. This building
was originally constructed as a health care facility for the city of Menomonie. Through acquisition, it
became the Student Health Center for UW-Stout. Although the allocation of space seems appropriate
for its function, the condition and location of the building is a concern. The building is over fifty years
old and its residential quality infrastructure requires much maintenance. Its location on North Campus
makes it very inconvenient for Main Campus residents (all freshmen and many sophomores).

Hovlid Hall, located on North Campus, is currently in design for a renovation and addition project. The
addition will include new dining facilities and service space to replace those facilities in Tainter Hall.
All residence halls on Main and North Campus, with the exception of Red Cedar Hall, were
constructed in the late 1950’s through 1970. All of these residence halls show signs of infrastructure
age and fatigue. Jeter-Tainter-Callahan (JTC), the oldest residence facility on the UW-Stout campus,
is planned for demolition following the completion of the new dining facility at Hovlid Hall resulting in a
reduction of 55,490 ASF/86,120 GSF. There is no planned construction of a new residence hall to
replace JTC.
UW-Stout is currently engaging in a residence hall renewal plan study to identify and document the
existing building system conditions in all residence halls except for Red Cedar Hall. This information
will be analyzed and its findings will be prioritized as to determine which residence halls will receive
renovation, at what time and at what cost.

paramount to the continued excellence in instruction. Support services are next considered in the
development of the chart.
General Purpose Revenue (GPR) Priority Project Request Summary
The Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase II Remodel project is considered UW-Stout’s top GPR priority based
on the following issues:




Harvey Hall was built in 1916 and its aged condition has resulted in deteriorating and obsolete
building infrastructure systems such as: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications and life
safety. This building is very difficult to maintain.
Harvey Hall houses almost one-quarter of the general assignment classrooms making it the most
utilized classroom building on campus. These classrooms provide seating for almost 800
students.
Harvey Hall uses space very inefficiently, inherent of its original design.
The Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project will allow the Mathematics,
Statistics and Computer Science (MSCS) department to relocate from Harvey Hall to the Jarvis
Hall Science Wing. The area vacated by MSCS will provide the campus with opportunities to
address major space issues on campus, such as the relocation and/or consolidation of academic
programs and/or departments. This is the first critical and necessary action for the campus to
begin aligning academic programs with facilities and is key to the successful implementation of
the Campus Physical Development Plan.
The Home Economics Building Remodel project continues UW-Stout’s commitment to academics and
facilities. This building houses three of the four colleges on campus: College of Education, Health and
Human Sciences; College of Management; and College of Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM). With the academic program realignment, effective July 1, 2008, the Home
Economics building is not only in need of building infrastructure repair or replacement, but also
programmatic reconfiguration to better consolidate similar functions and improve operational efficiencies.
The Bowman Hall Remodel project addresses UW-Stout’s goal of providing prospective and current
students with student service facilities that are convenient, accessible, welcoming and attractive. It is
anticipated that operational efficiencies could be realized with improved alignment of departments which
work together closely.
The Communications Technologies Building Remodel or Demolition and Replacement project addresses
academic, space management and building infrastructure concerns. Due to its age, deteriorating
infrastructure and second-hand use (originally designed as a student union), this building is being
considered for either a major remodel, or, demolition and replacement with a new academic facility.
The Vocational Rehabilitation Building Remodel or Demolition and Replacement project addresses
academic, space management and building infrastructure concerns. Due to its age, deteriorating
infrastructure and second-hand use (originally designed as a library), this building is being considered for
either a major remodel, or, demolition and replacement with a new academic facility.
The Sports and Fitness Center Remodel and Addition project addresses UW-Stout’s most critical need for
additional space. The current building, which provides facilities for physical education, recreation,
intramurals and athletics, is experiencing deteriorating infrastructure such as air quality and plumbing.
The current facilities do not meet the expectations of students and other users of the building in regards
to adequate building systems and facilities to meet the demands of students and athletics.
The Applied Arts Remodel project primarily addresses the deteriorating conditions of building
infrastructure systems including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications and life safety. The
evolving and changing academic programs cannot be adequately served with aged building systems
resulting in health and safety concerns.

Program Revenue (PR) Priority Project Request Summary
The Memorial Student Center Remodel project is considered UW-Stout’s top PR priority based on the
following issues:


Its aging condition has resulted in deteriorating and obsolete building infrastructure systems such
as: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecommunications and life safety. This building is very difficult to
maintain.
This building does not meet the expectations and needs of changing student demographics and
other users in regards to aesthetics, retail amenities, conference/meeting space, dining, social
gathering spaces, air quality, electrical, telecommunications and life safety.
UW-Stout is currently engaging in a residence hall renewal plan study which will identify deficiencies in all
residence halls on Main Campus and North Campus, except for Red Cedar Hall and Hovlid Hall. It is
intended for this study to provide facility condition reports (building system infrastructure, accessibility,
and life safety), architectural recommendations, cost estimates and a schedule for implementation. While
this study is not yet completed, it is anticipated that projects will be proposed for residence hall remodels
in each of the next five biennia beginning in 2011-15. It is also anticipated that the study may result in a
decision to demolish and replace an existing residence hall if it is decided that there may be little value in
remodeling. We have identified the 2017-19 biennium as a possible time frame for this project.

An Academic Program Realignment became effective at UW-Stout on July 1, 2008. There are four
colleges: College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of Education, Health and Human
Sciences; College of Management; and College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM).
Construction of the Jarvis Hall Science Wing Renovation and Addition project is scheduled for completion
and occupation in August 2010. This project will provide state-of-the-art laboratories for biology, chemistry
and physics; general assignment classrooms and the opportunity to relocate the Department of
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (MSCS) from Harvey Hall. The relocation of MSCS will
better facilitate the collaborative instruction of math and the sciences which will be included in the new
College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
With the relocation of MSCS to the Jarvis Hall Science Wing, the Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase II
Infrastructure project warrants greater consideration and opportunity. MSCS currently occupies
approximately 8,000 ASF in Harvey Hall which will become available for other use. In addition, the MSCS
relocation will result in less general assignment classroom demand in Harvey Hall. This will provide
opportunity to take some poor quality general assignment classrooms off-line. The 2006 General
Assignment Classroom Assessment and Instructional Technology Survey identified twenty-one (21)
general assignment classrooms. Five of these classrooms, totaling approximately 3,200 ASF, were
graded as Type B, meaning that they are less than desirable instructional spaces and should be
considered for being taken off-line. Combining the available MSCS area of 8,000 ASF and the classroom
area of 3,200 ASF, results in 11,200 ASF of vacant space in Harvey Hall. McCalmont Hall, constructed
originally as a residence hall, currently houses academic offices and laboratories (Department of
Psychology and School of Education), Stout Vocational Rehabilitation Institute (SVRI) clients and one
floor of student housing (fifth floor). The Department of Psychology occupies 6,000 ASF and the School of
Education (SOE) occupies 4,400 ASF for a total of 10,400 ASF. Psychology and SOE could relocate to
Harvey Hall in the 11,200 ASF of vacant space. University Housing could then reclaim half of the second
floor and all of the third and fourth floors in McCalmont Hall for student housing. SVRI would remain in
McCalmont Hall in the near term development plan. Other SOE offices and instructional spaces could
also relocate to Harvey Hall, resulting in available space for the Child and Family Study Center (see
below). The relocation of psychology and SOE cannot occur until the Harvey Hall Renovation – Phase II
Infrastructure project is completed.
The Nakatani Center, located in Millennium Hall, is a 1,000 ASF facility used for instructional training. Its
relocation to the Robert S. Swanson Learning Center will address two issues on campus. First, ASK5000,
the student laptop help desk currently located in Micheels Hall, will relocate to Millennium Hall. This move
will provide better accommodations and convenience for students in addition to proximity to
telecommunications and networking staff in Millennium Hall. Secondly, the presence of the Nakatani
Center in the Robert S. Swanson Learning Center will provide more interaction and collaboration with
faculty, staff and students.
With the relocation of the ASK5000 Help Desk to Millennium Hall and the reassignment of one computer
lab, the space vacated in Micheels Hall could be used to accommodate the new Master of Fine Arts and
Gaming and Design Development programs. It is estimated that 7,500 ASF will be required for these two
programs. The vacated area in Micheels Hall provides approximately 8,000 ASF.
The Child and Family Study Center (CFSC) located on the east side of Main Campus and constructed in
1970, is a 4,639 ASF/7,270 GSF facility primarily used as a pre-school instructional laboratory in the Early
Childhood Education program. The infant and toddler program is located in the Home Economics
building, west of the CFSC. It is desirable to combine both of these functions in the Home Economics
building to maximize building and operational efficiencies and minimize duplication of services.
Student Health Services is located in the Student Health Center on North Campus. This facility, circa
1957, consists of 8,005 ASF/11,572 GSF of examination, laboratory and office space. This building was
originally constructed as a health care facility for the city of Menomonie. Through acquisition, it became
the Student Health Center for UW-Stout. Although the allocation of space seems appropriate for its
function, the condition and location of the building is a concern. The building is over fifty years old and its
infrastructure requires much maintenance. Its location on North Campus makes it very inconvenient for

Main Campus residents (all freshmen and many sophomores). Its relocation to the Sports and Fitness
Center on Main Campus accomplishes two issues. First, it will provide easier and more convenient
access for residents on Main Campus who are the primary users of the center. Secondly, it will foster the
promotion of a Wellness Center at UW-Stout.
In addition to these relocations, new academic programs will be incorporated in existing academic areas
(reference Background Section E. Program Trends). It is anticipated that these programs will not require
additional square feet.

While development of the Campus Master Plan continues, with an anticipated completion in fall 2008,
much of its preliminary findings and direction is reflected in the Origin-Destination planning. Two existing
buildings, Vocational Rehabilitation and Communication Technologies, are older, second-use facilities.
The Campus Master Plan has proposed that these two buildings be vacated and demolished. The
departments and programs will be relocated to other buildings, possibly a new academic building. Further
investigation is required as to what departments and programs would be best suited for relocation in a
new academic building.

FACILITIES SUMMARY
The UW-Stout campus consists of 1,408,584 ASF/2,081,772 NSF in sixty (60) academic, administrative and
residential buildings. Total gross square feet (GSF) equates to 2,524,599 GSF.
Buildings envelope systems on campus have many buildings with window systems of single panel, inoperable,
and need of renovation. Window curtain walls have improper installation which leak and have no ability to get
repaired or parts as the manufacture is out of business. Windows having insulated glazing have non thermo
break in the metal frames provide a constant condensation issue. Masonry screen walls leak with failing
masonry joints, broken bricks, missing caulking, failed vinyl flashing at lintels or base flashing. Roofing
membranes (both EPDM and Built-up) and parapet wall flashing leaking. Hollow metal doors and frames are
failing from corrosion. Foundations have moisture issues with failed water proofing or a lack of water proofing
with a high ground water table on campus. Metal curtain wall leaking and rusting panels completed through.
Older buildings do not have energy efficient designed HVAC systems. The majority of our systems are constant
air flow systems with pneumatic controls. Pneumatic controls are the majority type used in monitoring our
facilities which provides limited information and limited adjustment ability. None uniform heat/cooling through
out the facilities producing overheated spaces and under heated locations with in the facilities. Mold and poor
air quality complaints are a constant in are older buildings. A few facilities have fiber board ductwork mains
which have failed, providing ventilation to the intestinal spaces verses the finished spaces. The HVAC system
valves are unable to move or break off in the open position, prohibiting the ability to isolate, adjust and repair
the system. HVAC piping system has continual water hammering, failures (rotting piping), plugged coils, blown
diaphragms, and failed heat wheels. Several air handling units throughout campus have limited to no access
ability to clean and service the existing coils, causing inefficient operations and premature failure of the coils.
Cooling for the electronic equipment for the telecommunication systems in Millennium Hall are at capacity and
unable to provide emergency back up for the campus information technology’s electronic equipment.
Plumbing systems throughout campus have plumbing failures in the original piping materials used in our
facilities; galvanized drain waste lines, drinking fountains, building isolation valves are nonfunctional, shower
floor drains and lead safings leak. Existing wall hung configurations require completed replacement to match
replacement toilet requirements. The majority of our roofing drainage systems are unable to meet the storm
water management requirements as they currently drain into the city’s storm mains. Pool drain water is
discharge noncompliant with current WDNR requirements. Existing piping systems for the pool are failing due
to rotting piping and valving which is inoperable. The discharge is currently draining chlorinated water into the
storm mains.
Non ADA compliant restrooms are in several facilities through out campus. Asbestos containing materials are a
constant impediment in conducting maintenance activities on campus. Existing piping chases are full of ACM
materials and have limited space to work in. VAT tile wear surface has worn off in a majority of offices
producing dust within the space. Fire stopping installations, a Life safety code, is non existent in all but Red
Cedar Residence Hall on our campus.
Building electrical distribution panels are at capacity within the facilities. Emergency generators and their
distribution panels have both life safety and non life safety circuitry on the same panels and switches.
Generators are obsolete and replacement parts are impossible to obtain. Millennium halls generator is
undersized to provide emergency backup when required for the information technology equipment. Field
lighting systems around campus are non efficient with 1000W metal halide lamps and 1500 W quartz lamps.
Site lighting for the campus has non efficient lighting. The UPS systems are at capacity for the
telecommunication equipment and need replacement for the heating plant as the system has met its
recommended life capacity.
Telecommunication closets throughout campus are undersized and have no ventilation serving these rooms or
are sharing square footage with janitorial closets, mechanical spaces or electrical rooms. Cabling has been
installed free form across ceilings with unlabeled and abandoned cable in place.

The athletic fields have improper grading and drainage issues. Sports and Fitness gym bleachers have
constant repair and failing electrical components to them. The bleachers do not provide any ADA seating
ability.
Parking lots do not to meet WDNR storm water management requirements. Grading and drainage changes are
needed to meet the requirement.
BUILDING SUMMARY
Approximately 64% of building space was constructed in the 25-year time period of 1951-1975. This is a result
of the aggressive construction program initiated by the state to address space deficiencies at its universities.
These buildings are now all of an age and condition which warrants major renovation and/or replacement.
Building infrastructure systems, such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical, are deteriorating due to failing and
obsolete parts. Maintenance is more difficult and requires more time.
Building functionality on the UW-Stout campus varies depending on the age, condition and use. For example,
the Vocational Rehabilitation building was originally designed and constructed as a library in 1954. It is now
used as an academic building housing classrooms, laboratories and offices. This building is showing signs of
system infrastructure fatigue due to its 54 years of age and the inherent inefficiencies of its repurposing as an
academic building. The Communication Technologies building, constructed in 1959 suffers the same fate. It
was originally designed and constructed as a student union.
Harvey Hall is now 92 years old. No major renovation or remodel has ever been performed on this building.
While it somewhat works as a classroom and office building, its system infrastructure and original design result
in a very inefficient building in regards to configuration, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, ADA
accessibility and life safety.
The Sports and Fitness Center, in addition to the outdoor fields, is in heavy use. The increasing popularity of
intramurals and recreational programs have resulted in a high demand of indoor and outdoor facilities.

Scheduling these facilities for intramural, recreation and athletic use is difficult. In addition, Menomonie High
School uses campus facilities such as Williams Stadium for their football games.
UW-Stout is also addressing the same needs in its residence halls. Most were built in the 1960’s and were
constructed with little flexibility to accommodate the needs of today’s students. Paramount to resident concerns
are power and telecommunications.
With the implementation of the e-Scholar (laptop) program, the campus has committed resources for providing
technology-enabled facilities. However, this is difficult, and costly, to do in many buildings due to their age and
lack of space for telecommunication closets. Harvey Hall is a prime example.
Many interior walls in campus buildings are of masonry construction. This provides little flexibility and costly and
time consuming reconfigurations of space.

Firm Capacity is the maximum steam output with the largest boiler out of service.
Maximum Demand for Electrical Utility is based on monthly utility bills.
Chilled water fields only apply to central and district systems. Individual building chillers are not included in these values.
Campus steam distribution is high pressure steam to each building where it is reduced to medium and /or low
pressure. The overall system is in satisfactory condition. A restriction of a bottleneck (reduced pipe) size
prohibits the ability to provide the required steam capacity to the north campus. The steam distribution lacks the
ability to redirect steam to provide a back up feed largest complex on campus; Jarvis Addition, Jarvis Science,
Jarvis Technology, Micheels Hall and Applied Arts buildings.
Campus primary electrical system is 4160V network of 5KV feeder cables which serve each campus building
from two line-ups of switchgear located adjacent to the heating plant. The substation contains to 5MVA,
15V/5KV transformers served from separate distribution feeders. There is a tie circuit breaker between the east
and west switch gear line-ups. The currently load balance is approximately 35% of the load on the east bank or
transformer #2 , and approximately 65% of the load on the west bank, or transformer #1. The critical time for
the electrical use is in May and September when the students are on campus and hot temperature spells are
common. Metering components are burned out, switches with inoperable indicator signals verifying that the
switches are locked into place. The substation due is nearing capacity and will lose the ability to operate on one
distribution bank through the tie breaker.
The central chiller water distribution system consists of three 800 Ton chillers which serve nine buildings. The
central chiller water system is in excellent condition. The campus chilled water system has ten buildings which
have stand alone chillers. These buildings have chillers, towers and associated pumps and controls have high
energy usage, high chemical usage, scaling issues and plugged coils and tower corrosion failures. The stand
alone chillers are in poor condition.
City of Menomonie provides local utilities of water, sanitary, storm water to the campus. Campus is responsible
for the management of the storm water laterals which serve each facility throughout the campus and connect to
the Cities mains. Space limitations and the existing parking lot grading designs are the main obstacles to
accomplishing the storm water management requirements. The system is in satisfactory condition.
The campus signal system has a fiber optic backbone extending from the head–end equipment located in
Millennium Hall through the campus distribution signal system into each building. The fiber back bone
installation started in 1993. The system is in good working condition.
The campus has a central 120v clock system serving the entire campus from the General Services building.
This system was installed in 1975. The system is in poor working condition.
The campus building automation system (BAS) is a Johnson Controls building automation system consisting of
several generations of legacy DDC equipment. The second generation legacy DDC equipment is no longer
supported and parts are only available through dealers that sell used equipment. The first generation DDC
legacy supervisory control equipment is being phased out by the manufacturer and utilizes outdated Arcnet
communication technology. The system is in poor condition. The central chilled water distribution plant,

City of Menomonie provides local utilities of water, sanitary and storm water to the campus. Campus is
responsible for the management of the storm water laterals which serve each facility throughout the campus
and connect to the city’s mains. Space limitations and the existing parking lot grading designs are the main
obstacles to accomplishing the storm water management requirements. The system is in satisfactory condition.
Xcel energy provides gas distribution throughout campus. Local telephone is provides by AT&T and cable TV is
provided by Charter Communications.
The following lists utility type projects planned on campus.

A building automation system (BAS) upgrade project would replace the existing Johnson Controls first
generation application specific DDC controllers that are controlling existing air handling units. Other
mechanical equipment will remain in place and be integrated into the new BAS. The existing Johnson
Controls second generation Field Processing Unit (FPU) equipment controlling mechanical equipment
will be replaced.

The campus electrical substation upgrade project will replace the 1964 campus 5KV primary electrical
service. Two 5 MVA, 13.3 – 4.16 KV utility owned transformers will be replaced by two 7.5/10.5 state
owned units. Two line-ups of metal clad switchgear with bus tie will also be replaced. Each line up will
include compartments for one main, one tie and seven feeder draw-out air magnetic vacuum circuit
breakers along with AC power transformers/panel, DC control power supply and metering. The
existing capacitor bank transclosure will also be replaced.

The east side steam loop extension project is steam/condensate duct bank installation between pit
#19 at the NE corner of the Robert S. Swanson Learning Center and pit #7 west of the Jarvis Hall
Science Wing will provide a secondary feed to serve the southeast quadrant of campus.

Phase II of the central chilled water project will extend the central chilled water piping distribution
system to Vocational Rehabilitation, Harvey Hall, Fryklund Hall, Memorial Student Center, Merle M.
Price Commons and McCalmont Hall and remove the building specific chillers.

Phase III of the central chilled water project distribution will connect Sports and Fitness Center and
Millennium Hall to complete the central chilled water project.
Recently completed projects include construction of the central chiller water plant inside to the Heating Plant
along with Phase I of the piping system. Phase I was completed in 2007 and included connections to
Administration, Bowman Hall, Communication Technologies, Robert S. Swanson Learning Center, Home
Economics, Jarvis Hall Science Wing, Jarvis Hall Technology Wing, Micheels Hall and Applied Arts. A primary
electric upgrade project, serving Harvey Hall was completed in 2006. A 9,000 PPH gas/oil boiler (#1) in the
heating plant was replaced with a 25,000 PPH boiler in 2006.
