Why do we need a master plan?

• To plan for growth such that every dollar spent
  improving the physical campus supports the
  institutions mission

  future
• To raise our aspirations
• To raise money

3
What will we be looking at?

• Buildings
• Open Space
• Transportation
• Utilities
• FOR ALL THESE AREAS WE WILL
• Analyze existing components
• Develop guidelines for the future
• Address sustainability

4
What should the outcomes be?

• A guide for existing and new facilities within
  our boundaries
• A better connected campus
• Better connections to the community
• Stronger campus identity
• Preservation of open space
• A more sustainable campus
• Enhancement of the Wisconsin Idea
• A successful transportation system

Epoch I The Setting is Established
Pre-history through 1836

• Period of vast environmental changes that altered
  the landscape
• Pre-Glacial Period submerged in water smoothing
  action across the land
• Creation of the isthmus and other terrain by
  glacial movement
• Deposition of debris to form the hills and
  sculpting of landscape to form lakes
• Paleo-Indian migration following the glacial
  recession
• Recognition of the importance of the location
  with effigy mounds
• Periodic burning helped maintain the balance of
  ecosystem

13
Epoch II Early Foundations on the Hill
(1836-1866)
1851

• European settlement changed landscape
• Madison was selected as location of the state
  university
• In 1856, Madison became a city (pop. 6,864)
• College Hill recognized as the most appropriate
  location for University Hall visual connection
  between the University and the State Capitol
  established
• The academic village/college established on the
  hill core departments co-located with faculty
  and student residences
• Sinuous strolling paths, heavy vegetation and
  reverence for the lake

14
Epoch III Land Grant Status Established
(1867-1874)
1870

• Morrill Land Grant enacted in 1862, providing a
  new focus and revenue stream for the school
• Westward expansion of campus by 200 acres
• Major shift in landscape as fields were cleared
  and trees planted for screening
• Development of Ladies Hall, armory/gymnasium, and
  Observatory Hill

15
Epoch IV Shift from a College to a Modern
University (1875-1940)
1890

• Buildings were planned and designed to fit
  immediate needs departure from academic
  village concept (1884)
• Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association is
  created
• Construction of facilities for Engineering Dept.
  and Medical School
• 1908 Plan by Peabody, Laird Cret influenced by
  the City Beautiful Movement

Epoch V Post-War Growth (1941-1996)
1940

• Road network expanded to arterial system
• Expansion of student housing and infill
  development at the expense of open space (Muir
  Woods) and historic buildings
• West Campus expansion with hospital and clinics
  development of housing in Eagle Heights
• 1959 Sketch Plan called for expansion south of
  University Ave
• Major expansion of classroom and research
  facilities in 1960s with more than 50 buildings
  constructed in the decade
• City of Madisons redevelopment of State Street
  in the 1970s

19
Epoch VI Reinventing Ourselves in Place (1997-)
1990

• Road network expanded to arterial system
• Expansion of student housing and infill
  development at the expense of open space (Muir
  Woods) and historic buildings
• West Campus expansion with hospital and clinics
  development of housing in Eagle Heights
• 1959 Sketch Plan called for expansion south of
  University Ave

Observations Summary This campus has a
powerful setting and heritage that is now
sometimes hard to see. The prominence of these
features can be renewed. There is important and
prestigious teaching, research, and outreach
going on in these buildings and grounds. To
continue to thrive, facilities must be
periodically retooled to reflect the current
needs. The post war rapid growth on campus has
left us with many outmoded facilities--built for
special uses, with an extreme emphasis on economy
of construction rather than flexibility. The
campus is not well connected physically. No
significant boundary growth is anticipated.
THEREFORE, we need to reinvent ourselves in
place.
