3 Project Background and Purpose The purpose of this project is to complete a low-level of pre-design for two new construction projects and one renovation project on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus. These projects, as identified in the University s Comprehensive Campus Master Plan (CCMP) are: - New Academic Office and Classroom Building (approximately 120,000 GSF) to support the College of Liberal Arts and Education (College of LAE). - Engineering Hall Additions (two additions totaling approximately 170,000 GSF) to support the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Science (College of EMS). - Ottensman Hall complete renovation and repurposing (1966 Const.,168,829 GSF) to support the programmatic needs of the University, including academics and student support services. This project shall also evaluate and determine a location for the University s Data Center, based the low-level pre-design of the three projects identified above, and the Data Center Study completed in 2012 (DFD #11E2F). The CCMP (DFD #10F1F) completed in December 2011 was informed by the Campus Space Utilization Study (DFD #08J2K) completed in The CCMP identified the need for a 120,000 GSF academic office building, and two Engineering Hall additions totaling 170,000 GSF to be constructed as part of Phase 1 Master Plan Implementation ( ). Phase 2 Implementation ( ) identifies renovation and reprogramming of Ottensman Hall 168,829 GSF. The Space Utilization Study, the CCMP, Data Center Study, Origin-Destination Matrix and supporting documentation are publically accessible at The University of Wisconsin Platteville is the fastest growing campus in the University of Wisconsin System. UW-Platteville s on-campus student headcount enrollment has increased 48% from 1999 to Fall 2011 total enrollment was 7,504 and the campus is committed to incrementally increasing this number to 10,000 FTE by Fall UW-Platteville s enrollment is growing based on the Tri-State Initiative, Education Attainment Strategies under the UW System Growth Agenda, and Programs of Distinction. UW-Platteville s Strategic Planning goals are: Targeted enrollment growth: Tri-State Initiative /State Growth Agenda 2010 enrollment of 7, enrollment of 8, enrollment of 10,011 Growth in majors occurs across all colleges (from Fall 2010 to Fall 2025) College of Engineering Mathematics and Science, from 2,489 to 3,489 College of Business, Industry, Life Sciences and Agriculture, from 2,470 to 3,462 College of Liberal and Education, from 2,183 to 3,060 Growth in continuing education / distance learning: increase from 2,500 to 4,250 off-campus Increased on-campus student housing to serve 50% resident student population Growth in student diversity: Female student enrollment 45% target International students 15% target Campus Academic Priorities are: Increasing retention and graduation rates for all students and eliminating the achievement gap Increasing student engagement Becoming more diverse as an institution 2

4 Providing hands-on education Expanding undergraduate research Strengthening academic planning Connecting faculty with external partners industry, government and non-profits Project Description This project will complete a low-level of pre-design for an approximately 120,000 GSF, three or four floor academic office and classroom building, two additions totaling approximately 170,000 GSF to Engineering Hall (existing 108,500 GSF, constructed 2009), and renovation of Ottensman Hall (168,829 GSF, constructed 1966) on the UW-Platteville campus. DSF#10F1F Comprehensive Campus Master Plan (CCMP) and DSF #08J2K Space Utilization Study should be used as the starting point for pre-design efforts. The CCMP has determined the new construction and renovation of space is needed, and indicates those programs to be located within the new space. The first priorities of this pre-design project will be 1) Reviewing the campus s classroom and computer lab inventory, identify any excess classrooms and computer labs, note which of these spaces do not lend themselves to repurposing, then make recommendations for repurposing any excess classrooms and computer labs to help solve space shortages. 2) This project shall next review faculty office space shortages, including qualitative and quantitative issues and office space standards, and make recommendations to help resolve these shortages. These recommendations shall propose general principle alternatives to traditional office space, particularly office space that supports adjunct faculty or part time staff, and recommendations on how offices are grouped, such as in pods or learning communities. This will support the campus in solving space problems that may be encountered prior to the proposed Academic Building, Engineering Hall Additions, and Ottensman Hall Renovation being designed and constructed. 3) Review space needs of the growing UW-Platteville Distance Learning Center, and make recommendations to resolve these space needs. 4) Review space assessment and master planning work and verify the quantitative space need projections for the proposed new Academic Office and Classroom Building, Additions for Engineering Hall, and Ottensman Hall Renovation. This pre-design project will next review existing campus space allocations for the University including, but not limited to the College of Liberal Arts and Education, the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Science, the College of Business, Industry, Life Science and Agriculture, the School of Graduate Studies, Student Affairs, and Administrative Services. This project will make recommendations for programmatic relocations based on existing space, proposed future space needs and construction, and desired adjacencies. This project shall evaluate and determine a location for the University s Data Center. The project will also develop a rendering of the proposed new building, the two additions to Engineering Hall, and the renovated Ottensman Hall. The departments and programs to be housed in the academic office and classroom building are referenced in CCMP 2011 Supplemental Information, Section 8 Pg SI-198. An overview of space needs is referenced in Section 8, Pgs through Ottensman Hall Facility Evaluation for Renovation and Reuse is located within the CCMP Section 6 Supplemental Information. 3

The documentation that the consultant produces will be used by the University to document the project scope (program, concept, budget and schedule), thus competing the low-level of pre-design as defined in this project. The documentation resulting from the low-level of pre-design will be used by the University to seek additional project funding. After funding is obtained, the low-level of predesign will be used as a starting point for a full pre-design project, leading to the design and eventual construction of the project. The lower-level of pre-design defined in this project may also be used to identify other projects that could be affected by this project. A/E Requirements: Consultants should have specific expertise and experience in the predesign, programming and coordination of academic office, classroom and laboratory buildings for a four-year college or university, including institutional construction and infrastructure (architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, and audio-visual technologies). Specialized expertise in academic office, classroom and laboratory building programming is required. The consultant should have expertise in working with a diverse constituency in a highly interactive process. Client group will include a Core Team (with DFD as 6

8 PM, and UWSA and UW-Platteville participants) and a Building Committee (a group that includes the Core Team and broad campus representation). Confirm fit within 2011 Campus Comprehensive Master Plan, noting potential modifications that may be necessary. Develop a program statement, including space tabulations, space use relationship or adjacency diagrams. Prepare a site analysis of the proposed building sites as identified in the CCMP document, and develop a recommended conceptual site plans. Evaluate access, possible connection to and functional adjacency from proposed New Academic Office and Classroom Building to existing Karrmann Library. Include all parking, vehicular access and pedestrian access necessary to serve the proposed new buildings and renovation. The proposed New Office and Classroom Building site has a slope grade, and the campus wishes explore the feasibility of underground parking based on the grade of the site and potential cost implications. Develop renderings of the proposed buildings to be used by the University in fund-raising efforts. Working with information provided by the institution and/or local utilities, conduct an analysis of utilities necessary to serve this project. The analysis should include line and system capacity of existing utilities, location of existing utilities, and extensions to and upgrades of existing utilities necessary to serve this project. Provide a recommendation of utility routing to serve this project. Working with information in this document, the Design Committee, and the Core Team, identify and document any special design issues that will impact the design, budget, schedule, or approval of this project, and provide recommendations that address these issues. Provide a functional analysis of building program components, develop alternative concept designs, and select a design option that best meets the needs of this project. The concept design should include floor plans of functional components and massing diagrams. Assess options for first floor of the academic office and classroom building to support mixed use such as retail or coffee shop/food service to activate the corner of Pine and Hickory. Develop a project schedule that is based on the design and program information, and information provided by the user group and DFD. Develop a project budget estimate that includes construction costs and related project costs as determined by the Core Team and DFD. Provide benchmark data and/or other data that supports the recommended budget estimate. Provide the summary estimate in a UW Project Budget Worksheet (PBW) electronic spreadsheet format. Using DFD sustainability guidelines, work with users to develop a list of sustainable design practices that are appropriate for further analysis and development during design and implementation of this project. 7
