Presentation Notes
Master planning at the University of Iowa goes back to the late 19th and early 20th century. The first formal master plan was developed in 1905. Recently, there has been a series of campus plans that began in 1972, and which have been updated in 1978, 1990, 1995, and most recently in 1998. This presentation is a DRAFT of the 2006 Update for the Board’s information and comments. This master plan is both an update that builds upon these past efforts AND a fresh, comprehensive look at the Campus Plan. It needs to be a fresh look because we are entering a new period in which land is increasingly scarce, the campus is increasingly urban and, as is true with all of your institutions, expansion of the physical plant will continue for some time into the future. This master plan is the product of an inclusive process that has evolved with a broad spectrum of campus leaders, including all of the deans, representatives of all campus constituencies, and representatives of Iowa City and Coralville. During 2005 and 2006, over 100 meetings were held with campus groups to communicate and work together on questions of physical planning.

Warren Grant saw popularity and lack of eastward land would require a future westward plan - $110,000 bought considerable farmland W. of the River. 1912 Olmstead plan.

Why have a campus master plan?• An essential tool for physical design decisions
• To respond to impending change
• To establish a basis for funding requests
• Board of Regent mandate
• To establish a vision for the future

Campus development issues since 1998
• Creation of the College of Public Health
• 14 new structures completed
• Increased student expectations learning/living amenities
• 54% increase in sponsored research
• 140,000 additional annual UIHC patient visits (24% increase)
• Completion of UIHCsite build-out

Main messages of the Campus Master Plan
• Reflect institutional excellence and heritage
• Plan for long-term programmatic growth
• Renew existing facilities
• Promote a pedestrian environment
• Partner with surrounding communities
• Protect and celebrate campus green spaces
• Celebrate the Iowa River

Presentation Notes
The land area addressed in the plan includes the 1,400 acres of the Iowa City campus extending from the East Campus to the Hawkeye Campus west of Mormon Trek Boulevard, and the 330 acres of the Oakdale Campus in Coralville. Out of meetings held with campus constituents, there emerged a picture of Today’s Planning Needs;

Long-term development opportunity sites
Presenter
Presentation Notes
3.In addition to the renewal plan and the land use district revision, it is recommended that a strategy of selective infill of new facilities be adopted. This plan identifies 32 future opportunity sites for new facilities on the existing East and West Campuses. It is recommended that each site be optimized through careful planning and building at appropriate densities of 4-5 stories. The combined capacity of these sites is about 4.25 million GSF. It is not my intent to go through each of these sites with you now, but I might point out several projects that are in the foreground of current planning; these include: The 215,000 GSF Campus Recreation & Wellness Center at Madison and Burlington The International Center site for the COPH Building presently in design A site northwest of the University Hospital identified preliminarily by the hospital master planning team as the preferred direction for Hospital growth And the Seashore Hall Block, where the plan is to both renovate and expand the existing building. Capacity studies have been done for several of the 32 sites; and, to give you an example of the level of planning that is being done, I can briefly show you the study for the Seashore Hall Block:

Presentation Notes
To protect and improve this important parkland in the heart of the University, it is recommended that River Park be planned and enhanced as a positive element emphasizing continuity of natural scenery and pedestrian access.
