EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Introduction
In April of 2013, the University of Wisconsin-Richland commissioned Strang, Inc. to perform a longrange Facilities Master Plan encompassing their campus. This work included an existing building
condition report for each building, facility maintenance planning, programming of needs, and master
planning of the campus to define a 10 year development plan and beyond. The purpose of the Facilities
Master Plan is to help effectively guide the University of Wisconsin-Richland in updating, maintaining
and proactively planning for the infrastructure needed to support the university’s mission, vision, and
strategic goals.
This master plan was prepared by the architects and engineers at Strang, Inc. in collaboration with SAA
Design Group, a planning, landscape architecture and civil engineering firm. Essential input and
guidance was provided throughout the development of this report by the UW-Richland Steering
Committee consisting of the following representatives:

B. Background
The University of Wisconsin-Richland is a two year institution in Richland County in Wisconsin and as
one of 13 Colleges in the UW Colleges is a component of the University of Wisconsin System. The
campus lies on the northeast side of the City of Richland Center. The University of Wisconsin-Richland
is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools (NCA).
The University of Wisconsin-Richland campus is located on approximately 135 acres of partially
wooded rolling prairie. UW-Richland offers courses to begin any of more than 200 majors. Many UW–
Richland students mark completion of the first half of a bachelor’s degree by earning the Associate of
Arts and Science degree and use the Guaranteed Transfer Program, under which students are
guaranteed admission to a four-year University of Wisconsin System campus of their choice if they
meet certain academic requirements. The college serves approximately 280 full-time and 250 part-time
students annually.
C. UW-Richland’s Facilities Master Plan Guiding Principles
The facilities master plan must first and foremost support and extend the mission, values and vision of
The University of Wisconsin-Richland. The goal of the university is to empower the students and enrich
the community. The University of Wisconsin-Richland is a valued and integral partner within the
Richland Center community. During the Master Planning process, the Steering Committee established
the following list of Guiding Principles that shaped the creation and execution of the Facilities Master
Plan:

D. Notes on the Master Planning Process
Strang/ SAA incorporated a Mine/ Define/ Align/ Design approach to master planning as outlined below
in Figure 1.1. This collaborative approach provided ample opportunity to listen to current stakeholders,
explore multiple options, and arrive at a master plan solution that not only accommodates the needs of
students and staff, but builds in flexibility to deal with the uncertainty of future economic, technological
and demographic conditions.
Figure 1.1 Strang’s Facilities Master Planning Approach
E.
Mine Phase (Info Gathering) Summary
Following an initial organizational meeting to develop the master planning work plan and schedule,
Strang/SAA conducted a series of data gathering tasks to familiarize themselves with the university. A
team of architects, engineers and planners were sent to conduct site observations to photograph, and
complete building condition evaluations of each UW-Richland building. The team documented existing
conditions related to the site and buildings including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. They also
reviewed drawings and recently conducted facilities studies and reports provided by UW-Richland which
included:

2012-2017 UW-Richland Strategic Plan

UW-Richland Health and Safety Compliance

2011 UW-Richland Capital Facilities Planning

2002 UW-Richland Student Center Fine Arts Building Expansion Project

2012- 2013 UW-Richland Technology Plan

Coppertop Rigging Report and several documents pertaining to solar studies
See appendices C and D for owner provided data.
The listening phase also included a review of UW-Richland’s academic plan as well as demographic
information relating to UW-Richland’s service area. Surveys were sent electronically to each primary
instructional and administrative department within the University, followed by a day of on-site interviews
involving 10 stakeholder groups representing a cross-section of students, faculty, community
representatives, administrative staff and others. See appendix A for stakeholder comments.
Finally, a Steering Committee workshop was conducted to share the highlights from the stakeholder
interviews. See appendix “B” for copies of meeting minutes from each workshop.
F.
Define Phase (Programming) Summary
The Listening phase provided a foundation of information which formed the basis for further analytical
exploration. During the discovery phase, the Strang/SAA team built upon this foundation to evaluate
multiple ways to achieve UW-Richland’s objectives ultimately leading toward the discovery of the most
ideal master planning solution. Facility programming was the first step in discovery. The facility
programming process is an essential diagnostic step in identifying and analyzing information that will
influence the facilities design options. Figure 1.2 presents Strang’s facility programming approach.
The facility program describes the University’s priorities for the future and illustrates options related to
those priorities. Throughout the course of this exercise, Strang/SAA’s integrated team of architects,
engineers and planners carefully identified, evaluated and weighed qualitative, operational and
quantitative data. Based on this information, the team developed a comprehensive facility program that
outlines options and makes recommendations. See Chapter 2 for detailed program data.
A building condition report and long-range infrastructure maintenance plan was also developed utilizing
data collected from on-site evaluations and discussions with facilities staff. The maintenance plan
identifies required improvements necessary for the long-term utilization of existing facilities and
organizes the improvements into logical projects which can be budgeted on an annual basis over a ten
year period. Recommended improvements include items for general aesthetics, maintenance issues to
maintain a weather-tight building envelope, and several upgrades aimed at improved energy efficiency
and reduced operations costs. See Chapter 4 for the detailed building condition report and
infrastructure improvement plan.
Figure 1.2 Strang’s Facility Programming Approach
G. Align and Design Phase Summary
With the program information in place, the Master Planning process progressed to its final two steps,
the Align and Design Phases in which through a series of Steering Committee workshops, the master
plan took graphic form. At a site specific scale, the Master Plan examines how each building functions
and its relationship with the rest of the campus. The Master Plan addresses campus identity, student
experience, sustainable practices and potential locations for future expansion and development. In
summary, the Master Plan is composed of two components: remodeling of the existing buildings to
enhance existing departments and construction of new buildings. See Chapter 3 for detailed
representations of suggested remodeling and new construction along with the associated phasing
approach.
H. Recommendations
Although many options were explored that met the defined program requirements, the recommended
master plan shown in Chapter 3 was found to be the most advantageous to UW-Richland’s ultimate
success for the following reasons:
Optimized adjacencies and operational efficiencies within the facilities
Improved accessibility, public wayfinding and amenities
Ability to integrate modern building systems and technologies
Improved long-term economics
Ability to expand & accommodate future growth needs
Create a unified “front door” to the campus
I. Conceptual Budget
To define total project development costs, many non-construction expenses must be considered to
establish reasonable budgets that can be used for planning purposes. Keep in mind that these costs are
merely budgets and can vary considerably depending upon UW-Richland’s ultimate choices and current
market conditions. The cost estimates discussed in this report are in 2013 dollars and should be
adjusted to account for inflation and changes to construction material and labor costs in the local market
at the time each project is to be constructed. Nevertheless, they are valuable benchmarks to gauge
anticipated costs and to facilitate further discussions concerning funding options. Figures 1.3 provides
an overview of budgetary costs for various work identified in the Master Plan. See Chapter 3 for
detailed cost itemization of campus capital projects and long-term maintenance/infrastructure
improvements.

Phasing/Implementation Plan
The 10 year maintenance/infrastructure improvement recommendations found in Chapter 4 identify
ongoing maintenance and infrastructure improvement projects that are intended to be budgeted and
paid for out of UW-Richland’s annual facilities budget allocations. The plan allows costs to be spread
out over a ten year period and prioritized based upon urgency.
All capital improvement projects identified in the Master Plan will require additional funding. The Master
Plan provides a basis for discussions offering statistics relating to need, cost and community benefits.
By following through on the recommendations found in this Master Plan, the University of WisconsinRichland will be able to enhance student success and provide 21st century education for the foreseeable
future.
Section Two:
Program Summary
PROGRAM DATA 2.1
2. PROGRAM SUMMARY
A. Introduction
The first step of our programming exercise involved gathering extensive information about UWRichland, your staff and your educational priorities utilizing the data gathering tools found in Appendix
A. Strang reviewed information that the campus provided as part of this programming exercise including
existing building floor plan layouts, organizational charts and facility statistics (See Appendix C for this
data). We also gained insights from surveys and group conversations; these discussions revealed
important insights from the individuals who have hands-on knowledge of the campus’s intricacies.
B. Qualitative Summary
Based upon the information gained through these efforts, priority surveys, tours of your facilities and
visioning workshops, we developed an in-depth understanding of your qualitative preferences.
Physical Environment/ Safety is an important priority for the campus, especially in the parking lots and
outside the buildings. Temperature control, cleanliness and air quality is also important to the faculty
and staff of UW-Richland.
Amenities/ Much like the kitchen is often the social hub of a family home, food service amenities is very
crucial to the social culture at UW-Richland. Other amenities that the campus deems as important
include fitness and informational amenities.
Efficiency / We discovered that student workflow and expandability is very important to the campus.
More efficient and flexible classroom arrangements are also needed.
Value / Quality of the built environment and value was defined as a significant consideration for your
programming effort, while being sensitive to tax dollars in terms of materials and building system
selections. It is important to consider both short-term and long-term costs in relation to durability and
maintainability, work efficiency, educational benefit and especially energy efficiency.
Image / The campus must form a positive initial impression on the students and the public, and will
assist in communicating UW-Richland’s values. Building forms, furniture and colors should be used to
inspire emotions and associations and reflect a campus vision. Design concepts must complement the
nature of the mission, underscore the culture and reinforce the message.
Sustainability / Sustainability in terms of reduced impact on the environment, daylighting and exterior
views, energy efficiency, maintainability and a healthy indoor environment were identified as very
important programming considerations. Demonstrating leadership in sustainable environmental issues
and incorporating practical sustainable features into the facilities to create an interpretive learning
environment is also a priority. This could be done by introducing energy saving systems like geothermal, solar, and heating by burning biomass, like wood chips.
Accommodating Diversity/ UW-Richland has a strong international program that may be developed
even further in the future. Because of this, any changes the campus makes should keep these students
in mind.
PROGRAM DATA 2.2
Educational Environment / The educational environments need to be healthy, comfortable and
efficient. In addition, they should inspire and motivate. Our programming indicates that the learning
environments should be flexible to incorporate many pedagogies including active learning.
Technology/ As technology changes so do higher educational institutions. There is an increasing
desire among students to have access to wireless technologies and to be able to remote into the
campus while they are off campus. UW-Richland has some great technology already on campus, and
desires it to be accessible and used by as many students as possible.
Collaboration/ UW-Richland’s building program should support collaboration and conferencing while
maintaining privacy and reducing interruptions. The campus wants to incorporate café setting and some
casual breakout areas. It is important that the buildings facilitate interaction with the surrounding
communities and educational partners.
C. QUANTITATIVE PROGRAM DATA
Introduction
The quantitative program data translates the qualitative and operational findings from the previous
sections into specific quantities. In turn, these quantities establish the ideal size for the facility. Data
gathering tools included:
⁄
⁄
⁄
⁄
Staff interviews
Questionnaires and surveys
Inventories of existing space
Benchmarking data
Several qualitative issues that were identified have a direct impact on project size. For instance, the
University’s desire for classroom flexibility suggests room sizes that are standardized and slightly larger,
however with higher utilization ratios, total square footage can actually be reduced. The ideal facility
design would have higher utilization through multi-use spaces. The end result would be a very efficient
and functional facility with a minimum of underutilized space.
The information gathered from all of the above sources is synthesized in Appendix A of this report.
UW-Richland does not see its student enrolment increasing over the next 10 years. A study of the
existing room usage was done (See Figure 2.1) and determined that the campus currently uses about
160 of its 280 available weekly classroom hours for its traditional classrooms. This total was calculated
by the total number of rooms seven (7) multiplied by 40 hours. Assuming that each classroom can be
used from 8:00am until noon and then again from 1:00pm until 5:00pm, five (5) days per week.
Because the campus has so many available classroom hours and it has many small classroom spaces
that only work for a few select classes, the Master Plan is recommending consolidating and shifting
classrooms to provide for larger and more flexible classroom spaces. This will result in a net loss of one
(1) classroom. This will bring the total number of weekly classroom hours down from 280 to 240 hours.
PROGRAM DATA 2.3
This move will still provide for nearly 80 class hours per week that are not used and will provide the
campus with more flexible and usable classrooms.

D. Operational Summary
Introduction
A key objective of the facility programming effort is to determine the operational requirements, including
workflow and physical adjacencies. Programming also reveals how departments work together.
Operational elements of the program include:
⁄ Communication among staff
⁄ Collaboration opportunities
⁄ Workspace and classroom flexibility
⁄ Technological requirements
⁄ How students and staff work and learn on a day to day basis
Spatial Organization
During the programming effort with UW-Richland, we developed several diagrams to represent the
working relationships between different campus areas. Through discussion with various departments
the required adjacencies were established. Chapter 3 shows how these adjacencies were
accomplished in a diagrammatic floor plan layout.
Classroom Space Standards
In today’s academic setting, the physical environment should support a balance of concentration,
collaboration, mobility and flexibility. Strang carefully reviewed how the campus works and identified a
classroom space standard that would help achieve campus goals (See Figure 2.2 and 2.3). These
standard size rooms are created by transforming the four smaller classrooms on the east side of the
Classroom Building to three larger classrooms. These new classrooms can now accommodate 36
PROGRAM DATA 2.4
students in a lecture setting and 24 students in an active learning setting comfortably. This is important
because most classes on campus have the capacity to have 36 students.
Figure 2.2 -Lecture
Figure 2.3 – Active Learning
Student Center Building
Early on in the process, a new Student Center was identified as a high priority need for the campus.
This quickly rose to the top of the list for the following reasons:
x
The existing Student Center is outdated and does not help attract potential students
x
The campus lacks a signature building to act as the “entrance to the campus”
x
The existing performing arts space doesn’t have any wings, the rigging is outdated and
the fly loft is too low to function properly
x
The kitchen equipment is old and in need of replacement
x
The need for a lobby with a ticket counter and coat check which currently do not exist
x
The need for the Student Affairs and Business Services departments to be visible to
visitors
x
The desire for a student lounge/game room
x
The Student Center does not currently have a secure designated space
x
The performing arts space is currently lacking room for many back of house functions
Members of the Steering Committee and Strang worked together through a programming workshop to
develop the space needs program found in Appendix A.
The new Student Center will be the “Front Door” to the campus. It will house an updated and attractive
Commons, Kitchen, Student Activities Spaces, updated facilities for Music and Theater including the
relocation of the existing Mac Lab from the Extension Building to this facility. In order that The Student
PROGRAM DATA 2.5
Center be a truly effective “Front Door” to the campus, the project involves the relocation of Student
Affairs, Business Services, Foundation, Continuing Education and Dean’s Offices to this facility, as well
as the incorporation of a “Pippin-like” Conference/Dining room. The site plan design of the new Student
Center reinforces the “Front Door” concept by the reconfiguration of the campus entry drive, the
creation of an effective drop-off area and the placement of a pleasant south-facing patio area
immediately adjacent to the Commons.
Site
To define the ideal location for expansion on the sites, the qualitative and operational site elements
must be accounted for, as well as quantitative aspects such as number of required parking stalls and
building size.
UW-Richland’s most important site issues are student safety, adequacy of parking, connectivity
between buildings and ease of maintenance. Equally important are sustainable factors such as energy
efficiency, ample green space, protection of views and public accessibility. By utilizing the undeveloped
property south of the existing Student Center, ample land is available to accommodate the campus’s 10
year projections and those well beyond.

MASTER PLANNING 3.1
3. MASTER PLANNING
A. Introduction
The Master Plan is a tool for future planned growth and expansion of the UW-Richland campus. The
Master Plan looks at the context of the campus from a regional scale to a smaller, site specific scale;
from the existing campus to a future campus. For the future growth and expansion of the campus, we
must understand how the campus currently functions in relationship to its surroundings, what existing
relationships and opportunities can be enhanced and in what areas the campus should focus on in the
future. On the campus itself, we also explore the current circulation and campus layout and identify
areas for future growth and development.
B. Site Conditions
Every site has differing physical conditions that can support or challenge a particular development at
that location; the UW-Richland Campus is no different. The campus has a strong relationship to its
environment. Brush Creek runs through the campus which also has sections of rolling farmland and
important view sheds. Storm water management systems and outdoor educational facilities have a
strong impact on the proposed Master Plan for the campus. The building condition reports in Chapter 4
explain the current building and site conditions in more detail and offer recommendations for future
maintenance and infrastructure improvements. The Master Plan builds upon these recommendations
and incorporates many of them into the capital improvement projects that are defined.
C. Surrounding Context
The following items summarize opportunities for UW-Richland to improve connections to the
surrounding communities and establish partnerships to promote its mission.
Establish a campus core to develop a central activity hub for the entire campus
Improve the visibility and identity of UW-Richland’s vehicular and pedestrian entrances
Provide clear and attractive signage at key intersections to direct visitors to the campus
Provide alternative transportation connections to the campus
Provide connections to the High School to the northwest
D.
Master Plan Overview
The Master Planning process involves evaluating campuses on two levels: a large community scale and
a smaller, site specific scale. In the larger context, the campus has local connections with nearby high
schools, the local industry and residents. At a state level, UW-Richland has relationships with the UW
System, Central Administration and the other 13 two-year colleges under the UW Colleges system.
These adjacencies provide opportunities for shared resources between users and impact how the
Master Plan is ultimately developed.
At a site specific scale, the Master Plan examines how the site functions as a campus. The Master Plan
addresses campus identity, pedestrian experience, sustainability practices and potential locations for
new buildings on the site.
The Steering Committee evaluated multiple master planning options before arriving at the
recommended Master Plan that is presented on the following pages. Through a series of Steering
Committee workshops, each option was evaluated in terms of its ability to support student success,
MASTER PLANNING 3.2
financial feasibility and logistics in terms of phasing and construction. The master plans that follow
evolved from this sifting and winnowing of ideas to arrive at the plans most suitable for UW-Richland.
E. UW-Richland Master Plan
The Campus Master Plan as identified in Figures 3.3 through 3.4 has been organized into phases to
facilitate funding availability and build flexibility into the Master Plan. Ideally, Phases 1, 2, and 3 would
be completed at the same time as many of the moving functions depend on one another, but because
of lack of funding they could be done at separate times. Phases 3A and 3B also have functions that
coordinate with one another, so having them completed at the same time would be ideal. Phases 4 and
5 could happen down the road as they are not as pressing as the first three phases. Phase 6 can be
dispersed over the next 10 years, as many of the changes proposed in this phase correlate directly with
several of the previous phases.
Every building on campus has an issue with snow and ice sliding off of the roof. This is especially a
concern above entrances. For this reason it is recommended that a fixed canopy be built at each of the
campus building entrances as each facility is remodeled.
Phase 1 Summary of Work
Phase 1: Classroom Building Remodel
Phase 1 of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by the remodel of the Classroom Building. This
remodel will include an update of all the finishes within the building including bathrooms, floors, ceiling
tile and the removal of the existing wood paneling, which will be replaced with drywall. We recommend
updating the lighting in each of the classrooms to have dimmable lighting on the front presentation wall.
This wall should also have two computer display screens. These screens could change over time
depending on technology available and the needs of the campus. Some examples of these screens
include projection screens, large monitors, and touchscreens. Each classroom door should have a
window placed within it to provide transparency and help deal with security. Each class room should be
equipped with whiteboards on all of its walls and lightweight tables and chairs, which will help facilitate
multiple class sizes and teaching styles.
It is recommended that the building’s thermal comfort problems be addressed by replacing the current
furnace system with a VAV system.
Much like every other building on campus, the construction of a permanent awning system is
recommended at the building’s front entrance.
As part of this remodel we recommend moving technology and equipment from Smart Classroom
(Room 315) in the Library to Room 204 in classroom building and move the computer lab that is
currently in Room 211 into Room 315 of the library building. This will consolidate the classrooms into
the same building while allowing the library to house multiple computer labs. One of the labs will be
permanently open to the student body while the other will function as a lab but can be used for classes.
MASTER PLANNING 3.3
Phase 2A of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by the construction of a new Student Center
addition. Through several workshops, the committee discussed whether to remodel the existing Wallace
Student Center, make an addition to the current Student Center, or create an entirely new building that
would act as a Student Center. After deliberation and recommendations by Strang, the Steering
Committee decided that building an addition as well as remodeling the existing Student Center is the
best choice for the campus, both now and for the foreseeable future. Please see Appendix A for a
Space Needs Program for the Student Center Addition and Remodel.
The location of the addition was determined to be attached to the Wallace Student Center’s south facing
façade. This location was selected because of its potential presence as one enters from either of UWRichland’s two main entrances off of Highway 14. One of the goals of the committee since early on in
the master planning process was that the campus needs a “front door”. This new signature addition
would act as that. By having the new addition in close proximity to the existing Performing Arts
Departments, many spaces can be shared. For example: the lobby/commons area for the new addition
can double as the pre- and post-function area for the Performing Arts space. They can also share more
ancillary spaces such as toilet and mechanical rooms.
A large portion of the campus along Brush Creek is currently within a flood plain; the new design should
take this into account. While this does not mean that a building cannot be constructed within the flood
plain, it does mean that the campus will have to go through a potentially lengthy process to remove
areas of the building site out of the flood plain. This CLOMAR/LOMAR process can take upwards of two
years (See Appendix E for more details). We recommend starting this process soon after this master
plan is completed. This will allow UW Richland full flexibility in the design of both this additional and any
future new buildings or additions.
This new facility will benefit not only the campus but also the entire Richland Center community. There
will be unique spaces, like a black box multi use space, that will be the first of its kind in the community.
This space will give the performing arts on campus additional rehearsal spaces and allow them to hold
more intimate performances. This same space can be used for conferencing, student orientation and
could be reserved by people or groups from the community.
This new addition will house many functions including: a commons area, student activities area, and a
Mac/MIDI computer lab and will house the Student Affairs, Business. Foundation, and the Dean’s
offices. The Addition will also house the Continuing Education office and storage.
International students make up a significant population of UW-Richland’s student body. Currently
international students congregate in their coordinator’s office. An international student’s lounge would
provide a designated space for students to socialize while allowing their coordinator a separate and
quieter working environment.
The new campus commons area will house a cafeteria, a student lounge, a game room, a bookstore, an
art gallery and some ancillary spaces such as toilet rooms and storage. This part of the Student Center
will become the social hub of campus where students go to eat, study and socialize on campus. This
MASTER PLANNING 3.4
will make current students want to stay on campus before, after and in between classes, and also help
draw prospective students to the campus.
The student activities area that will be part of this building will include the Student Senate, a faculty
office and a quiet room. The quiet room will have a small kitchenette with a sink and a small refrigerator
so that it can be used as a mother’s room. The room could also be used for meditation or prayer.
The Mac/MIDI computer lab that is currently in East Hall will move to this new building. This will bring
the equipment closer to the performing art students whose use it was originally intended. Bringing the
equipment across the creek near to where the student body spends most of their time will help with
awareness of their availability and allow more students to use the equipment.
This phase should also ignite some of the site recommendations such as the new drop-off, courtyard
and patio.
Phase 2B: Student Center Remodel
The Committee recommends that the remodeling of the existing Student Center follow on the heels of
the completion of the new addition. This will allow the existing building to still function as it has while the
new addition is being constructed. For example, by not starting the demolition of the existing kitchen
until the new kitchen has been built, the campus will be able to provide food preparation services
throughout the year with minimal disruptions.
The largest renovation that will occur during remodeling of the existing Student Center will be the
transformation of the existing commons and kitchen into back-of-house functions for the performing
arts. The largest new area in the existing building will be a new music rehearsal room. The finishes in
the Coppertop performing space will also get updated as part of this phase.
Most of the remodel of this building will be interior with the exception of raising the roof for the Black
Box Theater, and so that a taller space can be created for a functional fly loft and its associated wings.
The current stage doesn’t have enough height for a functional fly loft and it doesn’t have any wing
space, which makes it difficult for performances to operate.
The existing space lacks storage which results with the Music and Theater departments borrowing
storage from other places on campus. It is proposed that the new building have storage for student
instruments, percussion, props, costumes and storage for robes and T-shirts.
The Music Department will continue to be housed in this building with access to a piano lab/music room
and a music library, both of which are recommended to increase in size. The building will continue to
house two small music practice rooms and a third larger one is recommended as well a larger music
rehearsal room. The committee also recommends a faculty office/music studio for the use of this
department.
The Theater Department will also continue to be housed in this building. A faculty office, men’s and
women’s dressing rooms, costume shop/laundry room and two wings on either side of the stage will be
MASTER PLANNING 3.5
added to the building as part of this phase. Other areas that are recommended to be enlarged are the
makeup room and the scene shop. It is recommended that the equipment in the 3D art lab be moved to
this new scene shop. This would allow more students on campus to have access to the equipment,
including the Theater and Art departments.
Other functions that will serve the Music and Theater departments that will be part of the addition
include the lobby, a ticket booth/box office and a coat check.
Phase 3A: East Hall Remodel
Phase 3A of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by the remodel of East Hall. The East Hall
remodel is suggested to take place after the Student Center remodel and either concurrently with, or
before the remodel of Melvill Hall. This remodel mainly focuses on converting spaces that had their
functions move into the Student Center. Converting the existing MAC lab into new UW Extensions
offices and the existing 3D art studio into Campus storage. It is also recommended as part of this
remodel to inspect the underground ductwork and replace the system if needed.
Phase 3B: Melvill Hall Remodel
Phase 3B of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2 & 3.3) will be the remodel of Melvill Hall. This remodel is
suggested to take place a short time after the completion of the Student Center because the Student
Affairs, Business, Foundation, Continuing Education and Dean’s Offices need to be moved in to the
Student Center before their existing space in Melvill Hall can be transformed as part of this project.
These existing spaces will be transformed into offices, conference rooms, and math and reading labs.
Many offices will be enlarged in this process and offices will be realigned by department.
The building will have its finishes updated including bathrooms, flooring and ceiling tile. The existing
Multimedia Lab is currently underutilized. This room will be converted into another office in this
proposed phase. The existing distance education classes should have its storage removed and the
finishes updated.
After the Continuing Education Department moves into East Hall its space can be used by the rest of
the building occupants for storage, which is something that is needed in this particular building.
Part of this phase will be the replacement of the current furnaces in the new part of the building with a
Variable Air Volume (VAV) system and rezone or retrofit existing RTUs in old part of the building. This
will solve the temperature control issues that currently exist in this space.
This phase will also include a rework of the thermal and moisture protection configuration of the roof of
the existing west addition to Melvill Hall to solve its moisture and condensation issues.
Student confidentiality is very important to the staff at UW Richland. Currently several offices have very
poor acoustical separation. Part of this project will be to upgrade the acoustical separation between
rooms and add additional outlets to each office.
MASTER PLANNING 3.6
The Steering Committee is recommending that the entrance at the northwest corner be removed and
replaced by a window. This will cut down on the amount of canopies the campus installs, improves
circulation and creates an interior alcove/small breakout area that is needed in this building.
Phase 4: Library Remodel
Phase 4 of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by the remodel of the Library. This remodel will
include an update of all the finishes within the building including bathrooms, floors, ceiling tile and the
removal of the existing wood paneling, which will be replaced with drywall.
To facilitate better pedestrian flow it is recommended to transform the eastern set of doors from exit
doors to a second entrance. This will include installing doors with some transparency in them and
creating a vestibule.
The Library Director's office should be relocated from its existing home in Room 309 to the existing
study room in Room 308. A window will also need to be installed in the east wall of the office so that the
director has direct views of the checkout and better sight lines of the rest of the library. Room 309 would
then function as a study room.
Creating a separate closet for IT, so that maintenance and IT are in separate spaces, is a very
important part of this phase.
It is recommended to replace current furnaces with a VAV system or two (2) packaged single zone VAV
systems. This will help with temperature control issues in this building.
Phase 5A of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by an addition to the gym building. This
addition is recommended to attach to the west façade of the existing gym building. The addition will
include a large multifunction classroom space, a new weight room and storage. A new entrance and
lobby to be completed as part of this phase will give the building a visible front entrance as well as help
bring the building up to ADA standards.
A portion of the footprint of the addition is currently within a flood plain; the design of this addition should
take this into account. The campus will have to go through a CLOMAR/LOMAR process to remove
portions of the building site out of the flood plain, which can take upwards of two years (See Appendix E
for more details).
Phase 5B of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by the remodel of the gym building. This will
be a general remodeling of existing building including accessibility and interior finish upgrade. This
phase will upgrade the hallways, bathrooms, offices, locker rooms and showers.
MASTER PLANNING 3.7
Phase 6: Greenhouse and Science Building Update
Phase 6 of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.2) is facilitated by an addition of a greenhouse and the
remodel of the Science Building. This phase is recommended to be the last of the outlined phases
partially because this building, having been renovated in 2000 is the campus facility that is the one that
has had the most recent renovation. As a result, its interior finishes are mostly updated.
As part of this phase we recommend the following: 1) Replacement of the current HVAC control system
and 2) Replacement of the carpet in the “Pit” (lecture hall) with a hard surface floor, as food service
occurs in this room.
The casework in the Geology Lab will be replaced with casework that is designed to holds rocks.
Display cases will be constructed in the corridor in this proposed phase. The current countertops will be
replaced with countertops that are more durable and can take the wear and tear from the students and
faculty.
All existing refrigerators that are currently not rated to hold explosive materials should be replaced with
ones that can. Each lab and prep room should have a fume hood on a separate circuit. Eyewash
stations shall be installed in each lab and prep room that doesn’t currently have one.
The addition of a greenhouse on the south side of the building off Room 114 and a cadaver tank that
are proposed in this phase will enhance the educational experience of the students.
Phase 7: Site Improvement Projects
Phase 7 of the Master Plan (see Figure 3.4) is facilitated by a series of site improvement projects. Most
of the site improvements can be thought of as separate mini projects that do not need to be done at the
same time. A few of these projects would ideally be done in conjunction with building remodels or
additions. One of these is the development of a student quad over the existing concrete patio area
integrated with new arrival drop-off. This project would preferably happen while Phase 1 is occurring.
To help improve the pedestrian experience on campus we are suggesting a pedestrian crossing to
Residential Hall across US Highway 14 from the campus and the introduction of a coordinated family of
site amenities and pedestrian wayfinding elements. We are also suggesting developing a wellness trail
that runs through the campus incorporating an interpretive signage system and workout stations.
To promote biking on campus, this Master Plan suggests the implementation of several bike racks and
shelters, scattered across the campus. A joint extension of a bike path that connects the High School to
the campus just south of the tennis courts.
The drainage issues on north sides of the buildings will be resolved by regrading the site to create a
swale to redirect water. The drainage issues at the west entrance to the Science Building will be
addressed through the creation of a dry stream bed which will help to drain the water away from the
building.
MASTER PLANNING 3.8
A phased reduction of lawn and introduction of native prairie landscape along the banks of Brush Creek
is also recommended. Placing rocks on the edge of the banks of Brush Creek will help to reduce
erosion and naturalize the edges of the creek.
To improve the experience for a visitor arriving by vehicle, a realignment of the middle entry drive is
recommended. The realignment will connect the middle and east entry drives via an enlarged parking
facility and separate the driving lane from the parking lanes. It is suggested to relocate digital read-aboard signage to new 'middle' drive location.
It is recommended to redo the existing Symons lot as part of the gymnasium addition. This will keep the
parking lots separate while providing a drop-off for the gym building. (see Figure 3.4)

4. BUILDING CONDITION REPORT
A.
Introduction
As part of the data gathering process, the existing UW Richland buildings were evaluated with respect to
their overall condition. The goal was to identify items which may impact the continued use and/or
renovation of these buildings for campus functions over the next 10 years. The evaluation consisted of
visual observations by Strang’s team of Architects and Engineers, plus interviews with campus facility
management staff to identify known problems. The following pages contain itemized building condition
reports for each campus. Included are 10 year maintenance and infrastructure improvement plans with
budgets costs and suggested timeframe for implementation.
B.
Maintenance and Infrastructure Improvement Budget
Figure 4.1 represents the combined budgets for all recommended maintenance and infrastructure
improvement projects identified in the report prioritized into annual budgets over a 10 year period. The
detailed budget spreadsheets found on the following pages are intended to be used as a working tool for
planning annual facilities budgets on an ongoing basis.

and Classroom Buildings.
Multiple 120/208 and 277/480V panels serve the building, with labs
having dedicated panels. Adequate spaces for additional loads are
available in many panels.
All equipment appears to be Square D.
Violations/ Concerns
Equipment stored in electrical rooms encroaches on required panel
clearances.

Fiberglass insulation on interior hot water system piping is in good
condition. The elastomeric insulation used on exterior refrigeration
piping is in serviceable to good condition.
Comments
Recommendations
There appears to be control issues in this building in part because
the return air duct may not be sized to account for the fume hoods
to be off. Humidity issues identified between infiltration items and
with how cooling staging operates.
Consider adding variable frequency drive control to AHU fan. Allow
terminal control valves to act as true variable air volume units rather
than constant volume. Link fume hood operation to outside air
intake. Coordinate with remote condenser manufacturer about
variable cooling capability, or look at replacing AHU cooling coils
and/or the remote condenser to allow variable cooling.
HVAC Controls
Basic system
Honeywell “CARE” System. Facilities staff indicated that this is an
older control system that is difficult to maintain and support.
Thermostats and
control valves
Honeywell TSTATs and control valves.
Comments
The building was upgraded with mechanical systems and controls
back in 2001, but the control system installed was near being
outdated at that time. Since then, the system has been reported to
be hard to interface with and troubleshoot.
Recommendations
Work with facilities staff on scheduling the next O&M replacement
of any of the main mechanical systems (boiler, AHU, condenser,
etc) and prior to that replacement get a mechanical designer to
design a revised control sequence of operation. Upgrade the
controls while the system is down with the mechanical replacement.

Recommendations
Facilities staff have attempted to mitigate the outside air issues, but
a full mechanical design study should be commissioned to trouble
shoot the system and provide a control sequence.
Air Conditioning
Cooling
The IT room has a dedicated residential grade split system remote
condensing unit that is in good condition. There have been some
control issues due to the residential grade unit not having humidity
control options as needed for these types of spaces. The building is
served by a remote condensing system serving DX coils at the
constant volume central Air Handling Unit.
Special Equipment
Dehumidifiers
There is not specialty dehumidification, but there were fans set up
near vestibules to try and help evaporate standing water issues.
There is a dedicated humidifier that serves the AHU. Like most of
the buildings on this campus, humidity issues exist due to operable
windows and large infiltration issues.

Equipment manufactured by Kinney
Proper panel clearances are not met. Storage of material infringes
on panel clearances
Others
Equipment is aging, but older Kinney equipment is, generally,
regarded as reliable.
Recommendations
The system can remain, as long as it meets the need of the
building. However, if the building is remodeled or significantly
upgraded, all new electrical distribution equipment should be
installed. Rooms with electrical panels should be cleared of all
storage that infringes on panel clearances.

condition. 3 furnaces are served by a single makeup air/economizer
type blower fans that are in poor condition and are unlikely to be
code compliant.
Boiler Controls
NA
Boiler feed system
NA
Ducted system is in serviceable condition.
Pipe Insulation
Refrigerant piping is in poor to serviceable condition.
Comments
Recommendations
Humidity issues throughout building. No confidence in economizer
function for the furnace systems. Ventilation and air quality is
questionable throughout building. There is no relief capability for the
building. Major infiltration issues due to operable window conditions.
Built up over time controls are a mess.
Replace furnaces with VAV type system with modulating cooling for
better humidity control. Provide new system with real ventilation,
economizer and relief capability. Consider upgrading to a VAV
system with room control and monitoring to correct humidity,
heating, and cooling issues.
HVAC Controls
Basic system
All electric controls with a Honeywell building controller with
patchwork built-up-over-time zone and relay control systems within
the zone and in the mechanical penthouse.
Thermostats and
control valves
Honeywell for the zone controllers and sensors. A mix match of
relays up in the mechanical penthouse for control of the furnaces,
“economizer fan”, and cooling control.
Comments
The controls in the penthouse are a nightmare with the endless
patchwork assembly of relays.
Recommendations
The built-up-over-time and patchwork assembly of residential and
commercial grade systems is a mess. Building should be scheduled
for major HVAC upgrade and have the controls standardized at that
time.

filters at furnace returns until system can be replaced. Replace
furnaces with VAV type system with modulating cooling for better

Primary Heating
Hot Water cast iron boiler and pumps serves the theater, music
room, and cafeteria air handler units. Perimeter vestibules served
with hot water cabinet unit heaters. HW unit heaters used in storage
and utility spaces.
Boiler Controls
Pneumatic controlled system.
Boiler feed system
NA
Ducted AHU systems and terminal unit heaters, all in serviceable
condition.
Pipe Insulation
Elastomeric refrigerant piping is in poor to serviceable condition.
Hot water piping appears to be a mix of asbestos and fiberglass
and is in serviceable condition.
Comments
Recommendations
The theatre didn’t originally have cooling and had dedicated
cooling-only RTU’s added later. The return duct for the heating only
theatre AHU was significantly loud for this being a theatre space.
Given the overall age of this building and existing HVAC systems it
is still in surprisingly good shape.
Given the age of the existing systems, they are nearing the end of
their lives. Asbestos abatement should be accomplished for the
piping insulation. Coordinate with facilities staff and a mechanical
designer to select replacements and system design and control
upgrades, and then institute these replacements and upgrades
during scheduled O&M system down times.
HVAC Controls
Basic system
Pneumatic, but systems are old.
Thermostats and
control valves
Pneumatic and electric by mix of manufacturers.
Comments
Existing system is pneumatic with little to no status monitoring
capability.
Recommendations
During scheduled O&M replacement of any of the major systems,
take this opportunity to upgrade to at least a building level DDC
control system.
Ventilation
Toilet exhaust
Dedicated room exhaust fans run to exterior wall vents.
Janitors closets
Not exhausted.
Apartment bathroom
NA

Handling Unit
NA
Sanctuary & Dining
Room Air Handling
Unit
Cafeteria area is served by a dedicated hot water heated air
handling unit with 3 remote DX cooling units serving what appears
to be a 3 row coil.
Recommendations
Given the age of these existing systems, schedule O&M
replacement times and get a mechanical designer to assist with
updating the control systems.
Air Conditioning
Cooling
2 packaged cooling only roof top units in serviceable condition
serve the theater area. 3 remote DX compressors in poor to
serviceable condition serve the cooling coil for the cafeteria unit.
With how the staging is set up for the cafeteria unit, when replacing
the AHU or condensers, it would be prudent to go to a modulating
scroll style compressor for better dehumidification & cooling control.
The music room has a remote DX condenser on the roof that is in
poor to serviceable condition. The fan coil unit and remote DX
condenser serving the kitchen is in good condition.
Special Equipment
Dehumidifiers
There are no dedicated dehumidification units. But there is a
humidifier in poor condition serving the theatre.

Recommendations
The system can remain, as long as it
meets the need of the building.
However, if the building is remodeled
or significantly upgraded, all new
electrical distribution equipment
should be installed. Rooms with
electrical panels should be cleared of
all storage that infringes on panel
clearances.

ADA Compliance
Recommendations
Not ADA compliant: no visual
notification
Pull Stations mounted too high to
meet ADA requirements and wire
pulls have been added to provide
access.
The system should be replaced as
soon as possible with a modern
system with ADA compliant
notification and a digital
communicator to report system status
to a monitoring agency. Automatic
early detection, such as smoke
detectors, is recommended for
property protection, since no sprinkler
system is installed.

Hot water piping to unit heaters, cabinet unit heaters, and heating
only air handling units.
Pipe Insulation
Likely asbestos. Still in good to serviceable condition.
Comments
Given the age of this building and everything being original existing
equipment, the system has held up very well.
Recommendations
Given that this system has been in operation since 1967, everything
in it is well passed the expected lifespan. Asbestos abatement
should be accomplished for the hot water piping. And it would be
prudent to schedule O&M replacement of the pumps, boiler, AHU’s,
and terminal unit heaters before they start catastrophically failing.
HVAC Controls
Basic system
Pneumatic controls, originally provided by JCI. In serviceable
condition.

Heating is distributed through a mix of overhead/wall and
underground supply ductwork. Perimeter zones are the areas
served by underground supply distribution at the walls and
windows.
Pipe Insulation
Comments
With the water table being dangerously close to foundations, this
being the first underground supply ducted system on campus it is
frightening to think what the condition of the ductwork could be in.
Recommendations
ducted systems. If mold or contaminants are present, closure of
facility may need to occur until system can be retrofitted. Replace
furnaces with VAV type system with modulating cooling for better
humidity control and provide a new supply and return air pathway.
Consider upgrading to a VAV system with room control and
monitoring to correct humidity, heating, and cooling issues. The
outside are intake louver was mostly boarded up so the likelihood
for economizer cooling is unlikely.
HVAC Controls
Basic system
Packaged T-STAT zone controllers of mixed manufacturers.
Thermostats and

Mixed manufacturers. The speed controller for the art room ceiling
fans is in a highly inaccessible location.
Comments
A residential type system applied to a commercial facility.
Recommendations
Convert to a building level control system and incorporate a new
mechanical system that can provide ventilation, dehumidification,
and economizer capability. Relocate fan controller in art room.
Ventilation
Toilet exhaust
Bathrooms are connected to an abandoned ducted exhaust system.
The floor supply “stack effect” is probably the only reason there
hasn’t been complaints.

Recommendations
This building is lacking functional ventilation and economizer
capability. Ventilation is likely made up through the use of operable
windows, which is leading to the sever infiltration and humidity
issues. Mechanical systems need to be converted to a commercial
level system with ventilation and dehumidification capabilities.
Air Conditioning
Cooling
The only cooling for the building is via the 3 remote condensers
serving the 3 residential style furnaces. All three of the remote
condensers are in poor condition.

SITE CONDITION CHECKLIST
UW Richland Campus
Original construction in 1966-67 by Flad Architects/Hugh Dega Associates Landscape Architect’s
Campus Grounds
Site
Grades / Drainage/
(To Creek ?)
Needs attention in many areas. Standing water and winter snow
and ice issues with freeze/thaw cycles. Need positive drainage from
the buildings that are set low to ground.
Trees and Site
Plantings Condition
Primarily in good condition but some dead/dying trees; Some large
trees in need of pruning. Possible long-term replacement strategy
needed.
Site Drains
Drains to creek but some areas of standing water and low building
floor elevations create areas of puddling and bad freeze thaw
situations at building entrances
Pavements (General)
Mixed colors of pavements; Lots of cracking, spalling and widening
joints. Potential exists to lower some sidewalks to alleviate drainage
issues into buildings and at entrances. Should try to soften “Quad”
plaza with less pavement and more plantings, colors.
Sidewalks/Wellness
Paths/ Access
See above. Did not walk Wellness Path (muddy and wet conditions)
as not paved. Potential to expand path and provide opportunities for
expansion.
Curb Cuts
Curb cuts vary for ADA accessibility: Some stormwater from parking
lots/drives drains into lawn areas and the creek
Entry and Wayfinding
Signage
Good branding with main entrance electronic sign and new
directional wayfinding signs and campus directories. Add more
signs as required for new buildings. Interpretive system possible.
Retaining Walls?
Did not see any
Stairs / Ramps /
Railings / ADA
Some ramps look questionable if they meet current ADA guidelines.
This includes required railing design. Need to evaluate in greater
detail.
Bike Racks/ Type and
Locations
Seems to be a need for more bike racks. Very few seen. Locate
near main building entrances and parking areas. Provide signage.
Opportunities Include: Lighting upgrade to LED, Future outer ring-road circulation
opportunity, Linkages to area and regional Bike Trails, Connection to Art Building,
Shared Parking? Hwy 14 pedestrian crossing and refuge island by DOT.

Concerns
Recommendations
A 480/277V, 40kW, 50kVA utility-fed, natural gas generator is located in
the Physical Education Building. This Generator serves standby power
loads (selected boilers, air-handlers and HVAC controls) and emergency
lighting in all buildings, except for East Hall.
The generator is in poor condition.
A 100A, 3-pole transfer switch is located in the generator room.
The transfer switch is in poor condition.
The transfer switch is known to burn coils when a single-phase outage
occurs.
A 100A, 480/277V fused-switch distribution panel distributes standby
power to each building.
Electrical loading was not evaluated.
Two spare fused switches are available in the standby distribution
panelboard.
The standby system is original and is unreliable. Further, it does not meet
modern requirements for NEC 700 and 702 branch separation. In current
codes, Life safety items, such as egress lighting, shall be on a separate
transfer switch than non-life-safety items, such as boilers.
Further, modern requirements also require onsite fuel storage for lifesafety items, which is not the case with a natural gas generator.
It is recommended that separate emergency systems (such as lighting
inverters or unit battery lights) be installed in each building to provide
power for egress and exit lighting and other life safety loads.
If the campus finds value in backing up boilers and other equipment, then
the standby generator and transfer switch should be replaced with new.
However, if this backup is not considered critical to campus buildings and
operations, the generator could be eliminated, once other sources of
emergency power for life safety loads are in place in each building.
Fire Alarm
Basic System
Each building is served by an individual fire alarm system. See each
building for the condition of these. No central fire alarm network or even
remote reporting of status and alarm (to the fire department via a
monitoring agency) are included in any of the systems.
Concerns
There is no way to remotely monitor the status of fire alarm equipment by
campus maintenance personnel and there is no automatic means of
alerting the fire department upon alarm.
Recommendations
Either establish a campus fire alarm network as new fire alarm systems
are installed or provide digital communicators for each fire alarm system to
directly call a central station (security monitoring agency) so that system
monitoring for alarm and supervision, per NFPA standards, is facilitated.
Basic System
Mass notification alert/lights located throughout the campus buildings are
activated through a web interface from any campus computer. A manual
override is also located in Melvill Hall 434.
A separate text message system, through the UW system, for emergency
alerts is also available to those who sign up to receive the alerts. The
systems are not tied together.
Headend Location
Melvill Hall 434
Equipment Condition
The system was designed using various components by an employee of
the campus. It appears to be maintained and functions well.
Concerns
Since it is not a Listed (UL or other Nationally Recognized Testing Lab)
system, its suitability may be questioned as mass notification codes and
standards mature.
The system audible and visual notification coverage does not appear to
meet NFPA or ADA standards for alarms.
Recommendations
As building fire alarm systems are replaced, the campus may consider
how mass notification functionality could be shifted to the fire alarm
systems.
Telephone
Basic System
PBX system, with individual pairs routed to every phone.
Headend
Melville Hall 434
Equipment Condition
The equipment appears to be in good working condition and meets the
current needs of the campus. A newer voicemail system has been added
to the system.
Recommendations
As long as adequate lines exist, the existing system can remain in use,
however, a voice over IP system is recommended when the existing
system no longer meets the campus needs.
Data
A wired and wireless data system is distributed throughout the campus.
Underground fiber in conduit serves each of the buildings with a small data
rack in each building.
Basic System
Many “thin client” stations were observed throughout the campus, served
by a VMWare server.
The service entrance is located in Melvill Hall
Service Entrance
Location(s)
Equipment Condition
The main campus servers are located in the Science Building. Backup
servers are in Melvill Hall
Wireless Access has recently been upgraded to a centrally managed
system and coverage was reported to be very good throughout the
buildings.
The network switched were reported to be aging, but still functioning
properly.
Overall the system appears to serve the campus well and is appropriately
scalable.
Exterior Lighting
Site lighting in parking lot areas appear to be high pressure sodium
floodlight type fixtures that are not full cutoff.
ELEC PHOTO 12: EXTERIOR LIGHTING 135325
Pedestrian lighting areas appear to be mostly original and is not cutoff, but
has been retrofit with compact fluorescent lighting.
Exterior building lighting is mostly high pressure sodium and is not cutoff.
Some bollard and tree lighting was also observed.
Dark Areas
Concerns
The campus was not observed in the darkness.
Much of the campus lighting does not appear to be high performance and
likely does not provide the best balance of safety/security and efficiency.
Much of the building mounted exterior lighting throughout campus appears
to be in poor condition or has shields built to protect it from ice falling from
building roofs.
Some of the conduit and wiring methods appear to be in need of repair.
Recommendations
Any landscape or building projects should include new LED site and
building fixtures

Stakeholder Survey and Interview
UW Richland Stakeholder Interview Summary 2013-09-10
Campus
The Coppertop Stage and the kitchen are the only areas on the campus that are fire sprinkled. The
implementation of an updated centralized alarm system that links the buildings and has the ability to
call out, would enhance the fire safety on campus.
Snow and ice sliding off the roof at building entrances is dangerous and should be addressed on all
campus buildings.
Several of the main entrances including the gym and Melvill Hall are not ADA compliant, as they require
one to ascend stairs to access their respective main entrances. Ramps could be added to these
entrances to comply with ADA and make the campus more accessible to everyone.
Safety has been listed as a priority on the campus. Better lighting near building entrances and parking
lots would enhance safety and deter vehicle break-ins.
The introduction of bike racks around campus would promote commuter biking and help create a good
collegiate atmosphere for the students.
When it rains or when the snow melts many of the sidewalks accumulate large amounts of water. To
prevent this, the site should be pitched so that water runoff travels away from the sidewalks and
buildings.
Key spaces that prospective students pay attention to include Pippin, the Countertop, the lecture hall in
the Science Building, the gym and the Cafeteria. All of these spaces need to look professional and need
to be able to be photographed to help with the recruitment and retention of students.
There is a need for more impromptu sit-down, collaborative study and meeting spaces throughout the
campus for students to enjoy while they are not in class. This will also help to keep students on campus
during the day which encourages the social atmosphere of the campus as a whole.
Sustainable energy sources could be used to operate the campus. Some of these might even be revenue
generators. Recycling bins could be added to every building to help promote recycling.
Both the college and the community would mutually benefit from a place on campus for the two entities
to interact and collaborate. Local businesses should be invited in to convey to students some of the
developments that are going on in their own backyards.
Wood paneling has been used throughout the campus. This wall finish helps to give the campus an
outdated feel. If this paneling was replaced with drywall and a fresh coat of paint it would dramatically
help with the image of the campus by giving it an updated appearance.
Signage should be made prevalent on all buildings to facilitate wayfinding.
Library
The current library space is functional but outdated. The HVAC needs work properly to make the
current Computer Lab and Room 315 more comfortable.
The restrooms and possibly some of the doors leading into the study rooms are not ADA compliant and
need to be brought up to date.
The IT and maintenance closet need to be separated into two separate spaces.
There are recurring roof and window leakage problems that need to be addressed.
The current textbook storage may be converted into a computer lab or a study area. Currently there
exists a possibility of retaining a third party provider for textbooks therefore there may no longer be the
need to store textbooks on site.
The current study room that is adjacent to the checkout could have a window installed and be used as
the Librarian’s office. This would allow the Librarian better sightlines to the stacks and the checkout
counter. This solution would leave the Librarian without any windows to the outside, but is felt to be a
more preferred office location.
Locating a new entrance at the knuckle of the building between its West and East wings would create a
better entry sequence and help in wayfinding. The study areas, stacks and library materials would be
located in the East Wing, while the West Wing would house offices, support spaces and meeting rooms.
The Library could be opened up with compact shelving and the saved space could be used to create
collaborative study areas, an art exhibit and possibly some more areas for public computers.
The Smart Classroom (Room 315) is one of the most desirable classrooms on campus. However, its
functions are underutilized in its current location. A possible solution would be to move the Smart
Classroom to the classroom building. The computer lab from the classroom building could be relocated
to the vacated space in the Library, thus enhancing the adjacencies and uses of both functions. The
computer lab in the classroom building is underutilized because it is locked when there is not a class
using it. If it were to be moved to the Library it could still be used for classes, but when it is not being
used it can be open to the student body at large, because it can be monitored by Library staff.
Melvill Hall
If the entire Student Services staff were all located adjacent to each other there would be better synergy
and would cut down the length of trips needed to be taken each day.
International students make up a significant population of UW-Richland. Currently, international
students gather in their coordinator’s office. An international student’s lounge would provide a
designated space for students to congregate while allowing their coordinator a separate and quieter
working environment.
The existing Multimedia Lab is currently underutilized. This room could be used for some other use.
There is a need for extra storage from all departments that should be addressed.
There is a moisture and condensation problem in the roof of the “new” west expansion portion of the
building that needs to be addressed.
The HVAC needs work throughout the building as occupants are often uncomfortable.
The water temperature in the women's restroom is never hot enough and should be addressed.
The addition of more electrical outlets in offices would reduce the number of power strips used, which
would make the environment safer.
Currently several people share offices. While this works for them, it is not ideal. Preferably, there would
be enough individual offices that each faculty and space would have their own designated office.
Student confidentiality is very important to the staff at UW-Richland. Currently a few private offices do
not have very good acoustical separation. If these rooms are made to be more acoustically isolated, it
would dramatically help with student confidentiality.
The use of carpeting for flooring in Pippin should be reconsidered because food is served. However,
any alternative flooring material should be evaluated for acoustical properties.
If more electrical outlets were added, occupants would not have to use power strips.
If the south entrance was enhanced to make it feel like the main entrance it would give the entire
campus a “Front Door” and would help dramatically with wayfinding. A “Pippin like room” and Student
Affairs should be located adjacent to the Front Door.
There is a need for a dedicated and secure Student Senate office.
The Café currently works as a prefunction space during performances in the Coppertop Theater.
Student Center
Roadrunner Café
Because it is the most popular hangout, the café needs to be updated in aesthetics, equipment and in its
menu selections. This center is the social hub of the campus and is very important for retention and
recruitment. It is in a very visible location which makes it the ideal spot to house several functions
including:
1) Student elections
2) Advisor meet and greets
3) Club fairs
4) Art shows
An area that is set aside for games, and possibly a large television that can be hooked up to different
gaming systems, would create an attractive space for students.
There is a need for acoustic separation between the Café and the Four Seasons Lounge.
A larger window in which to set the dishes to be washed would be beneficial.
The introduction of an ATM would allow users to quickly access cash.
There is an expressed need for an art gallery to showcase student and community work.
New blinds would help facilitate presentations as the sun shines through the current blinds and makes it
hard to view any presentations.
Performing Arts Spaces
There is a need for a performance venue on campus. The departments and organizations on campus
would be severely disrupted if they had to use one of the other venues in Richland Center.
The Music Classroom is currently not ADA accessible and should be made to be so.
The scene shop is very small and does not function as a scene shop should. A solution is to move the
Music Program and turn the current music room into a scene shop. This would allow more space for the
scene shop, which could combine with the 3d art space so more students would have use of the best
equipment on campus. Ideally, a much larger passage way between the current music room and the
stage would have to be designed.
The music program currently has no storage space for the increasing amount of equipment it needs in
order to remain current. This includes an adequate keyboard-computer lab, percussion storage and a
secure place for student instruments.
Ideally, both the Theater Director and the Music Director should have their offices near the
rehearsal/performance areas. In the case of the Music Director, that office should be large enough to
double as a private instruction studio as well.
A second rehearsal/performance space is desired for the multiple performing arts groups on campus.
Two scenarios were discussed:
1. Black Box
A “Black Box” space would have a rehearsal or floor area identical to the size of the stage in the
Coppertop. This would allow both programs to be able to rehearse in one area and plan for a
performance, knowing the exact space of the actual performance area. The Community Band
has to wait for a theater production to end before it can begin rehearsals because the current
music room is too small and its proximity to the stage makes play rehearsals (happening at the
same time) awkward.
The Theater Program would like the option of doing more than one production per semester or
the option of doing more “experimental” productions than a traditional proscenium theater
allows. A “black box” might make this possible. Of course, such a space would need to be
flexible enough for more usages than simply the rehearsal needs of just two campus programs.
The actual room itself would need to be larger than the rehearsal area. This additional area
would have mobile seating apparatus allowing for multiple kinds of performances, as well as
additional campus and community functions.
2. Recital Hall
The Coppertop is close to being the right size for audiences of current Theater and Music
Department programs. It is, however, too large for the more intimate needs of music recitals by
soloists and small ensembles; or for any kind of academic class usage. A recital hall that could
seat 150 people is really what the campus needs. Currently we either have the Coppertop,
which seats about 300, and the Science Hall Lecture Pit which seats about 45.
A Recital Hall could be the new Music Room. The stage area could have flexible walls. This area
would be large enough to seat the Community Band or other large performing groups for
rehearsals, but made more intimate for a solo recital. As a potential classroom space it might be
more conducive for other academic programs, particularly speech classes. Community groups,
such as the Concert Association, might find it desirable.
The Coppertop
The entrances to the Auditorium are not ideal because they are located at the side of the stage instead
of at the back of the house. Other functions that should be located in, or near, the entrance are a lobby
area and a coat check area that might double for receptions. If a new entrance were to be designed at
the south end of the building the stage could be reconfigured to add wing space. Any remodeling plan
should include at least one hallway that connects one end of the building to the other.
There is a need for more storage which would include a costume shop.
The current green room/makeup room is small and doesn’t meet the needs of the programs that use it.
The need for a larger green room/makeup room was expressed.
New carpeting in the theater would help to bring the performing arts space up to date.
The fly mechanism is near the point of condemnation and has always been borderline useful. Ideally,
the roof above the stage should be raised at least six (6) additional feet in order to have a fly system that
offers real possibilities. Currently, even if the mechanism is upgraded to code, it offers limited usage.
A paint rack on the back wall of the stage would be extremely helpful. Ideally this would require a
“basement” below the stage.
Music Department
The music rehearsal area needs to be close enough to the performance area for quick mobility, but it
also needs to be “sealed off” for sound purposes.
Two (2) studios are required; one of these would double as the office of the Music Director. Both rooms
should have large double doors because one or both rooms would likely be the storage area of the
grand piano(s). These rooms should be at least double the space of the largest of the current faculty
offices.
A Music Library at least one and one-half times the size of the current room is needed. Various kinds of
space saving storage cabinetry is on the market and should be considered in the design. This room
should be located next to the Music Director’s office, for acoustic separation in between the two
studios.
More than double the current storage room is needed. This would include a room for student
instruments that would be separate from the main rehearsal room and would allow for the security of
those instruments. A separate percussion storage area adjacent to the rehearsal room is needed and,
ideally, a separate room (relatively small) for the storage of robes, t-shirts, and other such items.
The Mac Lab would function better and would get more use if it was located adjacent to the music
room.
Three (3) practice rooms are desired. The two current practice rooms are acceptable in size but not in
terms of acoustics. Ideally, they should be one and one-half times the current size. The third practice
room would be four times the size of the current practice rooms, allowing for some ensemble rehearsal
and choir sectionals.
All rehearsal and performance spaces need to have acoustical separation from other rooms and from
any sound the HVAC equipment makes.
East Hall
The 3d printing room is loud and disruptive and has no need to be located in this particular building.
The Continuing Education Department could move into this building as they are a branch of Extension.
The Mac Lab is used infrequently as it is located away from where most of the students are and the
room is locked during most of the day. The equipment and functions of this room would be better
utilized somewhere else on campus.
The HVAC is currently not performing up to the standards of the occupants.
Science Hall
The HVAC has become problematic in most of the spaces in this building. The old part of the building has
condensation forming on the windows.
A green house space would be a welcome addition to the campus and promote sustainability.
Casework that holds rocks would be favorable in the geology lab and a display cases in corridor would
be a nice addition.
Large moveable tables are desired in all classrooms and countertops that are durable are preferred in all
of the science labs. Multiple writing surfaces would make for a more flexible classroom.
All refrigerators that hold explosive materials should be rated to carry such materials. Each lab and prep
room should have a fume hood on a separate circuit. There is a need for an eyewash station in each lab
and prep room.
A cadaver tank would give a unique opportunity for the students.
The lecture hall could be updated with a hard surface floor as the room has food service capabilities.
The west entrance needs to be re-graded to prevent flooding and heaving that make the west doors
unusable in the winter. The south entrance has a Saran-wrapped column that should be looked at
further.
Gymnasium
The high pressure sodium lighting in the gym gives off a yellow hue that is troublesome to occupants.
Currently it is very difficult to get a good photo of large groups or student athletes due to the color that
the lighting emits. Replacing the entire lighting system would enhance people’s experience in the gym.
There is an expressed need for a classroom in the gym. A design to add a classroom, weight room and
storage on the west side of the building was discussed.
The locker room space is old and out-of-date and could use an updated look. It should also be expanded
to hold up to four (4) teams at once.
The main entrance is currently not well defined and is not ADA compliant nor are the existing bathrooms.
Storage is limited and in need.
Symons could possibly let student use their weight room for an additional fee.
The maintenance space in this building is deemed adequate.
A window looking into the weight room would add transparency in the gymnasium area.
Classroom Building
This building has an outdated aesthetic and could be made to look more contemporary, as it is the
building in which students spend most of their time.
The bathrooms in this building need to be remodeled to comply with ADA standards. The existing toilets
should be replaced with the newer seat height.
There are temperature control issues in this building which should be addressed.
Ideally all classrooms would be updated technologically (equal to the level of Room #315 in the Library).
They would have multiple whiteboards on all walls of the room. Having the option to be able to dim the
lights in front of the screen would also be beneficial.
Instructors locking doors in between classes has become disruptive.
Comfortable seating areas for students could act as impromptu meeting places.
In colder weather, students bring in extra clothing (coats, hats and gloves). A designated space outside
of the classroom for students to hold their gear would be helpful. Lockers could not only hold clothes
but also books and other belongings for students throughout the day.
Room numbers should be added to the walls near each classroom entrance (not only on the doors). This
would help with wayfinding when the classroom doors are open.
There is a desire to upgrade the furniture in the classrooms from chairs with a tablet arms to movable
tables with chairs. The tablet arm chairs do not allow students enough space to have more than one
book or notebook open at one time. Often students have to use their laps as tables in the current
situation. The introduction of tables would afford students who use wheelchairs, a better and more
comfortable learning environment.
An updated computer system and large podium with an abundance of space in each classroom would be
ideal for most faculty. They also want to be able to plug in their laptops.
The replacement of the carpeting in Room 203 may help to remove the odor from the room.
The introduction of a Writing Center would be beneficial to students and allow UW-Richland to provide
the same opportunities that most of the other UW System colleges already provide.
A private study room would allow students to focus on studying while on the campus.
Smart Farm
The Smart Farm would benefit from the following:
-
An area in which to hold a class that would replicate classroom space found on other parts of
the campus
A lab area to conduct tests would make it easier to hold science labs at the farm
A sink
A parking lot would make the farm more accessible and inviting to visitors
Larger restrooms that have the capacity for multiple people would allow the farm to house
larger events

Furniture and equipment layouts were presented showing: 1) Current Classroom Size; 2)
1.33x Current Classroom Size; and 3) 2x Current Classroom Size. Please see the attached
powerpoint for the meeting.
An Excel spreadsheet has been created showing classroom utilization for the campus for
the fall semester, 2013. It indicates that there is extra capacity in the classrooms on
campus, allowing the possible creation of larger classrooms for active learning by removing
walls and reconfiguring classrooms.
Strang to email the Excel file to Prof. Brandon Fetterly.
Strang to add the Pit classroom in the Science Building to the spreadsheet. The Pit has 48
fixed seats, and can fit 50 students with the addition of 2 chairs.
Plan for a maximum of 38 students in Non-Science Classrooms, and 48 in Science
Classrooms.
The following scenario will be explored:
i. Move the Smart Classroom function to Room 204 in the Classroom Building
ii. Remove the walls between Rooms 203 and 211 in the Classroom Building,
creating a 48 to 50 seat classroom.
iii. The campus can afford to have a reduction in the number of classrooms by one,
through the creation of a larger classroom from 2 smaller ones. However, the
campus cannot afford to have a total reduction of 2 classrooms by the moving of
the computers into a classroom, because the presence of computers makes a
classroom too inflexible.
iv. Move the computer lab function to a location somewhere in the Library (e.g. the
former textbook storage area, or the location of the existing Smart Classroom).
There was discussion about the possibility of dispersing the computers in the
Library, but it was determined that there is still a need for classes where the
computers are all together in one space.
Faculty Offices:
i. Improved acoustical privacy is needed between faculty offices.

ii. 6 offices (History, Sociology, :Psychology, Business/Econ, HES (Health & Exercise
Science, Philosophy/Political Science) need to be 1.5x the existing size, to

UW Richland Strategic Plan 2012-2017
UW-RICHLAND
STRATEGIC PLAN
2012 – 2017
Submitted February 29, 2012
UW-Richland Strategic Plan
UW-Richland’s Strategic Planning Process
The planning process for UW-Richland’s 2012-2017 Strategic Plan originated with the Steering Committee in
November 2010. It was decided that Patrick Hagen, CEO/Dean, would team up with two Strategic Planning Cochairs. After extensive campus-wide discussion, Gail Hoffman, HES Professor, and George Henze, Senior
Student Services Coordinator, were appointed as Co-chairs by the Collegium. Dean Hagen agreed to
coordinate scheduling of meetings through his office. Together, Hoffman, Henze, and Hagen formed the
Executive Team that guided the process.
The Executive Team consulted with Steve Kohlstedt, Richland County Cooperative Extension, and identified
Paul Ohlrogge, Iowa County Cooperative Extension, as a possible consultant for the process. Mr. Ohlrogge
agreed to lend his expertise to the planning process.
The Executive Team, in consultation with Mr. Ohlrogge, determined that they wished to conduct a SWOT
analysis with a Focus Group made up of students, former students, community leaders, alumni, faculty, and
staff. In preparation for the analysis, Focus Group members were encouraged to study UW-Richland’s Mission
Statement. The Focus Group met for two hours on January 12, 2011. Mr. Ohlrogge provided the Group with
information on strategic planning and led it in a values discussion as well as a SWOT analysis. After the
meeting, members of the Focus Group were encouraged to join the Strategic Planning Committee.
Subsequently, Mr. Ohlrogge prepared a Summary Report and shared it with the Executive Team.
At UW-Richland’s Spring Retreat on January 18, the Executive Team led faculty and staff in a SWOT analysis.
Upon completion of the analysis, the Team shared the results of the Focus Group with the retreat participants.
A general discussion ensued, and the Executive Team recruited faculty and staff to join the Strategic Planning
Committee. The general understanding was that the values and SWOT analyses carried out by the Focus
Group and the faculty and staff at the Retreat would serve as a starting point for the work of the Strategic
Planning Committee. The stated goal was to complete the strategic planning process in five months.
Between January 18 and February 24, the Executive Team worked to put together a Strategic Planning
Committee. The committee would be made up of the following members: co-chairs (2); community members
(3); faculty members (2); academic staff members (2); student members (3); ex-officio members (2); and the
consultant, Mr. Paul Ohlrogge.
The Strategic Planning Committee held an extended meeting with the consultant in February and again in
April. The result of these two meetings was a 15-page “Strategic Planning Effort” document. Drafted by the
consultant, it laid out five strategic issues. The issues were refined and shaped into questions. The questions
provided the basis for five strategic themes: Theme 1: Buildings and Grounds; Theme 2: Student Recruitment
and Retention; Theme 3: Campus-Community Relations; Theme 4: Smart Farm Development and Usage; and
Theme 5: Faculty and Staff Recruitment and Retention.
At the June meeting, the Committee broke down into sub-committees based on the five strategic themes.
Each sub-committee was asked to develop Action Steps for its theme as well as anticipated potential barriers
to realizing the theme. A convener was assigned to each sub-committee. (At this point, it was clear that the
process could not be completed in five months, and a target date for October 1, 2011 was set.) At the close of
1
the June meeting, the sub-committees were asked to find additional members and meet at their convenience
during the summer. Each sub-committee was asked to complete its strategic theme work by September 1,
2011. The work of the consultant was complete as of the June meeting.
Upon receiving the strategic theme results from the sub-committees, the Executive Team met with the
conveners of each group to discuss the results. After that meeting, it was agreed that the Executive Team
would work to refine the strategic themes and prepare a strategic and operational plan. In the interim, Dean
Hagen shared the initial results with Dr. Jane Crisler, UW Colleges Development Officer. Dr. Crisler
recommended that the Executive Team add a sixth theme that addressed improving the academic program.
This recommendation was welcomed by the Executive Team. The sixth theme drew from the “Strategic
Planning Effort” document and the results of meetings with faculty and staff.
In the process of developing the Plan, the term “theme” was shifted to “goal.” The plan, as it’s currently
presented, consists of six goals.
The Context
The UW-Richland Strategic Plan was produced in response to SWOT analyses done with both the Focus Group
and the faculty and staff at the 2011 Spring Retreat. With a few exceptions, the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats identified by the Focus Group appeared again in the SWOT analysis completed by
the faculty and staff. As would be expected, the faculty and staff were able to go into much more detail in
discussing these issues.
The discussion of resources centered on the fact that they have been scarce for some time and that they will
continue to be scarce in the future. The United States finds itself in the aftermath of the “Great Recession”
and the State of Wisconsin is facing a significant budget deficit. There is concern that the lack of raises and the
decrease of benefits will make it difficult to retain faculty and staff, as well as recruit them in the first place.
Low salaries and decreasing benefits, together with a lack of cultural diversity in Richland Center, make it
especially difficult to recruit diverse faculty and staff. It was expressed that the new Integrated Enrollment
Management (IEM) budget model may offer opportunities for growing campus revenue. In terms of human
resources, participants recognized that faculty and staff often feel “spread too thin” as they attempt to do
more because of rising expectations in the new budget model. At the same time, people were quick to point
out the esprit de corps that defines the campus culture. With respect to natural resources, there was concern
that UW-Richland could do more in making the campus sustainable. In terms of technology, it was suggested
that the campus needs to make strides in offering a wider variety of tools that support 21st century teaching.
The Smart Farm was cited as a great asset whose value still needs to be realized in terms of the mission of the
college.
In terms of the recruitment and retention of students, participants recognized that UW-Richland operates in a
competitive marketplace. The Wisconsin Technical College System represents a threat as many of its
institutions expand their liberal arts offerings and position themselves as transfer institutions. Madison Area
Technical College (now Madison College) is the most significant threat to UW-Richland. In addition, the
number of high school graduates is decreasing and will continue to do so until 2015. Furthermore, as the price
of college tuition goes up and the amount of personal debt grows exponentially, the value of a liberal arts
2
education becomes questioned by certain segments of the general public. Participants pointed out that UWRichland’s tuition had been frozen for four years and that it is the lowest in the UW System. The importance of
the Campus View Dormitories in recruiting and retaining students was also noted. Many pointed to the fact
that UW-Richland can offer the first two years of a personalized, high-quality liberal arts education at a much
lower cost than private residential colleges. Another strength of UW-Richland is its tradition in educating
international students. It was recommended that the campus pursue growth in the area of independent
international students to offset the current regional high-school demographics. Independent international
students help diversify the campus, and they pay out-of-state tuition which is a significant financial benefit
since the campus keeps $.75 for every $1 paid above in-state tuition. Other potential opportunities include
the growth of the Latino population in the region and the introduction of the Bachelor of Applied Arts and
Sciences (BAAS).

Executive Summary
The current campus master plan is outdated. In the spring of 2012, the campus
will be hiring a firm to create an updated campus master plan. The master
planning process will be supported by $15,000 from Richland County and
$15,000 from Central. The remaining costs will be paid by the Richland County
Campus Foundation. The process will draw from UW-Richland’s Strategic Plan.
Given that the master planning process is imminent, it was decided that it would
be prudent to create a Planning Issues and Solutions section for the current
report that lays out issues and solutions. This section does not, however,
present a time frame for the period under review (2013-2019). Once the master
plan is complete, the issues and solutions presented in this report will be
revisited and a new version of this section will be created to reflect the results of
the master plan. At that time, a schedule will be developed that reflects the
period from 2013-2019.
There are a number of facilities projects that are of immediate concern. In the
spring of 2011, a new classroom was added to the Miller Memorial Library (Room
315). Plans are being completed now to outfit the classroom through a statefunded capital equipment allocation the amount of $120,000. It is anticipated that
this Smart classroom will be operational starting with Summer School in 2012.
The Campus View dormitories are in need of expansion. The CEO/Dean is
currently working with the Campus View Board to gather data to support the
building of a new dormitory. Expansion in this area is essential if UW-Richland is
to meet the needs of its students and increase its international student
population. With respect to the campus’s servers, it has been determined that
new network servers need to be installed on campus in the immediate future.
The county-funded concrete project connecting East Hall with the campus is
being studied by FEMA. It is anticipated that FEMA’s recommendations will be
sent on soon and that the project will be completed in 2012. Finally, UWRichland is currently undergoing an Investment Grade Audit. Honeywell/ESG will
be presenting the results to the campus in January 2012. If the audit is approved
by the Department of State Facilities, the Board of Regents, and the Governor,
the project, in the amount of approximately $300,000, will begin during the
summer of 2012. If implemented, this project is expected to save UW-Richland
approximately $35,000 in electricity and water costs per year.
Once the UW-Richland Strategic Plan is finalized in January 2012, it is possible
that additional items will be identified with respect to facilities.

Brief Campus History and Structure
A.
Campus History, Background
1. Campus Creation/Founding
The University of Wisconsin-Richland has its roots in a century-long
County commitment to higher education, beginning with the Richland
County Teachers College, founded in 1903, and continuing with UWRichland.
In a Resolution of the Richland County Board of Supervisors on July 22,
1964, with the closing of the Richland County Teachers College imminent,
the Board resolved unanimously (27-0) to provide for the purchase of land
for the construction of a branch campus of the Wisconsin State University
System in or near Richland Center. As part of the same resolution, the
Richland County Board requested that the Wisconsin Coordinating
Committee on Higher Education establish this branch campus of the
Wisconsin State University-Platteville during the 1965-67 biennium.
Over the next two years, while planning the branch campus with state and
university officials, the Richland County Board purchased for $100,000 a
135-acre site just northwest of Richland Center, selected the Madison
architectural firm of John J. Flad and Associates to design the campus,
and awarded the general construction contract to Kraemer Brothers of
Plain. Construction of the six campus buildings began in July, 1966 and
was completed during the fall of 1967 at a cost of $3,000,000. The
Richland Campus of the Wisconsin State University-Platteville opened
September 5, 1967, with an enrollment of 300 students.
With the 1971 merger law, the Richland campus lost its branch campus
relationship with Platteville and became one of the then fourteen
freshman-sophomore campuses of the University of Wisconsin Center
System, subsequently called the University of Wisconsin Centers and in
1997, renamed the University of Wisconsin Colleges. In 2005, the
Colleges were integrated with UW Extension to become one institution.
2.
State and Local Partnership
The agreement between the UW System and Richland County is
consistent with Wisconsin Statutes. The County constructs and maintains
the facility; and the System provides academic programming, teaching
and non-teaching staff, instructional equipment, and maintenance staffing
and supplies.
4
Throughout its history, the Richland campus has enjoyed solid support
from the Richland County Board and its liaison, the UW-Richland
Committee. The Committee works closely with the CEO/Dean, the
Assistant Dean for Administrative Services, and the Building and Grounds
Superintendent to assess campus needs and to prepare annual
maintenance budgets.
3. Campus Facilities History and Inventory
a. Original Construction
The original construction of the Richland campus in 1966-67 included six
buildings: an administration/faculty office building, a classroom building, a
science building, a student center/theater/music complex, a library, and a
gymnasium. The campus was built to accommodate about 500 students.
The initial goal was to provide a small-college atmosphere while procuring
the property necessary for future expansion.
b. Later Major Building Projects
Two major building projects, neither tied to state funding but both
significant to campus programs, were the Symons Recreation Complex
and the Campus View residence halls. The Symons Recreation
Complex, which opened in 1987, was built on campus land released to
Richland County by the Board of Regents. A 3,000 square-foot addition
to the Symons Recreation Complex was completed in 1998. This addition
provided new space for weight training and other fitness programs. The
Symons Recreation Complex is operated and maintained by the City and
County.
Two residence halls, known as the Campus View dorms, were opened in
1987 and 1988. They are located across Highway 14 from the campus.
Campus View was expanded in 1999 at a cost of $1.6 million dollars.
These residence halls provide housing for 118 students each academic
year and enable the campus to host special summer residential
programs. The Richland County Campus Foundation served as the
conduit for the private funds used to construct both facilities. The
residence halls are operated and maintained by Campus View
Corporation, a private, tax-exempt 501 (c) (2) agency that works in
cooperation with the Richland County Campus Foundation and campus
representatives to promote campus programs.
In 1998, the Richland County Campus Foundation funded an addition to
the Administration Building. This project, begun with $700,000 in private
funds and $200,000 in state funds, was completed in May 1998. 7,000
5
square feet were added to the building to meet student and faculty needs
and to provide a distance learning room on the campus.
In 2001, the Richland County Campus Foundation and Richland County
completed the remodeling and expansion of the Science Building. This
project doubled the size of the original building and added/updated labs,
and created a large distance education room. The building cost was
$2,239,842 and state capital equipment purchases were $780,000.
In 2007, the Richland County Board of Supervisors approved $800,000
for maintenance and repair projects to be accomplished from 2007-2009.
The following projects have been completed to date:
Roof replacement of the Miller Memorial Library, the Classroom
Building, the Wallace Student Center, the Roadrunner Gymnasium,
and Melvill Hall at a cost of $145,944.
Air conditioner units were replaced in the Coppertop Theatre (north
and south hallways) at a cost of $20,771.
Replacement of rooftop furnaces (6 per building) on the Classroom
Building, the Miller Memorial Library, and the old part of Melvill Hall
at a cost of $28,260.
Replacement of underground communications wiring and cables
connecting all six buildings was completed at a cost of $38,450.
Replacement of underground electrical wires which supply power
between each building was completed at a cost of $67,900.
Hot-water wash, clean, prime, and paint all campus drive through
bridges and foot bridge at a cost of $3,000.
Partial replacement of concrete was completed on campus
including:
o Gymnasium/Symons sidewalk (excavation work was done
to raise and fill in the ponding area)
o Student Center patio west entrance
o All areas around two planters in the patio area west of the
Roadrunner Cafe
o South Melvill sections
o South Melvill ramp to drive
o East of the Coppertop Theatre sections
o Library south sidewalk sections
o Library east sidewalk sections
o Northside of Classroom building sections
6
o Additional areas of sidewalk
o Partial replacement of concrete curbs
At a cost of $84,900.
Replacement of one basketball court and three tennis courts,
including an interlocking modular tile system with game lines and
updated lighting system at a cost of $160,260.40.
In October of 2009, the Richland County Board of Supervisors
entered into a contract with Vierbicher Planners/Engineers/Advisors,
of Reedsburg, WI to coordinate the design and bid documents of new
interior and exterior campus signs on campus. Scope of project: (1)
Campus-wide site visit taking inventory of existing signage and
proposed changes for new signage; (2) Researching and acquiring
municipal permits and working with the DOT; (3) Preparation of
bidding documents. Richland County authorized James Greeley
Signs to receive the bid. The project included two electronic signs –
one for Symons Recreation Complex and one for UW-Richland and all
new interior and exterior campus signs. The signage project was
completed in fall 2010 at a cost of $148, 536.05.
In May 2010 the Richland County Board approved Richard Burch
Concrete Company for $136,895.00 for concrete work. (In agreeing
to fund this project, the County contributed an additional $52, 895
because there was only $84,000 remaining of the $800,000 originally
funded.) Some of the concrete work was finished in the summer and
fall 2010. In fall 2010, the portion of the project connecting East Hall to
the campus was stopped by the City of Richland Center. This was
due to potential violations of the FEMA/DNR Floodplain Ordinances
regarding Brush Creek. Richland County hired Jewell Associates
Engineers, Inc of Spring Green to work with DNR and FEMA to obtain
approval for the project. Jewell’s current contract totals $6,475.00.
Project has passed through DNR and is now at FEMA. Goal is to
receive approval and finish the project in spring 2012.
In October of 2009, East Hall (formerly Richland County Health & Human
Services Building) was obtained from the county. This building adds 4400
7
square feet of space to the campus. The building was utilized as follows:
Offices and work areas for UW Extension;Expanded classroom for the Art
Department; MAC Computer Lab; Additional Smart Conference Room.
The above work was performed by David Foley Contracting at a cost of
$68,506.00. (Richland County Funded). The restrooms were remodeled
(handicap accessible) at a cost of $19,850.00 by Turn Key Builders
owned by David Schoen. (Richland County Funded).Offices vacated by
the move of UW-Extension were made available to campus faculty/staff at
Melvill Hall. Capital Equipment purchases for East Hall and the Melvill
Hall Offices were funded by the State at a cost of $151,430.11
In 2009, an additional family and handicap access bathroom in Wallace
Student Center was built in the vestibule at a cost of $28,975.00.
In 2009-2010, the north side roof of the entry to the Wallace Student
Center was insulated. The work was completed by All Foam at a cost of
$33,650.00 funded by the county.
From 2009-2011, a number of significant improvements were made to the
Joe and Mae (Senneke) Smart Farm by the Richland County Campus
Foundation. Projects included well drilling, the addition of a geothermal
heating and cooling system, the roofing of the house, the replacement of
doors, windows, and siding on the house, the insulation of the house, and
the addition of solar energy panels. These and other smaller
improvements were done at a cost of $156,877.00 to the Foundation.
In 2010-2011, a Library Computer Lab was constructed in the north end
of the Miller Memorial Library. County Funds were used to construct the
Lab walls as a cost of $4,627.50. The work was completed by Newberry
Carpentry, LLC.
In March 2011, a new classroom was added to the southeast corner of
the Miller Memorial Library. The wall construction, the electrical and other
miscellaneous items were done by Newberry Carpentry, LLC using
County funds. The cost amounted to $5,500.00.
c. Significant Changes of Use of Space
In the summer of 2009, the general computer access lab in Classroom
203 was moved to the Library. Then the teaching lab classroom 211 was
moved to classroom 203. As a result, the campus gained a traditional
classroom.
With UW-Extension relocating to East Hall, the vacated space in Melvill
Hall has been used for staff/faculty/IAS offices, storage area and a small
conference room.
8
In 2010-2011, an office was created for the Foundation assistant by
converting a coat storage area outside of the Dean’s office and adjacent
to the office of the Foundation’s Executive Secretary. (This project was
paid for by the Foundation at a cost of $4, 417.00)
In 2010-2011, a Library Computer Lab was constructed in the north
portion of the Miller Memorial Library.
In 2010-2011, the south portion of the Miller Memorial Library was
designated as a Tutoring Center.
In March 2011, the southeast portion of the Miller Memorial Library was
designated as a classroom (Room 315).
In May 2011, a small study room in the Miller Memorial Library was
designated as a Place of Worship.
d. Significant Remodeling Projects, Greater than $50,000
per Project
Within the last five years, there have been no major projects costing
greater than $50,000.
e. UW Colleges Funded Laboratory Modernization,
Classroom Modernization, Computer Access Projects,
Greater than $5,000 per Project
Older:
In 2004-2005, a classroom modernization grant of $18,345 was approved
to provide a “thin client” solution, wherein performance of approximately
60 existing classroom laptops was boosted by operating them as thin
clients to a powerful terminal server instead of standalone work stations.
Two dual-processor servers, client licenses, and 16 hybrid thin client
terminals and LCD monitors were newly acquired for this project.This took
place in the Science building.
The 2005-2006 grant approval amount of $30,821 was designed to equip
Science Building classroom 105 with a multi-tiered lecture room with 42
thin-client computers at student seating locations to support computerdelivered instructional aids in courses characterized by large enrollments.
In addition, the campus was allocated $28,500 from the revolving general
computer access fund to upgrade the computers in the student general
access computer laboratory (Room 211).
9
Most Recent Three Years:
In 2008-2009 the Lab Modernization/Classroom Modernization program
was changed from a grant-based competitive process to one that
distributes the funding out to all campuses on an annual basis. The
campus funding for 2008-2009 was for $13,598. The Steering Committee
approved a new light board for the auditorium, chemistry data collection
sensors and art room renovation and equipment upgrades.
In 2009-2010, the campus received computer access funds of $30,151 to
upgrade the computers in the Student General Access Computer
Laboratory in the Library.
In 2010-2011, the following acquisitions were made for the biology
department using lab mod funds: 1) biotech instruction starter balance at
a cost of $8, 309.00; 2) DNA electrophoresis lab set at a cost of
$2000.00; and 3) biology models (left leg and human eye in orbit) at a cost
of $2, 280.00.
B. Campus Facility-related Governance Structure
1. Administrative Organization
At UW-Richland, the CEO/Dean works closely with the campus Assistant
Dean for Administrative Services and the campus Steering Committee in
preparing recommendations for facilities planning. Recommendations are
made to the Richland County Board, the Richland County Campus
Foundation, the UW Colleges Vice-Chancellor for Administrative and
Financial Services and the UW-Extension UW Colleges Chancellor.
2. Facilities Planning Committee
The UW-Richland Steering Committee, which includes three faculty
members, one academic staff member, and one student, serves as the
campus Facilities Planning Committee. This committee consults with the
campus Collegium and others as needed and makes recommendations to
the CEO/Dean regarding facilities use and development.
3. Local Government, Facilities Governance Interface
To widen representation and to assign specific projects, the Steering
Committee recommends the appointment of ad hoc committees. For
instance, in spring 1992, with Steering approval, the dean appointed a
twelve-member Campus Expansion Planning Committee that included
faculty, staff, and students, as well as members of the Richland County
Board, Richland County Extension, and the Richland County Campus
Foundation. This committee’s work resulted in a county-funded needs
10
assessment and a design by Taliesin architects for expanding and
remodeling the Administration Building. During 1994-95, nine faculty
members from the fine arts, music, natural sciences, psychology, and
physical education formed a Lab Needs Committee and prepared a report
for use by the Steering Committee in campus planning.
In spring 1996, after the Richland County Campus Foundation raised
private funds for an addition to the Administration Building, the Steering
Committee recommended and the dean appointed a five-member
Building Expansion Committee to work directly with Taliesin Architects to
design the addition. This committee included the Chair of the Steering
Committee, the President of the Student Senate, the Campus Business
Manager, a member of the Richland County Campus Foundation, and a
member of the Richland County Board. Meetings of this Committee were
called and chaired by the campus dean. Recommendations were made
to the dean, who served as the liaison in working with the Collegium, the
Richland County Campus Foundation, the Richland County Board,
architects, contractors, and others. In a similar fashion, in spring 1998,
the Science Building Planning committee was formed and its work
resulted in the $3.2M expanded and remodeled Science Building.
In 2002, BWZ Architects designed a report for building a University
Services Center and remodeling the Wallace Student Center into a Fine
Arts Center. The BWZ report needs to be reviewed and updated when
funding is obtained.
These examples demonstrate the way the CEO/Dean works directly with
the principal constituencies and speaks for the campus in making
recommendations to the Richland County Board, the Richland County
Campus Foundation, and the Chancellor’s office.
C.
Campus Guiding Principles
As a Regents’ designated Integrated Learning Community, the Richland
campus strives to develop cooperative, coherent, and comprehensive
approaches to education that enhance student access and achievement
and build on the special needs and assets of people, places, and
programs. In facilities planning, as in other initiatives, an effort is made to
be inclusive in consultation, open in discussion, and fair in decisionmaking so that, in developing physical facilities to serve students and the
community, the greatest good can be accomplished for the greatest
number.
11
III.
Infrastructure: Issues and Solutions
A. Mechanicals/Infrastructure
1. Heating
Roof-top furnace units were replaced in 2009 on the Administration, Science,
Classroom, and Library buildings. Instead of the Carrier units, the campus now
has 18 household Bryant furnaces. Furnace specifications are Bryant brand,
91% efficient (5 units are Model #340AAV036060; 3 units are Model
#3440AAV048080; and 10 units are Model #340AAV0600100). In1999-2000,
the state-subsidized Honeywell project improved the heat and utility efficiencies.
Two Carrier rooftop units, Model #48TJD016 were installed in the Melvill Hall
addition in 1998. These are 81% efficient. As part of the WEI project, Honeywell
installed four control damper units in 2000 to improve the comfort in Melvill Hall.
Another ten units were installed in 2001, 9 units in 2002 and 6 units in 2003 by
the County for a total of 29 units.
The Roadrunner Gymnasium and Wallace Student Center have Cleaver Brooks
boilers, which are original equipment and are over 44 years old. They are 80%
efficient, model #760-80. The units are well-maintained and monitored daily and
present no apparent problems. With the University Services Center/Fine Arts
Expansion Project, the boiler will be analyzed. Original boiler pump (6 units)
needs to be considered for replacement in 5 years.
In 2001, Science Building added 2 thermo/solution boilers (Mod#EVH-1000.)
East Hall has 3 Bryant gas furnaces that were installed approximately 1989
(#398AAZ0360 (80,)) 2002 (350MAV060 (60,)) and 2004 (350MAV048 (100)).
2. Humidification
Carnes humidifier units were installed in the library (approximately 8800 square
feet of coverage) and in the music classroom and instrument storage room
approximately 1000 square feet of coverage) in 1987. The Science Building
project upgraded and installed an electric steam humidifier, Dri steam brand,
model #VLD1, in 2000-2001.
3. Ventilation
Air handler units were updated, along with the furnaces, in 1987. The County
installed a $4,000 ventilation unit in the art studio (room 214/Classroom Building)
in 2000 to eliminate noxious fumes (approximately 750 square feet of coverage).
12
In 2000-2001, the Science Building upgraded to a single-air handler unit, a Trane
brand name, modular climate change model.
4. Air Conditioning
Two air conditioning units were updated in 1987 in the Administration, Library,
and Classroom buildings. Two units (15 tons each) were added to the
Administration (Melvill Hall) addition in 1998. In 2009, the County installed one
new air conditioning unit in the kitchen (Lennox #13ACD-048-230-11.) A new
system in the cafeteria area which consisted of three (3) Lennox units, five tons
each, model #HS29. The Science Building project installed a new Trane brand
name, 60 ton, RAUCC604B unit. In 2008, air conditioner units in the
CoppertopTheatre were replaced in the north and south hallways (Lennox
#7CA102S2BN1G.) East Hall has 3 AC units; 2 Trane (RAVC-202A, RAVC406A), and 1 Carrier unit (38CKB060S10.) which will need to replaced in the
future. As recommended by Central IT staff in 2011 a separate 1 ½ ton Carrier
air conditioning unit was placed in the Science Building in the network room.
5. Dehumidification
At present there is no fixed dehumidification unit on campus. Two
portable units are periodically used in Melvill Hall.
6. CFC and HCFC Refrigerants
These units are on the UW-Richland campus:
7 household refrigerators with R12 refrigerants, installation date
unknown
1 household deep freezer, R12 refrigerant, installation date unknown
3 household deep freezers, R134A refrigerants, installed 2006
8 10-ton air conditioners, R22 refrigerants, installed 1987
2 2-ton air conditioners, R 22 refrigerants, installed 1987
2 15-ton air conditioners, R22 refrigerants, installed 1998
2 salad bar units, R12 refrigerants, installation date unknown
1 ice making unit, R402B, installed 1998
1 ice making unit, R134A, installed 2005
1 refrigerator unit (commercial), R-134A, 2003
1 deep freezer unit (commercial), R-409, 1995
1 pass-through refrigerator unit (commercial), R-12, installation date
unknown
Plans to Achieve Compliance if CFC-based: Compliance will be achieved
incrementally as units are replaced as needed.
13
7. Electrical Service(s)
Electric service wires and feeders were replaced between each building in
2008 from special bond funding from the County.
8. Interior Lighting
In 1985, the exterior and gymnasium lighting were changed from mercury
to high pressure sodium. In 1999-2000, Honeywell, WEI-3 project,
changed all of the T-12 fluorescents to the energy savings T-8
fluorescents.
9. Emergency Lighting
There is one back-up natural gas generator for all campus buildings. This
system is 44 years old which is in need of an update of the complete
system in the next 10 years.
10. Interior
The generator runs approximately 12 lamps per building to provide a
lighted exit at the buildings.
11. Exterior
There is no emergency lighting on the exterior of the buildings or on the
campus grounds. Additional lighting will be installed with County funds to
increase campus safety.
12. Parking Lots
There is no emergency lighting in the parking lots. The parking lots were
resealed in 2008.
13. Doorways
The interiors of building doorways and exit lights are illuminated by the
emergency generator.
14. Computer Network and Distance Education Wiring
All campus buildings utilize Category 5 data cabling. The building-tobuilding data links are 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic, which is slated to
14
be upgraded to 50 micron fiber optic during the fiscal year under a
Country-funded upgrade project. The
All campus buildings utilize Category 5 data cabling. The building-to-core
network closet data links are 50 micron multimode, laser-optimized fiber
optic cable, where the Science Hall and Student Center have a 12-pair
connection and all others have 6 pairs. A 6-pair 50 micron multimode,
laser-optimized fiber optic link was recently installed connecting the
Science Hall server room to East Hall. East Hall premises network wiring
was completed in fall 2009 for modifications to the interior floor plan.
Existing Category 5 wiring to the building’s south offices was retained.
802.11B/G wireless networking is available throughout all campus
buildings. A wireless access point for East Hall was procured in November
2009 and was installed.
15. Audio/Visual Distribution Systems
All classrooms, the Pippin Conference Center, and the cafeteria have
audio/ video projection systems.
The Coppertop Theatre has a 5000 lumen, long-throw projector that
integrates with the existing theatre sound system. An accessory cart that
allows for DVD/VHS and computer projection is attached as needed for
events.
A new, 24-station combination classroom and computer lab was added
within the library.
16. Energy Distribution Systems (electric, gas, etc.)
The main system is checked by the local utility company and each building
has its own breaker panels and transformers. Repairs will be made as
needed. Electrical wiring to Melvill Hall, the Library, the Classroom
Building, and the Student Center was replaced in 2008.
17. Energy Conservation
The state-sponsored Honeywell project was completed in 2000. As part of
the WEI project, Honeywell will change the T-12 fluorescent system to the
more efficient T-8 with electronic ballasts. Honeywell installed a low
budget EMS system in all buildings to control the heating and cooling
system to conserve fuel costs. All of the campus general-access lab
computers are shut down in the evenings by a centralized management
server.
15
UW-Richland contracted with Honey/ESG starting in 2011 to do an energy
pre-audit. That was completed in May 2011. It was projected that UWRichland could save $35,000 a year in energy use if a project were
completed as part of the Wisconsin Performance Contract. In June 2011,
the Department of Administration/Department of Start Facilities signed a
contract on behalf of UW-Richland to complete an Investment Grade
Audit. A Mid-Audit was presented to UW-Richland in November 2011.
Honeywell/ESG will share the results of the Investment Grade Audit with
UW-Richland in January 2012. UW-Richland anticipates approval by the
Department of Administration and hopes to complete a project during
2012.
18. Energy Management Systems
In 1999-2000, the Honeywell project addressed placing a low budget EMS
system in each building (except Science) to control heating and cooling
systems.
19. Emergency Generator Status
The generator is original equipment (over 44 years old) and has had some
problems in the past, but is in good operational condition at present.
Suggest replacement within 5 years. The generator is tested quarterly.
19. Plumbing
There have been repairs to the 44-year-old plumbing system over the
years. Repairs are made as needed.
20. Distilled Water
With the 2000-2001 Science Building moveable equipment list, we
purchased an Economy Water Still, model #4L/HR1100.
21. Windows
All windows are original (over 42 years old) except those in the additions
to Melvill Hall and Science Hall. The energy audit found all windows to be
adequate.
22. Roofing
The copper roofs are original (over forty years old), and have small cracks
which are repaired as needed. The penthouse flat areas were replaced in
1999 with $8,000 in County funds. In 2008, the roofs were replaced in the
16
Library (however the area over the front desk was done in 2007), the
Classroom Building, Student Center, Roadrunner Gymnasium building,
Melvill Hall, and penthouses. In 2009, the East Hall main roof was
shingled and a membrane was put on the flat area of the roof.
23. Fascia and Soffits
There are small cracks being repaired, as needed, with the coppercovered fascias. Soffits were painted in 2010. In 2009, in the gym (west,)
the soffit/fascia was replaced by an insurance claim.
24. Elevators
None.
25. Telephones
The Mitel system was purchased as part of the Administration Building
Expansion and Remodeling project in 1998.
The building-to-core network closet 25, 50 and 100 pair connections were
replaced in a county-funded project during the summer of 2008 to resolve
problems with some failing underground splicers. In November 2009, a
25-pair copper connection was installed connecting East Hall to the
Science Hall phone termination backboard, enabling campus phone
system lines to East Hall.
26. Switch
In July, 1998, the campus purchased a Mitel Superconsole 1000 SX-2000
telephone system for $43,976 as part of the Administration Building
Addition and Remodeling project. With the University Services
Center/Fine Arts Expansion and Renovation project, a new switch will be
considered for purchase.
27. STS Lines
UW-Richland is no longer on the STS program. The Mitel telephone
system is undergoing a state agency long distance conversion. This is a
conversion from AT&T to CenturyLink. Conversion is a lengthy process
which CenturyLink and Wisconsin Department of Administration anticipate
will be completed in early 2012. This conversion includes UW-Richland’s
Long Distance Access T1.
29. Voice Mail
17
The original Mitel Superconsole 1000 SX-2000 telephone system did not
include a voice mail system. In 2002, a Mitel 3000 voice mail and auto
attendant system was added to the telephone system.
30. Voice/Data/Distance Education Compatibility
All campus buildings utilize Category 5 data cabling. The building-to-core
network closet data links are 50 micron multimode, laser-optimized fiber
optic cable, where the Science Hall and Student Center have a 12-pair
connection and all others have 6 pairs. A 6-pair 50 micron multimode,
laser-optimized fiber optic link was recently installed connecting the
Science Hall server room to East Hall. East Hall premises network wiring
will be expanded later this fiscal year as needed for modifications to the
interior floor plan. Existing Category 5 wiring to the building’s south offices
will be retained. Colleges-wide LAN upgrade funds dispersed in spring
2005 provided a new layer 3 core switch for the data network; the same
funds also provided gigabit fiber modules necessary to connect most of
the outlying building switches to the core switch. Gigabit fiber modules for
the remaining outlying building switches have since been installed.
Consequently, network backbone connections to all buildings run gigabit
Ethernet. In the summer of 2006, a fiber optic 10mb data uplink to the
Badgernet Converged Network (BCN) was installed, and all distanceeducation A/V traffic and data traffic were moved to this connection.
Introduction of the BCN uplink eliminated the two T1 lines that previously
carried DE and data traffic.
31. Fuel Storage Tanks
The underground fuel tank was removed in 1991 and the DNR gave UWRichland a clean site status.
32 Fire Alarm System(s)
New alarm systems are being installed during remodeling projects. The
addition to Melvill Hall received a new system in 1998 and the old portion
of Melvill Hall was connected to the new system by the County in 2001. In
2001, the Science Building received a new fire alarm system. The system
functions as an internal alert; however, it is not connected to the local fire
department. A fire alarm system is being reviewed for upgrading for East
Hall.
33. Building Locks and Security
18
In 2007, a new exterior door locknetic Van Duprin fob system was
purchased from Bonafide Safe and Lock for $12,167 with County funds.
Interior locks need to be replaced in the near future. Security checks at
UW-Richland are conducted by maintenance personnel and the local city
police.
34. Campus Storage, Shelving, etc.
Storage is limited for all departments. Additional storage space is a
priority in current and future remodeling and building projects.
B. Health and Safety
The Campus has an Emergency Action plan with delineated procedures
and contacts in the event of threats to security or personal injuries. First
aid supplies are available in each campus building. Men’s and women’s
restrooms serve as severe weather shelters in each building. Safety
showers and eye wash stations in the chemistry lab are checked at least
once a month. Safety training for maintenance and other personnel is
provided by video, on-line training, and periodic on- and off-campus
seminars. One defibrillator was purchased for the Gymnasium and
another for the Wallace Student Center. The campus instituted fire drills
in the fall and tornado drills in the spring. Various items of safety
equipment are purchased when institutional funds are available. In April
2001, a Campus Safety Committee was formed to enhance our campus
environment for employees, students, and community members by
addressing environmental health and safety concerns. The network
administrator completed and implemented a design of a centrallycontrolled campus-wide emergency notification system. In addition
effective spring 2012, an e-Alert UW-Richland will be used to provide
students, faculty and staff with e-mail and text-via-cell phone notification of
weather, related campus closings or safety emergencies.
C . Fume Hoods
As part of the Science Building Expansion and Remodeling project in 2000, five
new chemistry hoods were installed. Inspections are done annually.
D. Americans with Disabilities Act Access
As remodeling projects are completed, ADA codes are met. Melvill Hall was
made ADA compliant in 1998. The Science Building was brought into
19
compliance with remodeling and expansion in 2000. ADA access is still an issue
in bathrooms in the Classroom Building, the Library, and Gymnasium. In 2009,
a uni-sex handicapped restroom was installed in the student center. In 2001, the
County installed auto-door systems in the Library and Classroom Buildings; in
2002, Melvill Hall; in 2005, the Student Center; and in 2007, the Gymnasium.
E. Asbestos
The only known asbestos on campus is located on some of the heat pipes and
this will be replaced at the time of needed repair by authorized asbestos-removal
contractors.
F. Other Code-compliance Issues
The sprinkling system in the Coppertop Theatre was replaced at the cost of
$10,000 from County funds in 2000. Inspections are done annually.
G. Maintenance Issues, including Maintenance Costs, Staffing, Equipment
Budgets may need to be increased in the future because of inflation factors.
Staffing needs to be reviewed because of the 7,000 square-foot addition to the
Administration building, the 9,050 square-foot addition to the Science Building,
and the addition of 4400 square foot of East Hall. A more systematic equipment
replacement plan is needed and is under development by the campus.
H. Campus Security: People, Equipment, Buildings
1. Variable Times for Open Areas
There are no problems with the existing policies.
2. Audible and Visual Alarm Systems: Security, Hazard Warnings,
etc; ADA Compliant
The campus IT department has designed and implemented a centrally-controlled,
campus-wide emergency notification system. The system utilizes a campus
website as the notification medium. Distributed siren and strobe signals serve as
the notice to check the website for the event and event-response information. All
campus computers have a shortcut for this website on their desktop, and added
to their Internet Explorer “favorites.” The intent is to bi-annually train all faculty,
staff, and students to immediately check the notification website on the nearest
computer. Using two distinct audible/visual alarm signals, the system provides
separate notifications for tornado events and for hostile-persons events. In
addition effective spring 2012, e-Alert UW-Richland will be used to provide
students, factuly and staff with e-mail and text-via-cell phone notification of
weather, related campus closings or safety emergencies.
20
I. Interior Building “Landscape”
1. Signage
The replacement and addition of interior and exterior signage was completed
during the fall of 2010. This project was funded by the County.
2. Traffic Patterns (interior)
There are no interior traffic pattern problems at UW-Richland.
3. Floor Surfaces (carpet, tile, …)
About 50% of the floor surfaces (carpeting and tile) are in need of replacement
(approximate cost of $100,000) which will be done over time with the annual
County maintenance budget.
4. Wall Surfaces
Some wall surfaces could be replaced ($10,000) to enhance the décor and visual
appearance of campus.
5. Ceiling Surfaces
Approximately 50% of the ceiling areas need repair or replacement ($60,000) to
improve appearance.
6. Aesthetic Considerations
Decor of wall surfaces and finishes are dated in places by styles and materials of
1967.
J. Exterior Building and Grounds
1.
Building Construction
a. Structural Integrity
Campus buildings are all fundamentally sound.
b. Mortar
All buildings are over 44 years old but are structurally sound More repairs
seem likely in the years ahead (caulking, tuck pointing, etc. @ $7501,000/year.) These repairs will be paid by County funds.
21
c.
Signage
Project completed fall 2010.
d. Campus and Building Entrances
Modification of roofs over existing entrances is needed to prevent the
hazard of falling ice and snow. The cost of this work has been estimated
at $60,000. A less dramatic and less expensive approach --creating an
insulated, cold roof -- has been used in the new entrance to Melvill Hall
and seems to have helped the problem there. Similar insulation is
planned in the other buildings as well. The Student Center west entrance
slope was insulated (spray on) in 2003 to help alleviate the melting and
sliding ice and snow problem. The north roof of the Student Center was
insulated in 2010.
e. Lighting
Annual night walks have addressed the lighting concerns. In the 2001
County budget, two 19’ pole lights were added for the walkway to the
residence halls. In 2007, one 19’ pole was added to the east parking lot.
In 2008 the Safety Committee recommended additional patio lighting to be
installed. When County funds become available this project will be
completed. In 2009-2010, additional exterior lighting for East Hall was
added. The fall 2011 Safety Walk did not detect a need for any further
lighting for security purposes.
f. Safety
Richland County spent $44,000 in 1998 and $84,900 in 2008 to repair and
replace concrete walks to improve pedestrian safety. Additional concrete
work still needs to be done.
g. Landscaping
Landscaping is done through financial support of the Richland County
Campus Foundation and through building projects. The entrance area of
Melvill Hall was landscaped with $4,000 in Foundation funds in 2000;
eighteen trees were replaced in the west parking lot campus with $4,500
Foundation funds in 2001; and the Science Building was landscaped in
the fall of 2001 with $2,975 from the Science Building project.
h. Traffic Patterns (exterior traffic flows)
22
A surfaced pathway from the adjacent high school to the campus was
completed in 2002. This work was done as a National Guard project, with
no expense to the campus, county, or state. The pathway improves
student access to our programs and facilities.
There is persistent concern about the safety of Campus View residents
crossing Highway 14. In 2007, the City of Richland Center received
approval from the Department of Transportation to paint a crosswalk and
add speed limit signs on Highway 14. The City is still working with the
DOT to lower the speed limit. The City of Richland Center sought a federal
grant in 2010-2011 to build a bridge over Highway 14, but the grant
proposal was not funded. The DOT Highway 14 reconstruction project
slated for 2013 will include left turn lanes and a raised median at the
intersection between UW Highway 14 and the main entrance to UWRichland. This should improve safety for students crossing Highway 14
and coming to the campus.
i. Parking and Parking Lots
There are no problems with our existing parking situation. Parking lots
were resurfaced in 1996 and 2003, 2008, with plans to again be
resurfaced in 2013. In 2011 repairs of blacktop service ultra heat patching
was completed on the campus parking lots and drives at a cost of $3,100
to the County.
j. Transportation (public, commercial)
There is no city bus service to the campus.
k. Bicycle Racks
There is only one bicycle rack on campus. One more bicycle rack may be
needed ($500) near the south entrance to the Student Center.
l. Outdoor Seating Areas
When the campus was built, two permanent benches were placed in front
of the library. In November 1998, the Student Senate purchased four
redwood benches for $3,148. They were placed near the entrances to
Melvill Hall, the Classroom Building, and the Science Building. In spring,
summer, and fall, five moveable patio table/ seat/umbrella units are placed
on the Wallace Student Center concrete patio.
m. Garbage and Recycling Storage Area(s)
23
Town and Country Sanitation furnishes two large dumpsters (one for
garbage and one for paper and cardboard) and four smaller containers to
hold recyclables (aluminum, glass, tin, and plastic.) All dumpsters and
containers are located behind the campus buildings near Symons
Recreation Complex and are emptied on Mondays and Thursdays.
n. Physical Plant Garage Area
The campus garage consists of only 650 square feet with a ceiling height
of 16 feet. It is used to maintain and store fleet vehicles and types of
equipment such as a welder, torch, grinder, vise, and various hand tools.
o.
Vehicle and Equipment Storage
Because of the limited garage space, only the pickup truck and mowers
are stored in the garage area. The campus fleet consists of one rental car
which is kept outside the garage in the maintenance parking area. In the
future, the campus hopes to expand the garage area to include storage
for the car. Approximately twenty-five years ago, a pole shed was built
north of the main campus for storage.
p.
Area Directional Signage
Signs have been installed near Melvill Hall to direct visitors to specific
offices and services, including Student Services, Business Services, the
Dean's Office, and Continuing Education. Replacement of all campus
directional signage was completed in 2010.
The City put up two directional highway signs to the campus on Main
Street (State Hwy 80/56). An additional sign on the Highway 14 bypass in
Richland Center is still needed.
K. Physical Property and Land Holdings
1.
Campus Open Space
With only eight buildings on 136.44 acres (including East Hall of 1.44
acres,) the Richland campus has nearly 100 acres of open space that
could be used for additional buildings, expansion of current buildings, or
enlarged or new parking lots. The land could also be further landscaped
or restored as arboretum or prairie. Brush Creek, a native trout stream,
runs through the campus. The creek and woods and prairie provide sites
for natural resources and environmental studies.
2. Arboretum(s)
24
The campus arboretum and prairie have been maintained by a campuscommunity volunteer committee and maintenance staff, with help from the
volunteer fire department and DNR officials. The Richland County
Campus Foundation funds periodic labor costs.
3. Public Use Spaces, e.g., Bike Trails, Ball Fields, etc.
The campus includes playing fields for soccer, tennis courts, a basketball
court, and marked hiking trails. These are open to the public and
frequently used by community groups for club sports, by Richland Center
High School for physical education classes, and by interested individuals.
In 2008, complete replacement of three tennis courts and one refurbished
basketball court was done.
4. Boundary Issues
It is significant that the Richland Center High School is adjacent to our
campus. The construction of a paved pathway linking our campuses was
done for the County and school district by the National Guard in spring,
2002. Symons Recreation Complex hopes to put on an addition in the
near future.
5. Surplus Physical Property (land)
The Richland campus makes good use of all its property, so none is
considered surplus.
6. Alternate Uses of Property Areas
40 acres of farmland are rented to Rick Burkhamer at the price of $2,600
per year. This rental income helps support UW-Richland’s maintenance
department.
7. Addition of the SMART Farm
On August 5, 2009, the Joe and Mae Senneke Smart Farm came under
the ownership of the Richland County Campus Foundation. This was due
to a bequest of Mae Senneke Smart whose date of death was February 9.
2006. Joe Smart was one of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Richland County Teachers College and campaigned for the creation of
UW-Richland. The farm consists of 198 acres, house, barn, two sheds,
and a garage with living quarters. It is located approximately five miles
from UW-Richland on highway 14 west. The property will be for exclusive
25
use for UW-Richland and its collaborative partners. The farm provides
additional learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff in a variety
of disciplines.
L. Furniture
Though sturdy, most of the furniture is original to the buildings, dating
back to 1967, and therefore is old-fashioned in style and function, not
suited to computers and other modern learning devices and not attractive
by current standards of office and classroom décor. The plan is to
purchase new furniture while remodeling and expanding old buildings, as
was done in Melvill Hall and the Science Building. State funds will need to
be the primary source for these purchases, though private sources are
also an option. In 2005, new tables and chairs were purchased for the
Student Center from state special funds and continuing education funds.
New furniture for East Hall the art department, Mac lab, and shared space
with UW Extension, and a portion of Melvill Hall (where UW-Extension
was located) will need to be purchased when we receive approvable from
the state.
M. Surplus Equipment
Rummage sales have removed the majority of campus surplus equipment.
SWAP (Surplus with a Purpose), a state surplus program, is currently
being utilized.
IV. Planning Issues and Solutions
A. Planning Issues and Solutions
1. Overview of Campus Planning Issues, Solutions, Priorities
The primary goal of the Richland campus in facilities planning is to add to and
remodel space to promote educational and cultural programs that will attract
students and faculty to the campus, enhance learning through instructional
technology, provide distance-learning connections with other schools and
colleges, and enable the campus to serve as a community cultural center. As an
Integrated Learning Community, the Richland campus wants to transform and
add space to facilitate collaborative learning on campus and with the community.
The 1998 expansion of the Administration building (renamed Melvill Hall), which
provides space that encourages interconnections among administration,
26
students, faculty, staff, and community members, was a good first step in this
process.
Recent enrollment concerns and the replacement of retired faculty members,
including nearly all those in the natural sciences, made our needs more urgent.
To attract students and faculty and to provide 21st century instruction, the
Science Building was expanded and remodeled in 2000-2001. To provide
appropriate instruction in music, art, and theater and to serve the larger
community, the existing Student Center/ Music/Theater complex needs to be
remodeled, adding the art program, to provide a Fine Arts Center. In order to
develop the appropriate fine arts instructional and performance space, a new
University Services Center needs to be built to provide space for essential
student activities and support services with a modernized kitchen and dining
area. In addition, classrooms across the campus need to be redesigned and
equipped with updated multi-media instructional equipment and the gymnasium
floor needs to be replaced. These efforts will create a first-rate academic
environment for faculty and students and greatly enhance educational and
cultural assets in our area.
In addition to the need for a new University Services Center and a remodeled
Music/Theater/Art complex, there is also a need for increased and remodeled
space in the Gymnasium for physical education classes in conditioning and
weight training. The maintenance area in the Gymnasium needs a loading dock
and storage area for receiving, shipping, and storing supplies. A place to store
and repair instructional technology is also needed.
The campus plans to meet its needs by raising support and funds from the public
and private sectors to construct a new University Services Center and to develop
a Fine Arts Complex from existing facilities. These two major projects are top
priorities in the next three biennia (2011-2013, design and fund-raising; 20132015, phase one, build new University Services Center; 2015-2017, phase two,
remodel the Wallace Student Center into a Fine Arts Complex). Efforts to meet
additional specific needs will be made through annual maintenance requests to
the County and through fundraising. Additional and redesigned classroom
space, including new instructional technology, and space for storage and repair
of equipment will be a focus for a major project in 2015-2017. These needs will
likely be met by expanding and/or remodeling portions of existing buildings,
including the Gymnasium, the Library, and the Classroom Building. Additional
residence halls need to be considered for enrollment growth.
2. Space Evaluation Overview
In a pastoral setting with seven buildings (including the Symons Recreation
Complex), UW Richland is an attractive college campus. The buildings were
designed to meet the basic needs of instruction in the 1960s and to allow for
future growth. Even the 1966 architectural drawings indicate where facilities
27
might be expanded. Most classrooms are small, with seating for no more than
20-40 students. Although the theater seats 315, it is not a good space for
audiences or classes greater than 100 persons. The art room is simply a
provisionally-converted regular classroom with normal lighting and no special
studio work space. Expanding the art department to East Hall in 2009-2010
enhanced the art department’s facilities and helped us increase offerings until a
major building or remodeling project is funded. The music room was designed as
a rehearsal space for 25-30 instrumentalists and is unsuitable for other
instruction.
The theater is used as a multi-purpose room for a variety of campus and
community activities, and it lacks wing space, shop space, costume storage
space, and make-up space. The high demand on the theater space frequently
creates scheduling conflicts. The physical education building has a gymnasium
and a weight room and office and shop space for maintenance, but lacks
classrooms.
The campus lacks adequate space for student activities, such as governance, a
newspaper, international programs, counseling, academic skills, tutoring, testing,
bookstore, text rental, small-group study, and conferences.
Exterior campus space is naturally attractive but will require the replacement and
repair of brick, and maintenance of the arboretum, prairie, trees; and the pathway
to the nearby high school requires additional lighting and signage.
B. Planning Issues and Solutions
The issues and solutions presented below are recommended for the
period under review (2013-2019). At this time, it did not seem
prudent to place them in a specific time frame because the campus is
currently completing its Strategic Plan and intends to begin a campus
master plan in the spring of 2012. Presented here are issues that are
of priority and that will certainly figure into the master plan.
Planning Area: Landholdings and Boundaries
Priority
Issue Description
1.
The campus needs to hire a professional firm in 2012 to provide a new
campus master plan for future programming and facilities’ needs.
28
Develop short-term projects that improve the appearance of facilities and
grounds
Pursue initiatives to make UW-Richland a more sustainable campus.
Planning Area: Building Space
Priority
Issue Description
1.
Redesign building entryways, insulate and replace ceiling tile for Wallace
Student Center, Melvill Hall, Classroom Building, Library, and
Gymnasium.
2.
Remodel and upgrade bathrooms to be handicapped accessible in the
Wallace Student Center, Classroom, Library, and Gymnasium buildings.
3.
The campus needs space for student governance, student newspaper,
international programs, counseling, tutoring, testing, academic skills,
bookstore, text rental, child care, small group study, informal gatherings,
and receptions. The enhancing the student environment by improving
gathering/social spaces on campus include soft seating, cyber café,
quiet and noisy areas. There also is a need for soft spaces and study
areas to accommodate adult students.
4.
Administrative services to be located in one building. Dean, Business
Services, and Student Services operations relocated to the new
University Services building to provide efficiency and quality services for
students, parents, community, faculty, and staff. It will provide a onestop service area.
5.
Outdated kitchen, utilities service, and dining area facility. The kitchen
and dining areas need to be redesigned and furnished with the latest
food service equipment as the equipment is 44 years old and outdated.
The utilities have continued to be more of a problem. Additional storage
is needed.
6.
Inadequate space for IT department and distance education. Increased
I.T. equipment and greater demands for services and repair have
created need for additional space or revamped space.
A third distance education room is needed to facilitate the four-year
BAAS degree program and other collaborative programs.
29
7.
Inadequate size and design for music instruction on campus. Entry stairs
and permanent risers seriously hinder handicapped access and
instructional use. Visibility for lectures and acoustics are poor because of
room design and location. Department space has no piano lab area.
Additional storage space needed.
8.
Inadequate space for sets, costumes, makeup, and dressing rooms. The
theatre space is used by the theatre department and the music
department and for classroom exams, lectures, convocations and
numerous other campus and community activities. There is no adequate
space for building sets or storing costumes. The facility lacks an adequate
makeup room and dressing room. Crowded make-shift conditions create
health and safety hazards.
9.
Classrooms are inadequate in size, handicap access, and equipment. The
Classroom Building needs to be remodeled, updated and an addition
added. The bathrooms and drinking fountains need to be renovated for
handicap access. Additional classrooms are required to accommodate
new curriculum, Continuing Education and UW-Extension programs. All
classrooms need to be equipped with updated multi-media instructional
technology. Classrooms should include a communication
arts/performance lab for the assessment of classroom instruction and a
Video Editing Lab for the preparation of instructional materials and UR
videos. Classrooms need additional storage space. The meeting area in
Science Building Room 102 needs a kitchen area in the adjacent space.
10.
Update space for library services. The library needs to be updated and
redesigned to accommodate new cooperative learning and library
technologies.
11.
Inadequate and poorly designed space for physical education. New
lighting is needed in the Roadrunner Gymnasium. Current weight and
conditioning classes are conducted in a make-shift area shared by
maintenance for storage. Inadequate room design creates safety
concerns. Classrooms are needed for lectures and physical
education/athletic labs. Refurbish gym floors, bleachers, locker rooms,
and provide air conditioning. Concealed storage needed.
12.
Inadequate space for storage in maintenance. Campus lacks loading
dock and storage area for supplies. Increased garage space is needed to
house campus fleet vehicles and grounds maintenance equipment.
30
13.
Housing for more independent international students and special
populations. The campus goal is to increase independent students
needing additional housing. In addition, campus lacks housing for nontraditional students with families. New space needed for child care
facilities and a separate living area for Resident Hall Manager. Consider
additional dorms/residence hall space.
14.
Science building needs to install an 80 KW (120 amps) generator and 150
amps transfer switch and one more air handling unit on the emergency
panel. Then the Science, Classroom and Wallace Student Center
buildings would be connected.
15.
Gymnasium building needs to replace the existing back-up generator and

UW-Richland – Technology Vision
Our planning vision for technology on the UW-Richland campus will be guided by 3 principles:
Keep our current technological infrastructure up to date for administrative and
educational needs.
Strive to be innovative as appropriate for our programs.
Approach technology as a tool supporting our primary goal of education.

Executive Summary
General Summary
Results of the technology survey clearly indicate that the most pressing technology concerns among
students, faculty, and staff were the need for faster and more reliable WiFi access, faster campus
computers (in labs and offices), and greater access to more advanced interactive technologies both
inside and outside the classroom. Fortunately, the IIT Committee (working with Central and Campus IT
departments) has begun the process of immediately addressing the first two goals. The third goal is in
process at the Central level, but our local infrastructure is mostly ready for implementation. Goals 4 and
5 require more specific planning, but the strategies are in place for eventually achieving these
objectives. The last goal is currently in its infancy, but there is a strategy to move it along within the 3-5
year time frame.
For more detailed explanation of each goal, the strategies for achieving them, and the measures for
proving successful completion, please see the “Proposed Strategy” section (pp. 17-20).

Technology Plan Process
Start Up Process
In the fall of 2012, the UW-Richland IIT Committee launched a year-long initiative to examine
and create an enduring technology plan for the campus that could serve as guide and template
for the future. The original idea was initiated by Dean Hagen in the spring of 2012, and was
introduced to the campus during our fall retreat. The main impetus behind the technology plan
was threefold. First, there is another technological “revolution” of sorts as handheld devices
begin to replace our traditional laptop/desktop market. That trend is likely to continue and the
technology industry is applying great pressure in all areas of society (including higher education)
in order to be the first to achieve a marketing advantage in this area. Second, our institution has
been encouraging each campus to become better prepared to make intelligent technology
decisions as we face increasing pressure from outside sources to update our technology. This
new technology plan is intended to provide a vehicle were re-invigorating our campus response
to the constantly changing world of consumer technology. Third, the planning process enabled
to the IIT Committee to reevaluate its priorities and procedures. As a result, this technology
plan serves as both a resource and a template for the annual business schedule of the campus
IIT Committee.
The IIT Committee had three primary objectives during this process.
1) Draft a renewable technology plan that will help guide the campus decisions as it relates
to technology priorities for both short and long terms.
2) Re-examine the duties and responsibilities of IIT Committee so that it can continually
revise and update its technology plan on an annual basis as part its internal process.
Establish procedures to ensure the technology plan is used as a guide for the IIT
Committee’s other decisions (lab mod grants, etc.) This process is listed below.
3) Develop a set of tools that will help the IIT Committee to sustain these annual reviews of
the technology plan. These tools are included in the Appendixes.
In order to meet these objectives, the IIT Committee met ten times over the course of the year,
including several 2-hour work sessions. The process included: develop the following general
steps: planning an outline for the process for developing a technology plan; gathering
information about the kinds technology and services we currently provide; creating a survey for
gathering input on campus needs and priorities for technology and services that could serve as a
template for future plans; and reviewing the survey results to make current budget decisions
and to draft a rough outline of technology plan. The committee also hosted a special listening
session and provided periodic updates to the campus through Collegium reports.
The initial process of developing the Campus Technology plan required an unusual amount of
effort and commitment from the IIT Committee. Fortunately, the tools and templates have
been created and the process should be much easier to implement next fall. The new process
should be streamlined for next year and we hope to follow a five-meeting schedule next year
(two meetings in the fall, and three meetings in the spring).

Central Information Technology Services (CITS) provides support and services. Their help desk
support helps solve immediate issues. Higher level support helps with more complicated immediate
issues along with assisting with projects. CITS hosts the UW-Richland Website. They also host the
VMware vCenter. This allows us to integrate our two VMware host. This allows them to assist remote
and allow us remote access from any UW College. On campus our domain controller and firewall are
managed and maintained remotely by CITS. In the Spring of 2013, our bandwidth was upgraded from
10MB to 100MB.
Campus Support
The local area network is managed through the use of vlans. We currently we have 13 servers,
seven of these servers are VMware Virtual Machines. All servers are Microsoft operating
systems; 2003, 2007, and 2012. We have 15 switches, 14 are HP and one is a Dell. Switches are
connected by fiber.
Wireless
The 802.11B/G MonoWall Wireless Network was upgraded throughout all campus
buildings to 802.11B/G/N Aerohive Wireless Network, spring of 2013. Currently have
twelve Aerohive Access Points, AP121.This upgrade increased our coverage area by 25%.
Aerohive Access Points AP121 are Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) ready.

Summary of Most Recent Technology Survey
In January of 2013, the IIT Committee conducted a survey of faculty, staff, students, and other related
constituencies of the campus to gather information of the state of technology usage at UW-Richland.
The survey was intended to find out three main kinds of information from our campus community
members: 1) What kinds of technology were people using? 2) How well has the campus been meeting
people’s technology needs and expectations? 3) What kinds of changes in technology do people most
want to see? The survey was administered online, and was also available in hard copy format upon
request. A little more than 15 percent of the campus community responded, resulting in the following
results and generalizations.
Usage and Expectations
Students:
Just under half of survey respondents were students, of which more than two-thirds had no
previous collegiate experience, and the remaining third had some.
Application and Performance
Math / Natural Sciences
Humanities / Fine Arts
Social Sciences
Student majors
Technological Expectations
Two thirds of the students use a WiFi enabled laptop, and a quarter of the students use a WiFi
enabled smart phone every day. A small number of students are using tablet computing devices
(about 15 percent) every day or nearly every day – among those, students are using the WiFi
more than 3G/4G to access the internet by a ratio of 2:1. More than a quarter of the students
also use color printers two or three times a week, while the slightly fewer use black/white
printers with the same frequency. Only about 15 percent of student use their own private
printers.
Student Use of Software
Almost all students are using email every day, with 62 percent using school email, and 37
percent using non-school email. Less than half the students use one of their Office Suite tools
on a daily basis, but every student reported using social networking at least once a week, and
more than half use social networking (Facebook / Twitter, etc.) on a daily basis. More than half
the students also reported playing games online, or on their device, at least two or three times a
day (33 percent reported daily gaming). Almost all students use their Office Suite tools on their
laptop, with only a small minority (less than ten percent) using these tools on their tablet,
smartphone, or directly from a website. But a quarter of the students used their electronic
calendar through a smart phone or tablet device at least two or three times a week (if not daily).
Less than 10 percent of the students access their online calendar through a laptop, and about a
third of the students do not use an electronic calendar at all.
14
Classroom Experience
About half the students felt the classroom experience at UW-Richland was about the same as
their previous educational institution. While a third reported they had everything they needed
in a classroom, there were at least half who thought there were some areas in classroom
technology that needed improvement.
Faculty / Instructional Academic Staff:
The second largest category of respondents was comprised of faculty and instructional academic
staff. More than 75 percent of those who spend some part of the time teaching in a classroom
responded to the survey.

Areas of Specialization
Classroom Experience
52 percent of Faculty/IAS feel their classrooms are about the same as their previous experience,
and very well equipped. 48 percent feel their classrooms are either less equipped or noticeably
ill-equipped than their previous experience. Most would like to see some improvement in the
classroom, and a small minority (8 percent) has a difficult time because of poorly equipped
classrooms.
Office Experience
Two thirds of Faculty/IAS members feel their offices are well equipped and better than what
they are used to from their previous positions. A little less than half would like to see some (or
many) areas of technology in the offices improved.
15
Technological Experience
More than half of Faculty/IAS members use copy machines and printers (private or shared
access) every day. More than a quarter also use WiFi or 3G/4G enabled phones and laptops
every day. Another quarter use these tools, and others (including scanners and color printers)
two or three times a week.
Technology Used in Office and Classroom
Almost every Faculty/IAS member uses their office desktop computer on a daily basis, with only
slightly fewer also using dry erase boards, classroom projectors, and land-line phones on a daily
basis. Half of respondents also use a local storage device every day, and a quarter use smart
boards at least two or three times a week.
Software Usage
Almost every Faculty/IAS member uses classroom management software on a daily basis, and
those who do not use such software daily, do so at least two or three times a week. In addition,
half of respondents also use video streaming software at least two or three times a week.
About a quarter of respondents also use other web based tools, commercial cloud storage and
other administrative software at least two to three times a week, and some every day.
Administrative / Non-Instructional Staff
Only about 15 percent of the respondents were administrators, or some other non-instructional
staff members. Among those, half were administrators.
Staff Expectations
Among those who responded to the survey, 83 percent felt their offices were at least as well (if
not better) equipped than their previous place of employment. A quarter said they had
everything they need to do what they need to do, and a little more than half said there were
some areas of technology that could be improved.
Use of Technology
Half of the Staff respondents use a land-line phone and desktop computer every day, another
quarter use these tools at least two or three times a week. Less than 10 percent use any other
form of technology (audio, video, CD/DVD, TV, or dry erase boards) more than once a week.
Use of Software
Almost every Staff member reported using Office Suite tools and school email at least two or
three times a week (75 percent reported using them every day). About half the respondents
also use specialized web-based software on a daily basis (or close to it). A little less than 60
percent use electronic calendars, and those who do use their desktop computers to access them
rather than their phone or tablet device (by a ratio of 3:1). Most Staff members reported never
using social networking or instant message (or if they do, they use it rarely).
16
Recommended Improvements and Priorities
Student Responses
More than half the students felt the most urgent priority for improving technology at UW-Richland was
to ensure faster WiFi access, and more reliable WiFi access. An equal number of students felt the next
priority (to be dealt with soon) should be improving the speed of campus computers, expanding the
number of campus desktop computers, and generally improving the speed of online access. A minority
of students (between 10 and 20 percent) called for greater versatility in student management tools (D2L
and PRISM) and greater connectivity to online calendar tools.
In the free form comment section, Students repeated the general need for faster/more reliable
WiFi access and faster/more reliable computers in student labs. Some students also emphasized the
need for more reliable scanners and wireless printers. Several comments encouraged more training for
professors so they could be more comfortable using Smart Boards in the classrooms. Other issues not
prompted by the survey, but mentioned by students include: better building security, more lighting
around campus, emergency phones around campus, more access to electrical outlets, and increased
access to WiFi and printers in the dorms.
Faculty and Instructional Academic Staff Responses
Three quarters of the Faculty / Instructional Academic Staff identified the need for faster and more
reliable WiFi access as the campus’ most urgent technological priority. The remaining respondents
placed WiFi access as their second more urgent priority, but also identified the need for greater access
to tablet technologies, more reliable file transfer tools on campus, and greater access to classroom
recording tools as their more urgent priorities. Other priorities identified as needing to be dealt with
very soon include: greater access to Smart Boards, greater access to classroom recording, faster access
to online for private devices (laptops, phones, and tablets), more reliable video conferencing software,
and more training for using classroom technologies.
In the free form comment section, Faculty / Instructional Academic Staff echoed the need for
faster, more reliable access to WiFi, but also emphasized the need for faster classroom computers.
Several comments mentioned the time it takes to start a classroom (or office) computer, and asked for
some IT solution (such as automatic waking to counter the automatic shut-down). Several comments
also mentioned the need for greater availability of Smart Boards in more classrooms. Several comments
further mentioned the need for upgraded projectors, and access to technology to block (or control)
student WiFi during class time. Other issues not prompted by the survey include: need for more
presentation clickers; software to allow instructors to see what is on student screens in lab settings;
increased access to shared drives across campus and off campus; better distribution of existing
classroom tools (so there are fewer “unused” resources); replace black podiums with smaller units;
greater access to tablets; more white board space; and more digital signage.
Administration and Non-Instructional Staff Responses
About half the Administration / Non-Instructional Staff respondents identified faster and more reliable
access to WiFi as their most urgent priority. Beyond that, there was much less consensus over what the
next priorities should be. Some trends (none of which were more than 20 percent) indicated a need for
more versatile file transfer tools, more training for classroom technologies, more versatile student ID
technology, and more reliable phones, printers, and more access to laptops.
In the free form comment section, Administration / Non-Instructional Staff repeated the need
for faster and more reliable WiFi access, but also indicated a need for faster office computers and
greater access to printing options in more places. Other issues not prompted by the survey include
better tools for transferring video recordings to DVD, cell phones for staff, connecting fire alarms to
automatic alerts to the fire department, and greater access to electrical outlets.
17
Proposed Strategy
General Summary
The technology survey clearly indicated that the most pressing technology concerns among students,
faculty, and staff were the need for faster and more reliable WiFi access, faster school computers (in
labs and offices), and a greater access to more advanced interactive technologies both inside and
outside the classroom. Fortunately, the IIT Committee (working with Central and Campus IT
departments) has begun the process of immediately the first two priorities. Both the short term and
long term priorities identify strategies for meeting the third priority.
Short Term: One and Two Year Priorities
These goals are necessarily specific in detail, and may be partially completed at the time of drafting the technology
plan. Strategies and Evidence points shou ld also be detail -specific to enable immediate implementation.

Stationary power tools are equipped with a
safety device which prevents automatic
restart after a power outage.
Abrasive wheel grinders are equipped with:
A tool rest that is maintained at a
1/8" clearance from the wheel.
A tongue guard, located at the top of
the wheel, that is maintained at a
1/4" clearance from the wheel.
A guard that covers all sides of the
wheel and drive shaft.
Comments
Maintenance area has a box fan with a damaged
fan blade guard. Photo 7
Review and update the written plan.
Provide “affected” employee training to staff that
may come in contact with area where LOTO is in
place.
Grinder is maintenance shop needs guard
adjustments. Photo 1,2,9
Table saw in Art Lab did not have the guards in
place. Guards are in the coffee can next to the
saw, install guards. Photo 19
Grinder in Arts Lab needs guard adjustment.
Also noticed open ended sanders and polishers
in the Arts area. Per OSHA 1910.215 a spindle
guard is required for grinders. However this item
is not listed or sold as a grinder. I would suggest
that operator procedures be posted at the work
area that includes – Shoulder length or longer
hair needs to be contained so it will not come in
contact with moving parts, no loose fitting
clothing, use of an apron to keep clothing from
making contact with moving parts. Should there
been incident with this item it would most likely
be reviewed under the OSHA General Duty
Clause. Photo 16, 17,18

Draft of Strategic Plan for UWR Smart Farm
Draft of Strategic Plan for UWR Smart Farm May 31, 2013
The purpose of this strategic plan draft is to summarize direction for the Smart Farm after meeting with
several key persons and considering the feasibility of over 180 ideas and suggestions offered by various
groups. I was hired by the Foundation to create a draft of strategic approach for the farm. Timelines
and priorities established are based on the best possible estimations with current resources.
Goal 1 Curriculum
Design and develop courses or aspects of courses (credit, non-credit) that strengthen outcomes for
teachers and learners and promote excellence by utilizing the Smart Farm and enhancing the UW
Richland curriculum
Objective 1 New Course(s) for credit toward AA or BAAS at UW Richland
1. LEC 100 First Year Seminar
Held at the Smart Farm. Offer - Fall 2014.
Instructor: Sue Price

1. BUS 210 Business Communication - host a field trip for elementary students to the
farm. Spring 2013. Instructor: Wayne Morganthaler
2. AST 100 Survey of Astronomy- secure funding for a telescope to be housed at the
Smart Farm for use by in laboratory possibly Spring 2015, Fall 2015 Instructor: Clif
Cavanaugh
3. Student projects for classes – Fall 2013/Spring 2014
A. History class – project of writing a history of the Smart Farm
For inclusion in documentation and future museum display
Objective 3 Courses for professional development credit– work with licensing agencies to
provide workshops/seminars that would meet the licensure requirements for teachers.
1. Contact Dave Allen with CESA 3 about developing offerings for teachers’ license
renewal. Summer workshops/Seminars for teachers K-12
Goal 2 Research/Land Use
Establish and conduct research that provides educational opportunities with emphasizes on scholarship,
service and academic excellence, engaging collaboration whenever possible. Manage use of forestland
and cropland.
Objective 1 –Research for faculty professional development and collaboration
1. Solar panels – energy generated and tracked on internet. Ongoing. Norlene
Emerson
2. Entomology research considering pollinators. Jennifer Gavinski and Teresa Schueller
Summer 2013 identifying collaborators. Connecting with scientists from UW
Madison,UW Platteville and UW LaCrosse . Proposal completed by December 2013.
Targeted date for research to begin – Summer 2014.
