Planning contextUWMbeganasnormalschoolin1885inalocationjustwestofdowntown,but in1909movedtothepresent locationatdownerandkenwood.duringthistime,theUniversityofWisconsinbegan toofferclasses inMilwaukee,a rolethattheextensiondivisiontookoverin1920.Thenormalschools evolved into four-year state colleges between1927and1951,and in1956,UWMbecamethesecondinstitutiontobecomepartoftheUniversityofWisconsin.

Thefirstofficialplanningefforttookplacein1960,markingthebeginningof aperiodof expansionas theUniversitybought first the Milwaukee-downer seminary site, andthen the Milwaukee-downer College buildings, and theMilwaukee University school campus. at the time, theUniversityhadanenrollmentofapproximately7,000stu-dents,withaprojectedenrollmentof20,000by1975.By1970,however,thecampushadalreadyreachedanenroll-mentofnearly21,000students.

in1970,thefirmofCaudill-rowlett-scottwascontractedbythestateBureauofFacilitiesManagementtodevelopamasterplanfortheMilwaukeecampus,whichwascom-pletedin1972.

The1972CampusMasterplanhasnotbeenupdated,norhas another campus master plan been completed sincethattime.ThisMasterplanthereforemarksthefirstinover30 years, and will provide the framework for future aca-demic,physical,andcapitalplanningprocesses.

(source: Campus Physical Development Plan, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, July 2006)

the Planning Process—guidance and consultationMaster planning for UWM commenced in april 2008under the guidance of the executive leadership Team,the Campus planning steering Committee, the Campusplanning Coordinating Committee, the academicsubcommittees, and the planning support Team. These

Universityteamsworked incooperationwiththeconsult-ingcollaborativeofhammel,green,andabrahamson,inc.(hga)(Milwaukee,Wisconsin)andsasakiassociates,inc.(Watertown, Massachusetts) to develop the comprehen-sivemasterplan.Foralistingofallmembersoftheplan-ningteam,pleaseseetheacknowledgements.

The Master planning process was highly inclusive andtransparent,designedtoprovidedeliberateandinteractiveengagement with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukeecampus community, the broader Milwaukee communityand partners, and other local and state representatives.The process included on-campus work sessions of oneto threedays induration,scheduledevery4 to6weeksthroughout the 20-month process. Follow-up meetingsand web-based conferences were held, particularly dur-ingmonthswhenworksessionswerenotscheduled.Thedevelopmentof themasterplan included fourphasesofwork:

Phase a: observations and assessmentsphaseaincludedabroadinvestigationtorecordexistingsiteconditionsoftheUWMcampusesincludingarchitec-turalandlandscapecharacter,circulationpatterns,existingnaturalsystems,spaceuse,andutilitiesandinfrastructure.phase a also included interviews with members of theUWMfaculty,staff,andbroadercampuscommunity,localgovernmentofficials,neighborhoodandbusinessgroupsandotherstoconfirmtheacademic,researchdrivers,andprogrammaticneeds.Theoutcomeofthesemeetingswasto establish the principles, goals, and objectives for thestudy,andtoascertainthekeyissuestobeaddressedinthemasterplan.

Phase B: Principles and conceptual PlanThe principles and Concept plan phases examined themost favorable options for near-term and long-termUWM development across a range of potential sites.The objective for this phase was to refine the devel-opment patterns and site/area/precinct characteris-tics to create the framework for more detailed studiesandplans.

Components of thisvisionincludeprovidingadequatespacetoaccommodateplanned growth and establishing partnerships with otherinstitutionsandbusinesseswhosemissionscomplementand reinforce those of UWM. The vision focuses poten-tial on biomedical sciences, automation, freshwater, andhealthcare focusingonUWM’sresearchgrowth in theseareas.

in theshort-term, theMilwaukeeCountyTransitservices(MCTs)currentlyprovidessix localroutesandthreefree-way flyer/express routes in Milwaukee County that takepassengersdirectlytothecampus.inaddition,WisconsinCoach lines, a private company, provides two regionalrouteswithservicedirectlytotheUniversity.TheUniversityhousing shuttle service operates continuously betweenthe UWM campus, kenilworth square apartments, andriverviewresidencehall.

in cooperation with MCTs, the University developed theUpasstransitprogramtoservebothcommutingstudentsand students living on or near campus. The Upass isacceptedasfullfareoneveryMCTs-operatedbusroute.The cost for Upass is included in tuition as part of thestudentsegregatedfee.

climate Protection (sun, Wind and rain)The guiding principle for all plantings on campus is torespondtothelocalclimateconditionsandcreateanopenspace framework that provides a sequence of attractiveandcomfortablespaces,anetworkofshadeandgeneralcomfortzonesprotectedfromwind,sunandrain.
