THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN

In the short term, prior to funding being available for the appropriate seismic and renovation upgrades, the George Thomas Building could provide “swing” or “surge” space for other building programs that need temporary homes while their current homes are being renovated or rebuilt. Possible candidates for this tempo-rary reuse are the Park Building which is under current renovation and/or The College of Law which has begun a study to determine the long term options for its right-sizing and future growth whether as a renovation to its existing building or the construction of a replace-ment facility in its current location. The new UMNH building is anticipated to open in 2009 or 2010. This timing may not coincide with neighboring project surge space needs for the effective temporary use of George Thomas. Depending upon the success of the fund rais-ing campaign underway for the College of Fine Arts and its priorities, the Theatre Department may begin their reuse efforts on the heels of the UMNH reloca-tion.

Mechanical SystemsThe George Thomas Building’s original steam pipe heating system was converted to a high temp water heating system in 1974. This current 30 year old system will require replacement during the renovation/upgrade.

• District Steam Heat: four inch high pressure steam line from the Chemistry Building

• Primary cooling system: reciprocating chilled water system located in Basement Mechanical Room

• Supplementary cooling system: window mounted air conditioners and several DX split systems.

• Constant volume air distribution system, original to the building (70 years), inefficient and maintenance intensive

StructuralBuilding Description: The original structure was built in 1933. This building received a non-structural remodel in 1978. The approximate total square footage of the building is 86,900. The building has 3 floors. In addi-tion to the 3 floors, there is a basement.

The foundation is a system of reinforced concrete con-tinuous and spot footings. The roof framing is made up of steel trusses clear spanning the exhibition space with a concrete roof diaphragm. The roof and oors are sup-ported by a concrete frame with un-reinforced masonry wall which provides the lateral force resisting system.This structure was originally constructed as the main library for the university and served this purpose until being replaced by the Marriott Library in 1968. The 200 ft by 50 ft open exhibition space in the front of the building is approximately 40 ft to 50 ft high. This space creates very high seismic shear forces in the roof diaphragm and also a significant potential for the exte-rior walls to buckle outward during an earthquake. The suspended floors were designed to support library stack loads and therefore have adequate live load capacity for most building uses.

RVS Information: This building received a final structur-al score of -0.3 and given a seismic rating of very poor.

Seismic Deficiencies: The 1978 remodel did not include seismic upgrade provisions. Due to the un-reinforced masonry and terra cotta exterior, the building is con-sidered very heavy. The roof diaphragm over the large exhibition area is inadequate to transfer the seismic shear forces. The un-reinforced masonry walls do not have adequate capacity to transfer the seismic forces to the foundations. The tall exterior masonry walls at the front of the building most probably do not meet minimum height to thickness ratios and will require strengthening or bracing.

CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS

George Thomas - Building # 5Built: 1935Size: 86,900 GSFUtah Museum of Natural History

The Utah Museum of Natural History (UMNH) has occupied the George Thomas Building since 1968 when the Library moved its collections to the new Marriott Library on the southeast portion of the campus.

Programmatic Reuse CandidatesIn the long term the Thomas Building will require significant seismic upgrade and preservation refurbish-ment. The long term tenants of this building will face considerable costs for this restoration, but the yield in terms of quality of building aesthetic and durability will surely equal the investment. Given its dominant posi-tion flanking the historic entry portal of the campus, it occupies a prominent position in relationship to the neighborhood. This is an optimum position for a build-ing that could house civic or public interface programs along the primary “town and gown” edge. The Theatre Department within the College of Fine Arts has been sorely in need of upgraded academic facilities as well as a performance venue that provides seating for a smaller audience than is housed at the Pioneer Theatre. Theatre seeks a “black box” performance space.

George Thomas Building

The George Thomas Building housed the University’s first free standing Library. The original building con-struction took place in 1933 and was finished in 1935 with help from the “Works Progress Administration” (WPA). Flanking the southwest edge and providing a sense of completion to the newly defined oval compos-ing the Presidents Circle, its masonry stone exterior wall was typical of the grandeur of the period for prominent institutional and civic construction.

Currently, the George Thomas Building along with its peer buildings on Presidents Circle comprise an historic district on campus that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. With this degree of stature, four of the buildings in this cadre of historic structures have undergone extensive renovation in meeting the national standard of historic preservation. The degree of his-torical protection from severe remodeling that each of these buildings has had over the generations has been instrumental in determining their level of restoration and preservation.

CHAPTER 6: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS

Master Planning Guidelines:1. Open Space Program: HPER Mall is intended to be one of two major east-

west connectors. As a connective landscape, it should be designed to facilitate movement but also scaled for pedestrian experience, with smaller gathering spaces and entrance plazas incorporated along its length.

2. Building Placement: The north edge of the Student Life Center should

define the build-to line for new buildings along HPER Mall. Setbacks of new buildings along HPER Mall should be eliminated or minimized in the inter-est of enlivening the Mall and making it an actively used and vibrant campus corridor.

3. Primary Entrances: All primary building entries should be oriented

towards HPER Mall.

4. Service Access: Service access may be provided by the Shuttle Route

located along HPER Mall.

5. Landscape Typolog y: As a new east-west landscape connector, HPER Mall

should be designed primarily to facilitate an engaging and safe pedestrian experience and the integration of bicycle and shuttle routes. The pedestrian route should be intentionally designed to traverse plazas with shade trees and seating areas in order to help

discourage the use of these areas by cyclists and skateboarders. Pedestrian connections across HPER Mall between the Fields and South Campus should also be thoughtfully integrated with changes in pave-ment or markings.

HPER Mall will contain the most visible aspect of the proposed sustainable stormwater system. Bioswales should be designed to include woody veg-etation and trees along their edges so that they are both functional and attractive. The benefits they provide include stormwater treatment, shade, wind protection and habitat.

6. Preservation of Existing Features: Healthy trees along the north edge of HPER Mall

should be retained where feasible or relocated.

7. Sustainability: Sustainability may be addressed in a variety of ways

at HPER Mall. As described above, landscaping should include xeriscape planting and bioswales. Permeable paving may be integrated into pedestrian plaza areas, and may also have the benefit of discour-aging bicycle and skateboard use of pedestrian zones.

• Fort Douglas Military Museum: The Museum preserves the history of Fort Douglas and Utah’s military heri-tage with a research library, exhibits and educational programs.

• Utah Museum of Natural History: UMNH is designated by the State of Utah as the State museum of natural history with responsibility for curation of archaeolog-ical and vertebrate paleontological specimens recov-ered on state lands.

• Red Butte Garden: The Red Butte Garden is a non-profit botanical and ecological center provided by University of Utah. The Garden is the largest botani-cal garden that tests, displays and interprets regional horticulture in a 400 mile radius. The Garden has 18 acres of display gardens and 2-3 miles of hiking trails. The Walter P. Cottam Visitor Center, Courtyard Garden, Hemingway Four Seasons Garden and Dumke Floral Walk are part of the Red Butte Garden.

Athletics & Recreation

• Huntsman Arena: The 15,000-seat Huntsman Arena was opened in 1969. It accommodates NCAA events for men’s and women’s basketball and gymnastics.

• Rice-Eccles Stadium: Rice-Eccles Stadium is the premier stadium of the Intermountain region, serving the six-state area of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Nevada. The stadium has a turf field and seating for 45,000 spectators. The stadium underwent a 50-million-dollar renovation beginning May 1997 and was completed September 1998.

• Other new recreation fields, including a small golf practice facility, are proposed by the Plan which will provide enhanced recreational opportunities for the general public.

Clinical Facilities

• University of Utah Hospital: The University Hospital is a tertiary care referral center. It is highly regarded for programs in orthopedics, stroke, ophthalmology, cancer, new born intensive care, radiology, fertility, cardiology, genetic related diseases and organ trans-plant. The hospital is also a nationally verified Level I Trauma Center.

• Primary Children’s Medical Center (PCMC): The PCMC, owned and operated by Intermountain Healthcare, is a charitable, community-owned, nonprofit health care organization based in Salt Lake. Primary Children’s Medical Center serves the needs of chil-dren in the states of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Montana. The hospital is equipped to treat children with complex illness and injury and is rec-ognized as one of the top children’s hospitals in the United States.

• Moran Eye Center: The Moran Eye Center is the larg-est vision treatment and research center between the West Coast and Texas. The new Moran Eye Center building located at Mario Capecchi Drive was offi-cially opened in 2006. The building includes 210,000 square feet of treatment and surgical space.

• Huntsman Cancer Hospital & Institute: Huntsman Cancer Institute is a nonprofit research and treatment center and a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. The institute includes research, educa-tion, and patient care programs and facilities, among them the 50-bed Huntsman Cancer Hospital, which is part of The University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics system

Campus & Community

Considered the State’s “flagship” institution, the University operates within the broader context of Salt Lake City and the state of Utah, providing a focal point for education, economic development, employment and an array of community services in the areas of health, recreation, athletics, and culture.

The Plan proposes to meet its community objectives by creating new opportunities for on-campus community activities and by improving access to existing and pro-posed community facilities.

Performing Arts & Culture

A cluster of facilities offering arts and cultural enter-tainment programs to the public are located in the northwest quadrant of the campus, including Kingsbury Hall, David P. Gardner Hall, and the Pioneer Theatre. These venues, in particular, generate significant demand for parking facilities. Currently, demand exceeds sup-ply. The University has been studying potential sites in the northwest area of the campus, including underneath Presidents Circle, and adjacent to 100 South on the site of the current Military Science (ROTC) and Mines buildings, for parking structures to accommodate the growing needs of patrons attracted to entertainment venues and to address the ongoing need for daytime parking for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The specific number of additional parking spaces required to serve the northwest area of campus has not been defined by the Plan, however the University’s North West Quadrant Parking Structure Report of May 2007 assumed that the approximate capacity of a northwest parking structure would be 608 spaces.

The University has considered the development of a parking structure beneath the current Presidents Circle lawn. However, the Plan does not support this location due to the potential destructive impact of construction

on the existing high-quality trees in Presidents Circle. These trees, in addition to the general landscape quality of Presidents Circle, are a vital and essential component of the University’s heritage and character and should be preserved to the greatest extent possible. Parking under Presidents Circle would also generate additional traffic that would have a highly negative impact on pedestrian comfort and safety in this area of campus. Additional parking would negatively impact pedestrian move-ment at University Boulevard and the intersection of University and 200 South, which is already a pedestrian hazard because of the unusual separation of crosswalks, stop lines and turning movements.

The Plan proposes development of a parking structure at either the site currently occupied by ROTC/Mines or at Parking Lot 3 located immediately west of the Center for Cell & Genome Science. The ROTC/Mines site is directly accessible from 100 South, but it is less convenient for pedestrians and an upgraded connection to Presidents Circle would be required as part of the project. Development of a parking structure adjacent to the Chemistry Building would displace approximately 100 existing parking spaces. However, the facility would not require the demolition of existing buildings, and it could potentially yield a greater number of parking spaces.

Other cultural facilities located within the campus proper include the following:

• Utah Museum of Fine Arts: The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is Utah’s primary cultural resource for global visual arts. It is unique in its dual role as a univer-sity and state art museum. It is Utah’s only visual arts institution that collects, exhibits, interprets, and preserves a comprehensive collection of original art objects.

The Plan

There are two pivotal components of the Athletics and Recreation Plan for the University: the Student Life Center and the Central Playing Fields.

The Student Life Center is envisioned as a large-scale, multi-purpose recreation facility which features over 150,000 square feet of indoor cardio, circuit and free weight areas, a climbing wall, natatorium with lap pool, leisure pool, running track, sport courts for basketball, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, a multi-purpose room/dance studios, wellness clinic, racquetball courts, locker rooms, classroom and meeting rooms, administrative offices, and a student lounge zone. To be sited on the Southwest end of HPER Mall within 5 minutes walk-ing distance from Fort Douglas Housing, and the pro-posed South Campus Housing, the Student Life Center will serve as an anchor for the expanded Athletics and Recreation program, and will increase student presence on campus. The existing Women’s Soccer Field near the Legacy Bridge landing should be preserved in its exist-ing location, directly south of the Student Life Center.

The Central Playing Fields are the centerpiece of the exterior Athletics and Recreation Plan. The fields will be sited north of HPER Mall with the goal of creating synergy with the Student Life Center. The Fields include 7 multi-use recreation fields, as well as two NCAA Division 1 competition level facilities - an Athletics Track and Women’s Soccer Field, and a Women’s Softball Diamond to replace the one that will be dis-placed by the Student Life Center. NCAA Division I Tennis Facilities with 12 outdoor courts (depending on funding and confirmation of need by the University) may be included, and would take the place of two of the multi-use fields. NCAA facilities are clustered toward the upper, western area along Wasatch Drive so that below grade parking facilities, which may be built

beneath the track and/or tennis courts, could serve competitions. The existing Practice Women’s Softball Diamonds, south east of Central Campus Drive, should be preserved in their existing location.

Both of these projects are described in greater detail in the Transformative Projects chapter.

If the University decides to build a new NCAA tennis facility, it should be located along Wasatch to the north of the Athletics track. This location affords the possibility of parking being integrated below the courts, with access from Wasatch, and also helps preserve open views from HPER Mall across the central portion of the Fields.

Central Playing Fields

A new cluster of terraced, multi-use recreation fields and athletic facilities will create an active green center for the campus, ultimately replacing the Ozone park-ing lot, Lots 24 and 30, abandoned tennis courts, and the practice driving range. Since this central campus area is currently dominated by paved surface parking and a jumble of outdated athletics facilities, the Central Playing Fields are an extremely important project, and their implementation will go a long way to reinvigorate student life on campus. The Central Playing Fields will provide green frontage for HPER Mall, and also cre-ate a core campus space linking South Campus and Interdisciplinary Corridor development to the north.

In concept, the Central Playing Fields may comprise three or four terraces to accommodate the slope and allow for the integration of flat playing surfaces. The project includes a total of six multi-use recreation fields (turf and synthetic), an NCAA Division I Athletics track and Women’s Soccer field, and an NCAA Division I Women’s Softball Diamond. NCAA Division I tennis facilities with 12 outdoor courts may also be included should a need be demonstrated. The two existing soft-ball diamonds will remain, and form the lowest terrace along with one of the multi-use fields.

The Athletics Track is intentionally sited on the top ter-race so that seating can be integrated into the slope west of Wasatch Drive. As well, a parking structure (with access from Wasatch Dr.) may be incorporated below the track. The existing slope also makes it possible for the parking structure to be exposed on its western edge, thereby providing natural ventilation and minimizing excavation. The Athletics Track also has an important relationship with the proposed Student Life Center; as a primary athletics facility with outdoor seating its loca-tion here will help create a lively anchor for the east end

of HPER Mall and a new gateway into central campus from Wasatch Drive.

If the University decides to build a new NCAA tennis facility, it should be located along Wasatch to the north of the Athletics track. This location affords the pos-sibility of parking being integrated below the courts, with access from Wasatch, and also helps preserve open views from HPER Mall across the central portion of the Fields.

North south pedestrain walkways linking HPER to Interdisciplinary Corridor are included along the grade breaks between each row of fields. These walkways are primary connections, and include a basic level of pedestrian amenities, including shade trees and seating. North-south pedestrian connections are also included; these walkways are of a smaller scale, and may take the form of simple paths and/or steps with informal trees for shade along their edges.

The central pedestrian walkway which connects HPER Mall to Interdisciplinary Corridor will be estab-lished above a north-south utility corridor serving North Campus, the Interdisciplinary Quad, and the Ambulatory Care Complex.

South Campus Housing

The Plan envisions the development of a village of single student housing located at the current Annex site. The residential build-ings may be stacked apartments located above structured parking. To reinforce the importance of South Campus Drive and Mario Capecchi Drive as a major campus gateway, the building will posi-tively address the adjacent streets and provide a distinctly urban character that is appropriate at this location.

Buildings will be organized around garden courtyards internal to the site. These “outdoor rooms” will underscore the sense of community with common, intimate spaces that are comfortable, are well con-nected to the larger campus context and provide opportunities for social interaction and intellectual exchange by student residents.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

South Campus Walk

The Plan proposes to transform South Campus into an iconic mixed-use gateway featuring a clear, direct, and safe pedestrian connection into the core campus area. The Plan envisions a sweeping pedestrian pathway – South Campus Walk – linking South Campus TRAX to HPER Mall. South Campus Walk will feature high quality paving materials, lighting, seating, and shade trees which support a comfortable pedestrian environment. Mixed-use shopfront buildings will face onto South Campus Drive and will offer campus-centric retail that complements other existing on-campus retail at the ground floor. Upper floors may be used by the University as offices and/or classrooms.

2008 Text: Page E-23: Buildings will be organized around garden courtyards internal to the site. These “outdoor rooms” will underscore the sense of community with common, intimate spaces that are comfortable, are well connected to the larger campus context and provide opportunities for social interaction and intellectual exchange by stu-dent residents.

Updated Text:Information below is Referenced from the South Campus Housing Master Plan, May 2010**(Additional information can be found in a forthcoming study: The University Housing Strategy / Analysis Report 2011)The proposed program can be realized in five- and six- story buildings, planned over podium structured parking. Internal streets and courtyards will be pedestrian oriented with vehicular access limited to service and emergency egress. A centrally located community commons will ultimately link the various phases of developments, build-ing upon the precedent of Phase I’s Café/Convenience Store. Courtyards within the subsequent phases will offer spaces for more intimate gatherings, as well as opportunities for distinctive viewing gardens.

The urban design strategy at the corner of Mario Cepecchi Drive and South Campus Drive is to set the apart-ments back from the intersection, utilizing a landscape buffer to mitigate noise and create views. Along South Campus Drive, the residential buildings are edge-loaded, which breaks down the scale of the street wall, invites daylight deep into the community spaces, regardless of seasonal fluctuation. The north and west perimeters of the site are maximized as build-to limits, which increases accommodation and better defines the character of the adjacent uses (e.g. enhancing the formal quality of the Huntsman Center and open space quality of the multi-purpose field). Like the Donna Garff Marriott Residential Scholars Community, building massing is varied and attuned to the solar orientation.

That said, even with the reduced program from the estimated 1,800 units defined in the 2008 Campus Master Plan to 1600 beds in the 2010 Campus Master Plan Addendum, this level of density is unique for student hous-ing at the University of Utah, with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) greater than 1.6. Increasing the densities of these planned communities will result in a dramatic transformation for student life on campus.

Project Update:

The first phase of South Campus Housing, The Donna Garff Marriott Honors Residential Scholars Community, is anticipated to be complete in July of 2012. The project is 158,392 GSF and will provide approximately 310 beds for Honors students and resident advisors. The first floor of the building will house the Honor Academic Experience: the Big Ideas Room – the home of the Engaged Learning Initiative, two seminar rooms, a library, a music room, and five Honors faculty and administrative offices. The central focus of the building –a large community hub called the Honors Commons-is designed to flow from interior spaces to the outside. Each residential wing of the building is centered among a series of “Honors Towers” which provide both conceptual and functional identities to the space.
