Facilities Development Plan Executive Summary Veterinary medical facilities have been situated on the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul Campus for at least 110 years. Early documentation, a photo dated 1891, shows a two story wood framed “Veterinary Hospital” located on the present site of the current College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). In 1901, a brick “Veterinary Building” was constructed replacing the wood framed hospital. This 1901 structure, now titled “Veterinary Anatomy”, still stands - a testament to Veterinary Medicine’s long-standing association with the University’s St. Paul Campus.

From this modest beginning, CVM facilities have grown to nearly 600,000 gross square feet. As the college’s programs continue to expand, the need for additional facilities continues to grow. In fact, the Minnesota Facilities Model (MFM) reveals that during the next 5 years, the College will require an additional 40,500 square feet of assignable space to accommodate planned programmatic growth.

CVM plans to pursue development of three primary programs that will affect facilities development.

They are: • Equine Program Development: Enhanced clinical services providing lameness and reproductive evaluations; enhanced educational offerings with an equine emphasis in Animal Science; and enhanced research in equine muscle disorders. • Comparative Medicine Research Programs: Enhanced research programs focused on the development of animal models of human diseases, especially chronic diseases such as cancer • Professional Teaching Program: Enhanced emphasis on small group interactive learning experiences to reinforce clinical and basic concepts; enhanced emphasis on technology-enhanced learning throughout the CVM curriculum; and increased opportunities for community interactions between students and between students and alumni

To address equine programmatic needs, the CVM plans to build a new equine clinical and research center on the St. Paul Campus. It will serve the growing need for additional equine clinical programs, for equine research programs and for an expanded equine undergraduate teaching program. In addition, it will aid the CVM to meet a significant

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 5 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan

accreditation concern of the American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA) Council on Education. In their last CVM site visit, the Council expressed concern regarding the current unsafe equine loading and unloading areas as well as noting that the current facilities are inadequate to effectively conduct equine lameness evaluations.

To enhance the comparative medicine research program, the CVM plans to first rehabilitate the existing historic “Veterinary Anatomy” building and then renovate the present CVM administrative area. “Veterinary Anatomy” is the oldest existing structure on the St. Paul Campus. The College’s administrative unit and the veterinary gallery will be housed in this rehabilitated space comprising of 12,000 assignable gross square feet. This historic space will further provide a “real” entry to the College, a focal point for veterinary medicine in Minnesota, and a link to Minnesota’s veterinary history. Relocating the administrative unit from its current location in the Teaching Hospital to the Veterinary Anatomy Building will free space for conversion into research and office space for the CVM’s expanding comparative medicine program.

To enhance the College’s professional teaching programs, the CVM plans to also rehabilitate the historic “Dairy Cattle Barn” located immediately north of the Teaching Hospital. The new space will include a lecture room for the 2nd year class, seminar rooms, comfortable seating areas with Internet access, and a commons area for students and alumni comprising of approximately 12,000 assignable square feet.

Constructing a new equine facility, renovating existing space, and conscientiously rehabilitating two historic structures will provide facilities required by the college’s future teaching, research, and clinical programs and meet accreditation requirements of the AVMA’s Council on Education. Furthermore, other collegial units and community organizations will be able to use the planned new facilities for lectures, seminars and gatherings. These facilities will not only enable the CVM to fulfill its mission, but they will significantly enhance the overall St. Paul Campus ambience.

Introduction

The intent of this plan is to identify the current state of The College of Veterinary Medicine’s facilities and to develop a “road map” for the next 20 years which:

• Establishes guidelines for CVM’s future physical growth, including the need for new facilities and adaptive reuse of the existing. • Establishes criteria as to how best utilize its existing facilities. • Improves and facilitates identity, visibility and accessibility. • Grows to meet the future space needs of a contemporary CVM. • Creates an architectural image befitting the St. Paul campus. • Defines and develops green space and landscape areas. • Defines and develops circulation patterns and parking space.

The college of Veterinary Medicine occupies the southeast corner of the University of Minnesota’s Saint Paul Campus and is bounded by Fitch, Commonwealth, Boyd and Gortner Avenues, with the exception of the Raptor Center, located west of Gortner. Gortner Avenue is the major North-South street that crosses the Campus at its center.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 9 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 1.2 Identification of Future Growth Areas

The 2001 Space Inventory conducted for CVM has revealed a total projected growth of 40,508 asf over five years. The results of the MFM Space Inventory are exhibited in appendix 6.1. This figure does not include the planned 41,700 asf Equine Facility and the needed 26,000 asf BL-3 Isolation Facility. This projected future growth needs to occur in the next 5 years across the board in all three basic CVM programs.

Research Program

This program plans on the addition of 10 new Principal Investigators. The research they will be conducting focuses on the following 5 major themes:

1. Comparative oncology - new tenure track faculty position plus an Endowed Chair. Program will focus on examining causes of cancer in animals and use the findings to enhance clinical services for oncology patients as well as provide animal models for further research into human oncology. Develop collaborative relationships with Medical School faculty and other appropriate resources. 2. Genomics/molecular biology - new faculty member to expand genomic research in animals as well as use the information to enhance clinical services and continuing professional education. Develop collaborative relationships with Medical School faculty and other appropriate resources. 3. Comparative medicine - new faculty member to enhance existing program. Program investigates disease models by species and further determines if these models may serve further research into human diseases. Develop collaborative relationships with Medical School faculty and other appropriate resources. 4. Food safety and molecular epidemiology - Program Director in Food Safety will develop relationships within the University and with the external community to ensure a safe food chain. Molecular Epidemiology researcher to conduct basic scientific research into etiology of food borne pathogens and how to minimize their risks to animals and humans. 5. Microbiology - new researcher to enhance microbiology program, investigate potential of organisms to be used in bioterrorism.

Clinical Program

The CVM census indicates that the Small Animal Teaching Hospital caseload has nearly tripled since the new facilities opened in 1982. It also specified that the space available for the number of patient visits reached its peak around 1995. Since that time the number of patient visits has grown to the extent that additional small animal quarters and clinical space is needed today and in the future, along with existing space rearrangements and improved scheduling.

Please see below for a breakdown of the number of cases treated by the Small Animal Teaching Hospital since fiscal year 87-88. More information can be found in appendix 6.3.

Education Program

CVM class size is currently 80 students per class, with 4 classes for the DVM professional program, for a total of 320 FT student body. CVM expects each class size to remain constant (+/- 3%) during the next 5 years. This stability is the result of available resources including faculty, facilities and budgets as well as the anticipated demand for veterinary education and veterinary services.

CVM has and will continue to have an ongoing need for three lecture halls of 100 persons capacity. Three of the CVM classes (year 1 thru 3) are taught primarily via didactic methods. This teaching methodology will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Much of the curriculum will continue to require “hands on” demonstrations as well as direct interactions between students and faculty.

Two existing classrooms, Rooms 125 and 135 in Bldg 416-Animal Sciences/Veterinary Sciences Building, satisfy current lecture needs. They are assigned to Central Classroom Management, although CVM is the principal user. Room 145-lecture hall in Bldg 374-Veterinary Sciences is viewed as substandard. It is a terraced, long and narrow room, which is less than ideal to teach 80 students. A preferable setting would be a wider room with less depth.

The CVM is in need of a 250 persons capacity collegiate type auditorium. Presently, CVM lacks such a facility and gathering groups larger than 100 persons within CVM is not possible. Such an auditorium will be used to full capacity from 15 to 20 hours a week, and at

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 11 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan

lower capacity (100-150 people) from 20 to 30 hours per week. In addition, it could serve as a replacement lecture hall for Room 145 in Bldg 374-Veterinary Sciences. Seminar space is presently very limited. Conducting small group discussions, staff and faculty meetings and similar activities, is compro- mised due to lack of conference and seminar rooms with capacity of 10-25 persons. CVM needs to add 8-10 seminar rooms in the future, to address this present deficiency.

The total available instructional lab space is currently adequate and is expected to fill future needs. However, this space is in urgent need of upgrading both in terms of equipment and finishes in order to meet current quality standards:

1. The instructional lab space in Bldg 371-Veterinary Teaching Hospital is used primarily for teaching theriogenology and surgery. The theriogenology space functions much as it did when built more than 50 years ago. It is serviced by antiquated cabinetry, lab benches and utilities. The surgery space, while adequate, needs also to be upgraded. 2. The instructional lab space in Bldg 374-Veterinary Sciences is primarily used for microbiology and parasitology teaching labs. The space itself is open and flexible. The lab benches and instructional areas are old and should be upgraded to modern standards. 3. The instructional lab space in Bldg 416-Animal Sciences/Veterinary Medicine is entirely associated with the veterinary anatomy-teaching program. It is large 4. Open space that fulfills basic teaching needs. However, it needs upgrading of its finishes. 5. The instructional lab space in Bldg 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital is adequate both in quantity and quality.

Condition of Existing Buildings

All current CVM Buildings (with the exception of the Veterinary Anatomy the Dairy Cattle Barn) are relatively new buildings, structurally sound, internally connected via level-3. They are suitable to accommodate and support, through internal renovations, the needs of the CVM. These needs include: contemporary and future research laboratory practices and physical environments, instructional spaces, recreational facilities and diverse office arrangements.

All currently used buildings do still have some Building Code deficiencies accumulated over the years which are being corrected incre- mentally as part of ongoing renovation projects (please see appendix “Building Code Deficiencies” for a full listing by building of code issues): • Building 374 Veterinary Sciences houses the majority of all Research Laboratories. • Buildings 385 Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories, and 371 & 427 Veterinary Teaching Hospitals house the bulk of the Clinical Services. • Building 416 houses mostly Research and Instructional Laboratories and the bulk of the Instructional facilities.

Though they were constructed over a period of many years, the various CVM facilities allow for easy movement among buildings. They have been situated to align interior corridors and provide connecting points for linked structures. Buildings separated by service drives or surface pedestrian pathways use skyways as enclosed weather-shielded links.

Most CVM facilities have grade level floors that relate to each other. This has resulted in a consistent floor numbering system. Topo- graphic changes cause few buildings to deviate from this standard. These buildings generally do not share common floor levels.

Right: Third Floor - Ground Level Circulation Pathways

2.4 Density and Massing

The current density and massing of the CVM complex will be minimally affected, since most the developmental steps of this plan call for the renovation of existing buildings or portions thereof. The proposed locations for the two new buildings (the Equine Facility and the BL-3 Isolation Facility) fall outside the perimeter boundaries of the CVM complex. The proposed location for the BL-3 facility is directly across its south east corner, at the east side of Gortner Avenue. The potential location considered for the Equine Facility is at the northeast corner of the St. Paul campus (called the “Sheep Pasture”) and would be a good distance from the CVM complex.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 19 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 2.5 Green Space

The overall St. Paul campus contains considerable green space, landscape planting areas, pedestrian-scale outdoor open space and a significant tree canopy. However, its southern part has considerably less green space. The furthermost south/central area occupied by the CVM complex proper is the densest and therefore has less green space and fewer outdoor amenities. Given CVM’s relatively newer buildings that are capable of supporting current and future programs adequately, there is very little opportunity to increase the green/open space significantly by Outside of Veterinary Hospital. taking down obsolete and inefficient existing structures and replacing them with higher ones of smaller building footprints.

Still, the perimeter edges of the complex contain landscape planting areas and a good number of mature trees. The complex also faces open green spaces both to the south and east. The north end of the complex is the least dense, most green and open and it provides the greatest opportunity for the development of formal and informal outdoors pedestrian scale areas in conjunction with the proposed renovation of the Dairy Cattle Barn to CVM Commons. The recently developed grassy area contained by Buildings 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital, 416-Animal Sciences/ Veterinary Medicine and the Dairy Cattle Barn will become the focal point of outdoors activities and recreation.

2.61 Programmatic Need Statement for the Veterinary Anatomy Building

Built in 1901, the Veterinary Anatomy Building (Bldg 316) is the oldest extant building on the St. Paul campus. It was the original home of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Immediately after World War II, with the influx of returning veterans and with campus space at a premium, the Veterinary Anatomy served multiple functions. Among them were: a museum, offices, laboratories, classrooms, lecture hall, operating suite and instrument room. Because of its multiple functionality, it became an icon for the veterinary students and faculty whose motto was “make do”. During the latter 1950’s, new CVM clinic, research and diagnostic facilities were constructed and Veterinary Anatomy’s role as a central collegiate facility began to decline. Currently, the building is outmoded and fails to meet building codes. Nevertheless, it remains a campus and collegiate icon with a strong historical association for CVM alumni and for the history of veterinary medical education.

Based upon a 1998 architectural report, the building is structurally sound and is a viable candidate for renovation. The entire structure provides 14,898 gross square feet of which 12,307 are assignable square feet (ASF). Practically speaking, useable space includes 4,666 ASF on the first floor main building, 2,000 ASF in the south “shed/gambrel area”, 886 ASF in the circular amphitheater and 4,755 ASF on the second floor. Its current University occupancy code is “office/lab”.

Based upon collegiate needs and the design of the Veterinary Anatomy Building, the most effective use of its space is for seminar rooms, administrative offices and the veterinary gallery. The building’s design lends itself to these three primary functions. CVM’s administrative offices’ current location in Bldg 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital is extremely poor. CVM needs to relocate its administrative offices to a position that is visible, identifiable and accessible, such as the location of Veterinary Anatomy. Once vacated, this space will be remod- eled to serve another CVM programmatic need – translational research.

As background, CVM’s mission includes research, service and teaching. Basic research is primarily concentrated in buildings 371, 374 and 416. Maintaining researcher proximity is essential, therefore such programs are best situated in their current quarters. CVM’s clinical service functions are situated in Bldg 371 and 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospitals and again, proximity to similar services is most efficient. Didactic teaching is accomplished in two lecture/lab rooms in Bldg 374-Veterinary Sciences plus two large lecture rooms in Bldg 416-Animal Sciences/Veterinary Medicine.

The CVM has a decided lack of space for small seminar group interactions and when it occurs, this activity is accomplished on a “make do” basis – which often means in hallways or public commons areas. Such an environment is less than conducive to effective teaching or

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 21 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan

communication. Veterinary Anatomy’s first and second floors will easily provide space necessary to serve small group activities. The building’s structure lends itself to such a service because the load bearing walls establish boundaries that nicely match the requirements of seminar or office space. A modern medical college situated in a large university requires space dedicated to administrative offices. Veteri- nary Anatomy’s first and second floors will ideally match this need. The Dean’s Office and associated administrative functions require approximately 32 FTE’s. They are currently housed on the 4th floor of the clinical facility - Bldg 427. Using the Minnesota Facility Model, these 32 FTE positions generate a minimal space requirement of 4800 ASF, which is readily available on either floor, alone or in combination. Furthermore, Old Anatomy’s second floor structural layout lends itself to an office and conference room format because these functions were sited there when the building was first constructed. The pre-design initiative will identify a combination of potential layouts for offices and seminar rooms.

Veterinary Anatomy possesses one exceptional feature - the circular amphitheater. Since the entire building is historically significant, locating a veterinary gallery in the amphitheater will serve to connect the present with the past. The CVM desires to acknowledge the entire range of accomplishments and activities of the veterinary medical profession. Through the museum, its visitors will experience, recognize and value those accomplishments.

Relocating administrative offices from Bldg 427 to a renovated Veterinary Anatomy will provide space for translational research. As noted above, basic research is located in other CVM buildings. Since translational research applies basic findings to real life medical problems, it is best located in Bldg 427 - the clinical facility. Ready access to hospital animal patients and the supporting faculty and staff ensure more effective and efficient research programs.

The College of Veterinary Medicine is very excited about the potential remodeling of the Veterinary Anatomy. It is an historic structure and an icon for CVM alumni and for the St Paul Campus. It will serve as an administrative center as well as a place to conduct small group seminars. Its renovation will free space in Bldg 427, which can be converted into a valuable translational research center.

Finally, the Veterinary Anatomy will further serve as a visible anchor for all visitors to the College. CVM receives more than 50,000 annual visits from hospital clients, seminar participants, prospective students and their families. Providing them with a functional reminder of the rich traditions of veterinary medicine can only enhance their visit to campus.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 22 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 2.62 Programmatic Need Statement for the Dairy Cattle Barn

Built in 1907, the Dairy Barn is one of the few “Jacobean” style buildings remaining at the University. Early in the 20th century, it served as a center for the study of dairy cattle as well as a source of pride for the St Paul Campus and its expanding agricultural programs. Minnesota’s vibrant dairy industry assured that the Barn would continue to serve agriculture faculty, staff and students plus the larger agricultural community.

Over the course of time, the dairy industry has been consolidated and current teaching techniques include methodologies that are far more advanced than were the case 90 years ago. The St Paul Campus has likewise changed. When the Diary Barn was completed almost a century ago, the campus included many barns, coops and sheds. Today, nearly all of those structures have been demolished, replaced by modern classrooms, research facilities and service centers. The Dairy Barn stands as a reminder of a by-gone era.

That by-gone era can be melded with today’s programs. The College of Veterinary Medicine, as part of its facilities development planning process, identified a strong need for commons space – a place for students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to gather, to learn, to teach and to share experiences and ideas. Presently, the College lacks such a space. There is no single facility that is large enough to accommodate either the faculty or the student body in one place. The college’s four student classes are segregated into different buildings and different lecture halls. The Dairy Barn, renovated into a commons space, will admirably fulfill this need. Proposed uses include: • state of the art classroom with minimum capacity of 120 students • three multi-purpose modularly configured seminar rooms • computer lab with Internet access • a variety of recreational areas • a large commons space for socialization and relaxation • an exterior garden including a gazebo and reflecting pool

A renovated Dairy Barn will add 12,000 ASF to the College and University. The functions identified above can be easily designed into the building. Two full floors of unimproved space are readily available and can be rehabilitated without significant structural adjustments. Furthermore, the barn is located literally across the street from the new Gortner Avenue Parking Ramp thereby enabling easy and safe access to visiting alumni, friends and visitors.

The College of Veterinary Medicine is very excited about renovating the Dairy Cattle Barn. Alumni have already contributed some funds toward this goal. It will enhance student’s learning experiences and provide a community resource to be used by anyone who has a connection to the veterinary and agricultural communities.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 23 3 College Campus Summary January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 3.1 Entry Points and Circulation

The entry points to the complex are many, diffused and dispersed throughout. This is positive in the sense that they provide distinct and separate entry points for the different functions within the complex. However it presents a serious security problem for the college. A remedy to this issue would be the elimination of certain redundant entry points without compromising the functional separation of the various required entries.

Yet, what is missing from this complex is a strong identified organizing center that will encompass the entry points of all functions, excluding those of service. Such a center could be formed at the north end of the complex in the area defined by the Veterinary Anatomy, Dairy Cattle Barn, Animal Sciences/Veterinary Medicine and the north part of Veterinary Teaching Hospital-427 buildings. It would incorporate the main entry points of CVM Administration, Students/Faculty and Clients/Patients to the Small Animal Hospital.

Internal circulation currently takes place uninterrupted throughout all CVM buildings via a network of corridors, a grade link and a sky- way. Future renovation of the Dairy Cattle Barn to Student Commons will necessitate the direct connection of this building to the Animal Science/Veterinary Medicine building, via a grade-enclosed link.

3.2 Pedestrian Access

Pedestrians come to the complex from all parts of the campus and from nearly every direction. This multi-directional pedestrian traffic again needs to be funneled in a common, well-identified and recognizable physical center, and directed accordingly to its various functional entry points.

To this effect, the complex needs an outdoor plaza type of space and the creation of visually pleasing formal and informal, tree lined directional pedestrian paths. Path paving materials should be interesting, diverse, safe and durable.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 25 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 3.3 Service Access

The service area at CVM is well concealed from the public. It is inconspicuous, centralized and effective, serving directly all CVM facilities. It is located in an open courtyard, created by Buildings 371, 374 and 385. It is entered and exited from either Boyd Avenue to the west or Gortner Avenue to the east, via an underpass located in Building 385- Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories. Its entrances are both well defined and not conflicting with other vehicular or pedestrian traffic, especially those of the public and students.

It is suggested, however, that it be provided with some landscape planting areas at its perimeter by means of planters and some small to medium size trees, to create visual relief for people within it and those who look into it from the surrounding buildings.

3.4 Parking

Observation on parking, outdoors recreation, green/landscape planting areas, tree canopy and pedestrian path networks revealed and confirmed the following:

1. Contract Parking for employees appears to be sufficient with the recent 752 cars Gortner Ramp addition. • Public spaces: 377 • Contract spaces: 375 • Other employee contract parking is the entire 138 cars surface Lot SC 153

2. Student Parking appears sufficient although most of it - over 1,000 - spaces is at quite a distance from the Vet Med complex, located on surface Lot S 108, which is leased from the Fairgrounds. Other Student/ Public parking is available at: • Lot S 101-240 spaces at corner of Cleveland and Commonwealth • Gortner Ramp-377 spaces

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 26 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan

3. Client/Patient Parking of 44 total spaces is currently located at the open L-shaped area defined by Building 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Veterinary Anatomy and Dairy Cattle Barn buildings and Gortner Ramp, known as Lot SC 157 and leased by CVM from the University’s Parking and Transportation Services. • These parking spaces are critical to the Small Animal Hospital operation and services, and are exclusively assigned to it. • A total of 44 spaces must be maintained at all times in the future. However, the current location of these spaces needs to be rear- ranged within this immediate area to create better visibility and accessibility to the Small Animal Hospital entrance and equally provide open and green space in front and along the east entrance of the Dairy Cattle Barn at the time of its anticipated renovation to Student Commons. • At the time of such rearrangement, the majority of the north-south leg of the present L-shaped parking lot, which currently contains 27 of the 44 spaces, should be developed to a plaza of outdoor landscape planting areas and pedestrian walking paths and activities, while the east side of the north-south leg will be developed to 11 parking spaces along the west side of the Veterinary Anatomy. • 26 additional spaces will be developed at the east side of the Veterinary Anatomy building and screened all around-especially from Gortner- with dense green foliage and other landscape elements, while the remaining 8 spaces will be maintained on Vet Anatomy their present location, along the north side of Building 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital. • This would consolidate a total of 34 spaces front and directly north of the Small Animal Hospital entrance in a straight line, with 11 additional spaces

along the west side of the Veterinary Anatomy. Dairy Cattle Barn This new parking area will be still entered at the current entrance off Gortner Avenue and be exited at the other end off Fitch Avenue. • In this scenario, the total parking spaces will be

increased by 1 to 45, and the SAH entrance will be Vet Teaching significantly more visible, accessible and in closer Hospitals proximity for most clients.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 27 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 3.5 Identity, Visibility and Accessibility

The CVM complex lacks certain elements of identity, visibility and accessibility. Although each of these important planning aspects has its own meaning and impact, they are all interrelated. When properly defined and established, these can contribute highly to the strength, success and harmonious operation of any group of facilities and programs. In CVM’s case there are three fundamental areas negatively affected by the absence of these planning aspects:

1. The entrance to the Small Animal Hospital (SAH) and its parking area are obscured from Gortner Avenue and are not clearly marked. 2. The entrance to the College’s Administration resembles an emergency stairway exit door rather than the main entryway/gateway to a major University College. 3. The area’s overall lack of an identified gateway center.

Causes for the aforementioned deficiencies may be attributed to the following:

1. Lack of proper directional signage around and within the complex, in terms of cohesive and adequately displayed information. 2. Lack of monument type signage at key gateways and entry points. 3. Exceedingly overgrown landscape foliage obscures signage and visibility to key client/patient parking areas and entry points. 4. Lack of proper and adequate nighttime illumination to maintain continuous visibility and accessibility throughout the night. 5. Poor quality of building-attached signage. 6. Lack of a comprehensive, interesting and diverse outdoor organizational space that could better identify the surrounding buildings, entry points, and parking and recreational areas.

Recent modifications on items 1 & 3 above, have already significantly improved the overall situation. However, this is only the begining in a long list of corrective actions needed in order to provide true and lasting identity, visibility and accessibility to the CVM complex. Other corrective actions include, but are not limited to:

1. The renovation of the Veterinary Anatomy as the CVM Administration’s new home, and that of the Dairy Cattle Barn as the CVM Commons. 2. The rearrangement of the SAH clients/patients parking area. 3. Provision of visible and appealing identification signage, for gateways, buildings and entries. 4. Building and ground lighting for night time operation. 5. Development of outdoors green and recreational areas linking a wide range of diverse activities. Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 28 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 3.6 Mass Transit

The CVM Facilities Development Plan assumes the modal split (percent of auto versus transit) will continue to be approximately the same as it is today. This means that the visitor population is predominately accessing the campus and the complex by car. Students, faculty, and staff are using various modes, including car, transit bicycle and walking. As is the case now, those taking the bus to the campus will arrive or depart at designated stops along Cleveland Avenue.

The veterinary profession has a rich and long-standing tradition in the state of Minne- sota. The College of Veterinary Medicine is proud to have played a significant role in the profession for more than half a century.

The first formal veterinary practice in Minnesota began in 1872. By 1890, a Veteri- nary Teaching Hospital was in place on the St Paul campus. This hospital, a wooden frame structure, was used to provide teaching clinics for those interested in veterinary medical topics. In 1901 a brick two-story structure attributed to Charles Aldrich was constructed on campus and named the “Veterinary Building”. It housed the original Diagnostic Laboratory as well as classrooms, a surgery suite, an instrument room, a dark room and a museum. It still stands today - the oldest remaining structure on campus and a symbol of the College’s roots to campus and to the profession. Its only change has been its name - now known as “ Veterinary Anatomy”.

By the end of World War II, strong organizing efforts by returning GI’s resulted in the establishment of a School of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to this time, the University had organized veterinary course work and programs within the College of Agricul- ture. In the autumn of 1947, the School of Veterinary Medicine admitted its charter class and many of the classes were offered in a building called “Temporary East of Haecker” - a relocated army barracks. It was cold in winter, hot in summer, drafty and generally a substandard educational facility. However, it was home to a new program.

The next few years saw fast and furious facilities growth. A new Teaching Hospital was completed in 1950; a new Veterinary Science building completed in 1952; a new Diagnostic Laboratory in 1957. Likewise in 1957, the School achieved full accreditation and elevated status to the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Soon after accreditation, the College continued to add to its facilities. In 1958, the Veterinary Science Building was expanded to include library space and the College

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 31 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan

gained access to research facilities at Rosemount. The Diagnostic Lab expanded in 1961 and with that, further building went on hiatus for a decade.

Temporary East of Haecker, the former army barracks, saw the end of its useful life in 1972. It was demolished to enable the construction of a new lecture/research facility. This building, Animal Science/Veterinary Medicine was completed in 1976 and continues to play an important role in the College’s mission.

The original Teaching Hospital was provided a modest remodeling in 1972. However, by the mid 70’s, it was apparent that a more modern and larger facility was necessary to accommodate the ever-increasing demand for veterinary care especially for com- panion animals. Following strong lobbying efforts, a new Teaching Hospital was designed and construction completed in 1982. This facility added more than 120,000 square feet to the College for clinical, diagnostic and teaching services. The new construction also provided for renovation of a portion of the original Teaching Hospital.

The final two major collegiate facilities enhancements were a new Raptor Center facility completed in 1987 and a new Diagnostic Laboratory completed in 1991.

Renovation continues in the College. CVM continues to upgrade laboratories and teaching facilities to meet current conditions. New building facilities are also being planned for the future, to enable the college to grow and meet the ever-increasing demands for its services.

For more than a century, the St Paul Campus has been the home to a variety of veterinary facilities. Today, the College of Veterinary Medicine utilizes more than 500,000 square feet of space and its facilities enable its faculty, staff and students to fulfill their respective service missions to the community.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 32 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 4.2 Architecture

The predominant architectural character is that of a rural environment, visually belying the highly energetic teaching and research that occurs within this urban site. The Veterinary Medicine complex is an eclectic mix of building styles that collectively represent in architectural terms the physical development of the College. Several architectural styles are represented, including Renaissance revival, Crafts- man, Tudor, Art Deco and International. All styles represented are not strict representations, but are rather interpretations as primarily designed by Charles R. Aldrich, Clarence H. Johnston, and Ellerbe, all eminent pioneers in American Architecture. The earliest structure in the complex is the Old Anatomy Building (Charles R. Aldrich, 1901), with the Veterinary Diagnostic Labs Addition (Lindberg/Pierce, 1991) being the most current.

4.3 Site

The Veterinary Medicine complex district is, like the architecture, not homogeneous. It is built on a steeply slopping terrain, from North to South. On the North, Fitch Avenue fronts the complex, and is opposite an informal open quadrangle bounded by a new sympathetically designed parking facility. On the South, the complex is bounded by Commonwealth Avenue, and is opposite both open space and the campus Steam Plant. To the East, adding to the rural character, the complex sits opposite to the State Fairgrounds. The complex is also bisected on the east side by the Gortner Axis, a green landscaped link connecting the Bowl and Ridge District and north agricultural fields with the animal related teaching and research areas on the southern end of the campus. The historic Lawn District whose designed historic landscape and ensemble of historic buildings serves as the campus “front-door” bounds the complex on the West.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 33 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 4.4 Streetscape Development and Edge Definition

The streetscape adjacent and within the CVM complex should promote a sense of community, warmth, personal security and comfort. It should also make it easy for staff, students, clients and patients to find their way to and through the CVM complex. The principles for streetscape development are listed as follows:

1. Maintain a consistent vocabulary of signage, trash containers, bike racks, lighting, seating, and other street accessories. 2. Establish monuments at important CVM gateways that provide directional and historical information 3. Increase the quantity of landscape planting areas by adding low colorful plantings that do not restrict visibility along street side edges. 4. Use practical, easy-to-maintain and consistent terrace and side walk paving.

4.5 Interior Spaces

The development of public spaces inside buildings must also help to unify the CVM complex, convey comfort and security, and provide clear wayfinding. The background colors and materials should be light, simple and easy to maintain. Unique features will stand in contrast to the general background. The principal circulation corridors must be linked. Connections should be clarified via designed themes of CVM iconic motifs.

The principles to maintain for interior design include: 1. Use of practical, easy to maintain and light colored finishes as a unifying background for main corridors. 2. Use of neutral colors to establish graphic continuity and simplify signage. 3. Reduce glare in brightly lit corridors by screening or concealing light sources. 4. Use patterns and colors of flooring to conceal soiling, provide effective traction and simplify maintenance. 5. Use consistent detailing for doors, windows and accessories throughout public spaces. 6. Maximize windows and doors connecting to exterior areas. 7. Avoid trendy or unusual furniture and details. Interior design should be simple and timeless. 8. Create a consistent system for locating directional signage and communication/information panels

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 34 5 Developmental Steps January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 5.1 Implementation Sequence of CVM’s Facilities Development Plan

The future growth of the College of Veterinary Medicine is in the Clinical, Research and Education Programs.

Implementation incorporates new construction and renovation of existing facilities alike. Depending on when funds become available, some of the listed future projects/steps could be implemented simultaneously such as the Equine Facility, the renovation of the Veterinary Anatomy and the Dairy Cattle Barn, and the construction of a new BL-3 level Isolation Facility.

However, the more likely scenario for implementation is outlined in the development steps listed below that addresses the stated program priorities of the College of Veterinary Medicine and the required steps of phasing construction according to space and funding availability.

5.2 Development Path

• Construct the new 41,000 asf Equine Facility. This will free 15,770 asf of space in sections A&B on the second floor of Building 371-Large Animal Veterinary Teaching Hospital. • Develop the vacated 15,770 asf, on the second floor of Building 371-Large Animal Teaching Hospital, to possibly house a new 250 seats-auditorium, 5-seminar rooms of 20-25 persons capacity, and the Clinical Program expansion. • Renovate the available 2,140 asf on the third floor of Building 371 and 2,200 asf, of current lecture room 145 in Building 374 for the Research Program expansion. • Renovate Building 316-Veterinary Anatomy to house the CVM Administration, currently located in Building 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the Veterinary Gallery. • Renovate the vacated 9,200 asf by CVM’s Administration on the fourth floor of Building 427-Veterinary Teaching Hospital, for the expansion of the Research Program “Translational Research”, and the Clinical Program. • Renovate the 12,000 asf Dairy Cattle Barn to house a 120 seats classroom, 3 seminar rooms, a computer lab, indoors-recreational areas and commons for students, faculty and alumni. • Construct a new BL-3 Isolation Facility, which will be the only one in the State. Given CVM’s landlocked current location and the need for the new Isolation Facility to be in a very close proximity to the CVM complex, it is suggested to combine this program with the 6,000 asf of the existing AHC’s Isolation Facility-Buildings 386 A&B, which are located on Gortner Avenue, across from the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories-Building 385. Take down the existing AHC Isolation Facility and construct in its place a new contemporary 26,000 asf BL-3 Isolation Facility.

Academic Health Center . University of Minnesota 36 January 2002 College of Veterinary Medicine . Facilities Development Plan 5.3 The Next Step

Every individual University capital project is expected to contribute to the advancement of all the essential campus elements such as built form, landscape, and circulation. All University capital projects follow planning processes that inform decision-makers, guide design professionals, and support implementation of the Twin Cities Campus Master Plan principles and policies. The next step to this Facilities Development Plan is to seek, receive and incorporate input from all internal and external stakeholders in the development of this area of the Saint Paul Campus. Formal Predesign Documents will then be developed for each individual capital project identified, in the Devel- opment Path, following a University modified State of Minnesota Predesign Format. Project specific Predesign Documents include programmatic, physical, financial, schedule, environmental, and community impact analysis, along with substantive design guidelines.
