President Harrington, in presenting the gifts and grants (EXHIBIT A | | _ attached), noted that there were quite a few more unrestricted gifts, which are | _ wy helpful because of their flexibility. He noted a number of gifts and | geants indicative of the different sources of the funds and of the different _ purposes for which they are tobe used. He ealled particular attention to the — | grent of one million dollars from the National Institutes of Health for construc~ 7 | tion and equipment of the Biotron, which supplements grants for this project from other sources. Regent Jensen inquired whether all of the funds for the Biotron | were in sight; and Vice President Peterson reported that all of the funds had been committed, about four and one-half million dollars. President Harrington noted _ that grants for this project were received from two federal agencies and several _ of | | a ; , | | regular Board 10/11/63 me : private foundations; and that the building would be utilized, not only by | | | the University of Wisconsin, but also by staff members from other universities | doing research in the environmental sciences. © no | ee | Upon motion of Regent Steiger, seconded by Regent Pasch, it was | _ VOTED, That the gifts and grants listed in EXHIBIT A be accepteds | and that the appropriate officers of the University be authorized to sign the ae | agreements. : | oe | Oe ce | In presenting the recommendation for approval of actions taken by the | President of the University since the last meeting of the Regents, President _ a Harrington stated that a report would be made later in the meeting regarding the | proposed salary level of items to be included in this report, | _ Upon motion of Regent Rothwell, seconded by Regent Gelatt, it was . VOTED, That the actions taken by the President of the University | ss gince the last meeting of the Regents, relating to appointments, resignations, — | Leaves of absence, and change of status of personnel with rank less than that — , of Associate Professor, which are included in the file of employment forms | | | - presented at this meeting, and the non-resident tuition remissions, be approved, ratified, and confirmed. , i ae | | oe re | CO 7 oo fo oo - Referring to the action taken by the Regents at the precediyig meeting, | | | ss yegarding the membership and responsibilities of the Madison Campygs Planning Committee and the Milwaukee Campus Planning Committee, President Marrington | reported on the changes that had been made in these committees,’ Regarding the _ Milwaukee Campus Planning Committee, he reported that the Vicé Provost of UW-M Bo and the Vice President for Academic Affairs had been added in order to provide closer contact between the central administration of the University and UW-M; | oe ard that the Director of Physical Plant at Madison and the Business Manager of | ‘UW-Milwaukee had been removed from the committee to make it a smaller committee. | He noted that the Director of Physical Plant at Milwaukee and the Secretary of the UW-M faculty would be on the committee without vote. He reported that the only © oe - membership change made in the Madison Campus Planning Committee was to make the © Vice President for Business Affairs an alternate member to represent the Vice | a | President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President and Trust Officer, when they are absent. He reported that the role of the Madison Campus Planning — | Committee had been redesigned to enlarge its jurisdiction over the University | Center System, since it was felt that the Madison Campus Planning Committee : | | - ghould be involved to a greater extent in the early planning regarding the de- OO | velopment of University centers. He reported the Madison Campus Planning | . : Committee also had been given greater jurisdiction over farm properties such as the Rieder and Charmany Farms. President Harrington also reported that new _ . procedures had been developed for checking various types of projects and building priorities by the Madison Campus Planning Committee; and that the Deans of the ae | University are to have more jurisdiction in planning and screening projects. - oe | | oe Regular Board 10/11/63 = -=3 oe | | | President Harrington presented the following recommendation: | a . That the preliminary plans and specifications for the UW-Milwaukee | | | - | - Classroom and Laboratory Buildifg No. 1 (Bureau of Engineering | | | , Project No. 6207-7) be approved; and that authority be granted a : - for the preparation of final plans and specifications. | | ae President Harrington requested Provost Klotsche to report on this — : : | project. Provost Klotsche showed the proposed location of this building on a | map of the Kenwood Campus; and reported that this structure would house the | | mathematics, engineering, and physics departments. Copies were distributed of —— the outline specifications and budget estimate for this project, totalling a $0,622,240. Provost Klotsche explained that this building was designed to permit additions being built in the future, but that the three above mentioned departments would all be housed in this initial structure. He reported that, under the long | : range plans, that Kenwood Campus west of Maryland Boulevard would be developed : for engineering and sciences. - oe | | a State Architect Galbraith showed and explained floor plans and a model - oe ot’ the building, which is to be of reinforced concrete construction with brick exterior and completely air conditioned. | | rs — o In response to a question by Regent Rothwell as to whether the buildirg - included any unique features, Provost Klotsche indicated that the most important «feature was the flexibility of the building as to usage, because one or more of the | | .- tieree departments would eventually have to be moved out of the building to other | 7 | facilities. Another important feature he noted was the open area at the ground Oo Lavell of one wing of the structure, which he noted as being important in comnection with the traffic flow and the development of the mall as part of the future de~ — | | --vellopment of the Kenwood Campus. Regent Werner inquired, in view of the tight | real estate situation on Milwaukee Campus, whether the University could afford the _ open space on the ground level of the building. Mr. Galbraith explained that it , : aad been decided to leave this area open, in view of uncertainties of future development on the Kenwood Campus, but noted that the area could Later be enclosed | ard utilized. Provost Klotsche stated that it was likely that the next unit of | | this building would be a high rise or tower structure. Regent Greenquist inquired an to the effect on the traffic pattern, if the area was enclosed, and . cee Mr, Galbraith reported that it would have no important effect on the traffic | oettemm, and that the main value of the open area was visual and aesthetic. | | Repent Jensen inquired as to the additional cost, both for construction and for — | a oe heating, because of this open area, which would result in the loss of ground heat Oo to tae structure above the open area. Information was not available on this point. | | tn considering the matter of further study being made regarding this open area, Regent DeBardeleben inquired as to the timing for this building; and was advised : | a by Provost Klotsche that, if everything went well, the building could be occupied | ny September 1965, which was important since it would make it possible to move the engineering department from the downtown campus to the Kenwood Campus which would | complete transferring all of the academic day credit programs to the Kenwood So Sampus. Noting that:the Executive Committee of the Regents would be attending the _ geeting of the Coordinating on October 25, Regent DeBardeleben suggested author-. | - iging the Executive Committee to act on any further modifications of the plans at | | that time, which would involve less delay than waiting until the November meeting _ | of the Regents. | | — | S | co Bs | a a So De oe | | | Regular Board 10/11/63. ~ Co Provost Klotsche noted that the preliminary plans and specifications | required approval of the State Building Commission; and Vice President Peterson — | noted that there would be three meetings of the Building Commission before the oo | middle of November. Provost Klotsche noted that this building was the first oo priority on the building list. Regent Werner stated that his question had been | | adequately answered, and that he was ready to approve the preliminary plans and a specifications as presented.

  • Agricultural Campus
    Agricultural Campus Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions December 2011) Quinn Evans|Architects University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Division of Facilities Planning and Management ©2011, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin-Madison Cultural Landscape Inventory DEFINITIONS What is a “cultural landscape”? The following document is based on concepts and techniques developed by the National Park Service. The NPS has produced a series of manuals for identifying, describing, and maintaining culturally significant landscapes within the national park system.1 The National Park Service defines a cultural landscape as a geographic area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein[,] associated with a historic event, activity, or person, or [one] that exhibits other cultural or aesthetic values.2 In 1925, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) summarized the process that creates cultural landscapes: “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result.” 3 Similarly, the writer J. B. Jackson (1909-1996) looked upon the landscape as a composition of spaces made or modified by humans “to serve as infrastructure or background for our collective existence.”4 What is a “cultural landscape inventory”? 5 This cultural landscape inventory for the agricultural campus is one of eight such studies completed as part of the UW-Madison Cultural Landscape Resource Plan. Each inventory defines the boundaries of a distinct cultural landscape on campus, summarizes its history, describes its current condition, and makes recommendations about its treatment. In addition to these eight cultural landscape inventories, two companion documents address the archaeology and overall history of the campus.

  • Showcase 2018 Program
    Leading the Way with Innovation and Excellence Welcome to UW-Madison’s 19th annual Showcase event, a time set aside to learn from each other and recognize efforts on campus to improve work, learning, and climate. March 21, 2018 8:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m. UW-Madison Union South Sponsored by: Office of Strategic Consulting strategicconsulting.wisc.edu "Faculty and staff across our campus are continually looking for ways to advance learning, research and scholarship, and to better serve our constituents. These efforts are helping us to build an entrepreneurial culture that nourishes creativity and innovation. Showcase is an important opportunity to share success stories and think about how to leverage and scale improvements so that we can maintain excellence while striving to become even more efficient." —Rebecca Blank, Chancellor "Showcase is all about ideas and impact. Faculty and staff, or entire departments, develop new ideas to improve programs or processes that move them toward their goals. What is rewarding and valuable to all of us—and what we come to Showcase to see— is the outcome or positive impact of these ideas. Showcase promotes the sharing of these stories so that ideas can be replicated, improved, perhaps applied to different challenges, and collaborative partnerships can grow. That’s impact!" —Sarah C. Mangelsdorf, Provost “Showcase provides an excellent opportunity to display the wide range of innovations taking place across academic and administrative units. It also highlights the spirit of collaboration, which is a foundation

On June 18, 2019, leaders of UW–Madison and Ho-Chunk Nation dedicated a new heritage marker on Bascom Hill that reads: The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin. -2018 “No plaque or monument can ever adequately convey a complicated and difficult history.

Page 22 Vision In an emotional night for Badger men’s basket- ball, 13-year-old Jerell Moore took the court as an honorary sixth man before the team’s home opener at the Kohl Center. Jerell is the son of Assistant Coach Howard Moore ’95, who was severely injured in a May 2019 car crash that took the lives of his wife and daughter. The Badgers won the No- vember 8 game against Eastern Illinois, and Jerell — who survived the crash himself — enjoyed a poignant moment amid his family’s painful year.
