New 50 Meter Swimming Pool with diving and dry practice area, added deck space, spectator seating, and all support needs 1B. West Side Football Stadium improvements including spectator amenities, club, chair seating, press box, visiting team accommodations, bathrooms, concessions, ADA 2. Wrestling/Volleyball expansion additional seating (2000-3000), clear entrance, spectator accommodations Recreation at UW – Summary of Space Needs New Recreation and Wellness Center is a wonderful asset and Campus Recreation enjoys a cooperative relationship with Athletics, however, there are some additional needs: • Indoor turf space—use of Indoor Practice Facility is very helpful, but it’s not available at peak demand times • Shared facilities • Synthetic turf multi-purpose outdoor field with lights, could be shared • Access to a new swimming pool, could be shared Wellness at UW – Key Takeaways • Trend in overall health and well-being on college campuses is to combine services into one convenient location • Many campuses have their Student Health Service and Counseling Services combined • Ideal location near other student services, i.e. Wyoming Union, Half Acre • UW looking to combine these services in the future. One option is to include these services in the upcoming Wyoming Union visioning/planning sessions Key Analysis Findings Campus Structure Campus Zones • Geographically, the campus can be divided into five zones: the Historic Core, the Central Campus, the East Campus, the North Campus, and the Northeast Campus Union Pacific Railroad North Northeast Historic Core Downtown Central Laramie East Historic Railway Station Building Age Development pattern from west to east The Early Campus (1887-1917) Expansion in the Twenties (1917-1929) The Depression Years (1929-1941) War and Postwar Expansion (1941-1969) N The Modern University (1969-1992) Beyond the Centennial (1992-Present) References: University of Wyoming Urban Design Structure 15th street becomes a major connection between the Historic Core and Central Campus N MyCampus Findings – Campus Boundaries • The perceived campus boundaries are generally considered to be 9th, 22nd, Grand, and Harney Key Analysis Findings Landscape and Open Space MyCampus Findings - Favorite Open Spaces Cemetery • Prexy’s Pasture is a “The cemetery is a beautiful place
