The team in charge of developing the UW-Madison Campus Master Plan presented the analysis and conceptual framework for an updated version of the plan at an open house discussion Tuesday.
The 2015 Master Plan Update builds off the last Master Plan that was introduced almost 10 years ago. While the last version focused on building projects, the new version focuses more on infrastructure, landscape architecture and making outdoor spaces more usable.
Ideas contributing to this draft were constructed using numerous studies and data analyses of existing conditions on campus. Areas of interest include parking, water drainage, use of open spaces and predicted concentration of students and faculty.
Public comment at the presentation expanded on these issues, with some concerned citizens targeting lakeshore lighting, dangerous intersections near the UW Hospital and availability of handicapped parking as areas that need to be considered by the group.
Presentation of the initial draft of the 2015 Master Plan Update is scheduled for Oct. 27.
