UW-Milwaukee Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment | 3

Letter of Interest | Uihlein/Wilson, in association with HOK and Paulien

As the leader of the Design Team for the Wisconsin Union Redevelopment Project – Theater Wing Renovation, Uihlein/Wilson Architects organized and led over 15 multi-day programming sessions. Stakeholders included students, staff, administrators, UW Madison FP&M staff, and DFD. The UWA Design Team also organized a benchmark tour of sailing clubs, lakefront venues, art venues, and theater facilities to help formulate the final Design Program for this project.

To illustrate the depth of our team’s experience, the following is a matrix of our most recent and relevant projects.

Our approach is centered on helping our clients discover “what works” for them. Our project team understands that the Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment project is unique. While we will bring our many years of experience with similar academic science facilities to the table, we will focus on initiatives that meet the specific needs of UW students, faculty and the larger community.

Interactive Process — Our interactive programming and planning process begins with understanding your goals and objectives, and gaining understanding of specific owner and user criteria, identifying critical safety data, establishing milestone dates, and agreeing on clear communication techniques. Only then do we focus on developing appropriate solutions. Our goal is to reach key decisions through collaboration with you in an interactive and timely manner.

Letter of Interest | Uihlein/Wilson, in association with HOK and Paulien

A key feature of our approach for similar projects is creating programming and design teams that are organized around the key programmatic and technical challenges of highly integrated facilities. We organize interdisciplinary, inter-departmental teams as the basis of our investigation into programmatic requirements. The benefit of this approach is providing an advocate for each department and College/Institute, as well as other stakeholders. This allows each user group to have an advocate for their issues, and allows the various programmatic elements to develop and be integrated easily into the whole.

We conduct Planning and Programming as a series of interactive workshops designed to collect, analyze and synthesize all relevant project data into actionable recommendations with the endorsement of users and faculty. The workshops are designed to be engaging, to create a serious deliberative dialogue between user and design professional. Our Problem Seeking® method is renowned as being the professional foundation for sound programming, and is considered the gold standard of service.

Parallel to the programming sessions we will lead a Discovery and Diagnostics approach to understanding and assessing the existing conditions and future potential of the existing building in the Quadrant. We will evaluate the utility infrastructure, MEP systems, existing structures, capacity and suitability for future programmatic elements. During the Concept phase of the project we will work with the University to strategically craft a ‘road map’ that will layer in the schedule, funding, operational sequencing, and a preferred development scenario as a deliverable.

The following graph represents the design process we would propose to use to complete the Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment Plan.

Building and infrastructure assessmentExisting building assessments are an important first step of multi-building and complex master planning efforts, and our team is very familiar with these important assessments. For the Wisconsin Union Redevelopment Project, Uihlein/Wilson completed a complete facilities assessment, which included over six days of field measuring and photo documentation, digital scanning of the Union Theater and the exterior of the building, historic paint analysis, etc. The assessment included analysis of the existing MEP, T, FP systems, as well as structural analysis of the existing frame and building envelope. The Memorial Union project is a key example of how neighborhood planning needs to be considered with Campus Projects.

HOK has also provided similar assessments for the UW-Madison WIMR project, which started with an extensive evaluation of the existing facilities during the initial planning stages. Members of our team have also conducted similar evaluations for projects such as the University of Georgia Biosciences Feasibility Study, the Georgia Tech Life Sciences & Technology Complex master planning efforts, and the William Paterson University Science Hall Renovation and Addition. At Missouri Western State University, HOK team members took the University through an interactive, detailed programming and design process, and the resulting project entailed a renovation and a building addition with a connecting atrium and active campus link.

Uihlein/Wilson and Ring & DuChateau, as two local firms with experience on the UW-Milwaukee campus, will lead the building and infrastructure assessment elements, with input from HOK, including both architectural and buildings systems/utilities assessments. Our team often provides on-site analysis and assessment of current facilities, interacting closely with client and specific user groups to learn everything we can about general, specific, short and long-range needs. We will use this same process for the Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment project. Our team members HOK and Ring & DuChateau demonstrated a similar success in planning and designing another high profile, urban, and complex project in Milwaukee at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital.

Both Ring & DuChateau and PSJ Engineering, our designated plumbing and fire protection engineer, have also been collaborating on the Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment, which has included a review of existing buildings and plans as part of the project’s Facility Condition Assessment.

Wisconsin building and energy standards, Building Code and Milwaukee Zoning requirementsThe Uihlein/Wilson team, with its local presence and knowledge of the UW-Milwaukee campus, is familiar with Wisconsin building and energy standards, as well as the Wisconsin Building Code and all WISBUILD components. As a Milwaukee-based firm, Uihlein/Wilson will easily be able to provide “on the ground” support and is familiar with all City of Milwaukee zoning requirements.

Cost estimating and scheduling for new and renovated buildingsUihlein/Wilson is considered a leader in cost modeling and budget development with DFD. Our team brings strong experience with both new construction and renovation/remodeling projects. Education facility renovation and remodeling efforts can often be challenging, and require careful planning to address cost and budgetary issues, as well as to address the importance of continued operations during construction. These are issues our team is well accustomed to addressing. We have completed laboratory and science facility renovation projects at institutions such as University of Georgia, US Naval Academy and William Paterson University.

Our team has significant experience with planning and designing science and research facilities that must meet specific budget goals. With these projects, rather than utilizing a traditional approach to monitoring construction costs, our team often employs a more systematic approach to tracking construction costs. Throughout the project, we will utilize “in-house” as well as consultant-assisted pricing techniques, with Boldt, a well established local construction management firm, in the lead to model and update the project cost based on local market knowledge and building type expertise. We also recognize the impact of cost pressures on tuition. The future sustainability of our public education facilities needs to be considered through an economic and environmental lens.

Stakeholder managementEach institution has its own personality and priorities. It is our priority to understand more fully UW-Milwaukee and how it accomplishes teaching and research, so we can provide the most effective response to user needs. We also know it is important that we provide leadership, expertise and national/international science planning perspectives to help guide these decisions while considering the specific needs and requests of users and faculty.

Our team believes strongly in the power of user input through an interactive process. As the Southwest Quadrant Redevelopment plan must guide the physical development of UW-Milwaukee over the next 20 years, this involvement is even more important. Throughout the feasibility process, we will include user groups such as students, faculty, administrative staff, UW System Administration, Division of Facilities Development and other state agencies such as DNR and WSHS. We also anticipate that a number of other stakeholders might be involved during the study, including UW-Milwaukee leadership, Board of Regents, State Building Commission, City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County, wider UW-Milwaukee community and neighbors and alumni.

Interacting with core user groups for UW’s science facilities will also be crucial to the success of the planning process. These groups will include: College of Letters & Sciences (Mathematical Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry); College of Engineering & Applied Sciences (Civil/Mechanics, Computer, Electrical, Industrial & Manufacturing, Materials, Mechanical); Multidisciplinary Research Institute (Biological Sciences, Geosciences, Public Health, Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Psychology); and Parking and Transit.

During the redevelopment planning process, we will work with UW-Milwaukee’s designated “core team,” who will help facilitate focus groups and planning sessions with identified stakeholders. We understand the organizational, scientific, curriculum and administrative challenges facing our college and university clients. We have a proven process that accommodates the needs of busy faculty and administrators. Our approach allows stakeholders to be involved in the programming and design process and making informed decision making without disrupting their many other responsibilities.

We have a proven track record of working with faculty, staff and trustees. We are typically engaged in this capacity with virtually all of the colleges and universities with whom we work. We provide extensive program documents and creative concept prototypes that are engaging and attractive to donors and trustees. We also have an excellent track record with our clients for building consensus among faculties and departments with competing goals.

M / W/ D B E C O M M I T M E N TOur team is committed to including M/W/DBE firms in our planning and design projects to meet the goals of our higher education clients. Uihlein/Wilson is committed to meeting DFD’s M/W/DBE goals for this project, and we have included PSJ Engineering, an MBE-certified firm, as an important member of our team. We are prepared to augment our team with additional firms to meet DFD’s goals.

Paulien & Associates Inc. has performed two studies at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse (UWLC). The most recent is a study to develop the academic space requirements as part of the team working on the Cowley Hall building program pre-design phase. UWLC is working towards new and renovated facilities for the academic departments of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and general purpose classrooms. The detailed program space allocation included classrooms, science laboratories, research laboratories, academic offices and support areas, and collaborative learning spaces.

Paulien & Associates was also retained to provide the project team with a verification of the program for a new Academic Building. The new Academic Building contains over 60,000 ASF for classrooms. Paulien & Associates also performed a campus-wide classroom mix study. This study provided the campus with the quantity and size of classrooms at a target enrollment mix to inform the building program.

Other occupants of the building as identified during the conceptual programming include such diverse programs as International Education, the College of Liberal Arts and Studies Dean’s Office, Student Support Services, Academic Advising, and other academic support services. The types of spaces being designed into the new building include classroom space, office space, conference space, computer laboratory space, distance and education space, and a large gathering hall with serving kitchen.

U N I V E R S I T Y O F V E R M O N TBurlington, Vermont

Paulien & Associates has completed five major planning projects for the University of Vermont including benchmarking, space needs, and utilization as well as detailed studies for the College of Education and Social Services, Psychology research space, and College of Engineering and Mathematics.

Paulien & Associates was asked to return to the University of Vermont to provide an updated space needs analysis. The space needs study included college by college space needs analysis and a benchmarking study at the college level. Major academic units included in the study were the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Education and Social Services, Engineering and Mathematics, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and Business Administration as well as the School of Environment and Natural Resources. Paulien & Associates performed the comprehensive space needs analysis at existing enrollment levels and assessed the space implications of the expected increase in enrollment.
