PROJECT REQUEST: Request the release of $1,214,300 BTF-Planning to complete the predesign phase for the New Museum Complex.
PROJECT NUMBER:
00D1W
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
In October 2013, the SBC authorized the release of $345,000 Building Trust Funds (BTF) to
continue the planning of the New Museum Complex by initiating a Visitor Experience Plan
(VEP). At the October meeting, the SBC was informed that a future request would be forthcoming
in early 2014 to release funds to finish the VEP. As described at that meeting, this plan is an
essential initial project component and will provide the critical foundation for the subsequent
design.
This BTF request will fund the completion of the VEP which will include the development of
interpretive plans and recommendations about exhibit, program, and support spaces. It will
specify how visitors will approach, enter, and experience the museum complex. The final VEP
will also address the complex challenges associated with incorporating two museums in one
facility. In addition, the work funded through this request will provide the gift fundraising
campaign with critical tools needed to continue fundraising efforts for the project. It will also
ensure the project stays on track through continued project planning and management.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The VEP takes nine months to complete and must be finalized by fall 2014 in order to prepare an
accurate request for the 2015-17 Capital Budget. It is important to note that both agencies are
utilizing the same VEP consultant, resulting in efficiencies and savings of approximately
$260,000 BTF.
The New Museum Complex will serve as the new home to both the Wisconsin Historical Museum
and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison. The current facilities are inadequate in size and
lack the necessary environmental conditions to properly preserve collections of Wisconsin’s
historical artifacts. The poor condition of the current museums negatively impacts the visiting
public, limits attendance, and poses a risk to collections of significant historical and economic
value.
BUDGET/SCHEDULE: N/A
PREVIOUS ACTION:
In October 2013, the SBC approved the release of $345,000 BTF – Planning for the continued
preliminary design of the New Museum Complex.

PROJECT REQUEST: Request the following:
a) Approve the Design Report; and
b) Authority to construct the Hill Farms Building D Crime Lab Expansion for an
estimated total cost of $5,221,700 PRSB.
PROJECT NUMBER: 12D2N
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will renovate 11,540 GSF of vacant laboratory space at the Hill Farms Building D to
expand the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Madison Crime Laboratory – DNA Databank Program.
Currently, the Madison Crime Laboratory occupies the first and second floors of the adjacent Hill
Farms Building L.
This project will remodel the existing layout to comply with current lab functions, building codes,
and federal standards. The scope includes updates to the existing mechanical, plumbing,
data/communications infrastructure; updates to the electrical infrastructure; and expansion of the
existing penthouse and basement mechanical rooms to accommodate the additional equipment.
The new space will contain six shared lab stations, a chemistry lab, a high-density storage room,
sweeping room, extraction room, quant/post amp room, robotic room, and support spaces.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
This project will create safe, secure, and efficient space for a modern laboratory dedicated to
DNA analysis of DNA and the entry of that analysis into the local, state, and national DNA
Databank. 2013 Wisconsin Act 20 expanded DOJ’s practice of DNA collection to include taking
samples at the time of arrest for some felonies and serious sex-related offenses. As a result, there
will be an increase in the number of DNA samples requiring analysis. Act 20 also added 26 new
FTE positions to accommodate the additional workload. This expansion will provide the
necessary laboratory space needed to fulfill the increased DNA collection and analysis
requirements.

Blue Mound State Park – Pool and Splash Pad Renovation (13A1U):
Project Description and Justification:
This project will renovate the existing 40 year-old 4,000 SF pool and surrounding deck into a
2,000 SF pool with an interactive, camping-themed, 2,000 SF splash pad. The maximum pool
depth will remain at four feet. An accessible route from the parking lot to the bath house will be
constructed. This project will also replace existing plumbing and mechanical systems located
within the pool house.
The pool house’s interior spaces will be renovated to create ADA compliant restrooms, changing
areas, and showers. Lockers and benches will be provided in each of the changing areas. The
admissions office will also be renovated and a new well will be installed to provide a dedicated
water source for the facility as the existing water line is at the end of its useful life.
The current pool structure and systems are failing and requiring frequent repairs. A systems
failure could occur at any point, causing the pool to close permanently. This renovation will
significantly reduce the operating expenses associated with the pool while providing a much
needed revenue stream for the park.

Richard Bong State Recreation Area – Vern Wolf Lake Dam Repair and Renovation
(13E6L):
Project Description and Justification:
This project will repair and renovate the Vern Wolf Lake Dam which will bring it into
compliance with dam safety and construction administrative rule standards. Vern Wolf Lake is a
93-acre lake located in Kenosha County at the Richard Bong State Recreation Area, which is
eight miles southeast of Burlington on State Highway 142.
In spring 2013, the Vern Wolf Lake Dam was compromised during a series of heavy rainfall
events. DNR staff conducted a successful controlled draw down, and subsequent inspections
determined the dam required extensive repair and renovation. The lake has remained drained
since the events. This project will restore recreational opportunities at the lake including fishing.
The project scope includes a new spillway and repairs to the embankment. It constructs a new
fixed crest drop inlet spillway structure and a new conduit through the existing embankment
breach channel. New embankment fill will be placed to restore the breach channel and new rip
rap will be placed on both the upstream and downstream sides of the spillway.

Northern Highland American Legion State Forest – Campground Connection Trail
(13I4M):
Project Description and Justification:
This project will construct a new paved trail to connect three campgrounds within the Northern
Highland American Legion State Forest (NHAL). The new trail will incorporate existing trails,
woods, and roads, and will avoid the old railway grade which is part of the snowmobile trail
system. The new trail will be approximately five miles long, starting at Indian Mounds
Campground on State Highway 47, going through Clear Lake Campground on Woodruff Road,
and connecting to existing bike lanes at County Highway J to provide access to the Carrol Lake
Campground.
The NHAL consists of 316,965 acres and is located in parts of Oneida, Vilas, and Iron Counties.
It is the busiest multiple use recreation area in the state with over two million users per year.
This project will greatly improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians traveling between
campgrounds or to local businesses. Currently, there are no official crossings on State Highway
47 or bike lanes on Woodruff Road.

PROJECT REQUEST: Request the following:
a) Authority to purchase an approximate 0.19 acre parcel of land and improvements
known as the Fairgrounds Substation for $30,000 GFSB-Land and Property
Acquisition;
b) Authority to construct a 15kV Switchgear project for an estimated total cost of
$4,530,000 ($2,491,500 GFSB − Utility Repair and Renovation and $2,038,500 PRSB);
and
c) Transfer all approved GFSB All Agency allocation to the UW Infrastructure
Maintenance appropriation.
PROJECT NUMBER: 13A2S
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will purchase the approximately 0.19 acre Fairgrounds Substation property from Xcel
Energy located within the campus boundary between the Heating Plant and Mitchell Hall. Two
independent appraisals were conducted and established a fair market property value of $35,000.
Xcel Energy has agreed to sell the property for $30,000.
Once the sale is completed, the substation’s existing antiquated equipment will be removed and
replaced with new state-owned 15kV service switchgear, two 7,500 kVA transformers, and two
capacitor banks. A brick veneer screen wall will be constructed around the perimeter of the
substation. Also, this project will replace the campus 5kV electrical switchgear. A new main-tiemain 5kV circuit breaker line-up will be installed including 13 branch circuit breakers, metering
cubicles, auxiliary power cubical, and DC control power supply. New electrical metering will be
installed on the electrical service at each individual campus building and connected to the campus
building automation system.
Lastly, the project will construct new power conduit and signal conduit ductbanks to four existing
service pits. A new 5kV looped power cable will be installed from the new 5kV switchgear to pit
P22.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The purchase of the substation and the replacement of the antiquated equipment will allow the
campus to purchase power at a 15kV bulk primary rate. This will result in an annual utility cost
savings of about 2% or approximately $28,600 per year based on current electrical rates and
current campus electrical usage. The existing open energized buss structures will be eliminated to
afford greater electrical safety. Replacement of transformers in the same general location will
avoid the high cost of conduit and power cable relocation.
The existing switchgear was installed in 1967. This switchgear has reached the end of its useful
life and repair parts are difficult to obtain. The installation of a main-tie-main configuration
switchgear served by two utility feeds provides needed reliability and redundancy. Enhanced
building electrical metering connected to the campus automation system is needed to collect and
compile building specific energy use data to better manage energy use.
Over the next four years, a new student union, a new chiller, and a new science lab building will
be constructed on the campus and the current distribution system lacks the capacity to provide an
uninterrupted power supply to these new structures.

PROJECT REQUEST: Request the following:
a) Approve the Design Report; and
b) Authority to construct the Alumni Park project for an estimated total cost of
$8,000,000 Gift Funds.
PROJECT NUMBER: 13L1B
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will create a 1.6 acre green space known as Alumni Park that will run from Langdon
St. north to the shore of Lake Mendota, east of the Memorial Union, and connect to the east edge
of the Below Alumni Center. The plaza area of the park will include alumni recognition spaces,
landscape plantings, seating and gathering areas, and iconic University images.
Loading dock operations for the Memorial Union, Red Gym, and Pyle Center will be relocated
below grade – beneath a portion of what is currently Lot 1. The design and construction of
Alumni Park, the loading dock, and proposed adjacent program space must be completed
concurrently to integrate the systems and landscape features.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The 2005 Campus Master Plan designated this area for redevelopment, calling for additional
green space at the Lot 1 and plaza development between the Red Gym and the Memorial Union.
In 2010, the Wisconsin Alumni Association approached UW-Madison with a proposal to
implement the master plan recommendation by creating a space to foster social activity and
celebrate the positive impact that the university and its graduates have made around the world.

1. Project Description:
This project will create a 1.6 acre green space known as Alumni Park that will run from Langdon St.
north to the shore of Lake Mendota, east of the Memorial Union, and connect to the east edge of the
Below Alumni Center. The plaza area of the park will include alumni recognition spaces, landscape
plantings, seating and gathering areas, and iconic University images.
Loading dock operations for the Memorial Union, Red Gym, and Pyle Center will be relocated below
grade – beneath a portion of what is currently Lot 1. The design and construction of Alumni Park, the
loading dock, and proposed adjacent program space must be completed concurrently to integrate the
systems and landscape features.
2. Authorized Budget and Funding Source:
This project was enumerated in 2011 Wisconsin Act 32 for $8,000,000 Gift Funds as the Alumni
Plaza project.

PROJECT NUMBER:
09K1K
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project is the second and final phase of a renovation to the Memorial Union. This
renovation will improve the building’s functionality, circulation, life safety, and service
functions.
Phase II will construct 26,599 GSF of new space and renovate 119,227 GSF of existing space in
the central and east wings of the Memorial Union. A majority of the work addresses the building
infrastructure, including installation of new fire protection/alarm systems, and a major upgrade/
replacement of all MEP systems. Work on the exterior envelop includes replacement of
deteriorated roofs, curtain walls, selective exterior masonry, and terra cotta. Food service venues
will be upgraded and replaced and a new service elevator will be installed. Hazardous materials
will be abated and life safety/security systems will be upgraded. Restroom and path of travel
improvements will be made to meet current ADA requirements.
The new space will consist of a small addition for mechanical, electrical, and life safety systems,
a new exit stair, and a new underground loading dock to serve the Memorial Union, Red Gym,
and Pyle Center. Finally, Phase II will renovate the Memorial Union Terrace, providing
improvements to meet ADA requirements, manage storm water, and upgrade site circulation and
lighting.
The additional $4,500,000 in Gift Funds will renovate the Rathskeller and servery, the Trophy
Room, Tripp Commons, and seven other meeting rooms in the east wing. It will also fund a
specialized system of soil retention required for the construction of the below-grade loading
dock.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
The 224,500 GSF Memorial Union was completed in 1928. The building welcomes more than
five million people a year, and is second only to the State Capitol in its number of out-of-town
visitors. More than 21,000 meetings and functions are held each year, ranging from student
groups to wedding receptions and large conferences. The Wisconsin Union Directorate also
produces more than 1,000 student led programs and events, in addition to the thousands of
Hoofer classes, trips, meetings, and boat use.
With no substantial renovation of infrastructure in these wings since the building was initially
constructed, the plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems are long past their usable life and
in need of replacement. The basic building systems are antiquated and not flexible enough to
meet the facility’s multi-purpose use requirements. Fire, life safety, and security systems fall
short of current standards.
Existing food service production facilities and back of house support facilities are either not
present in the building or contain deficiencies that negatively affect the Union’s quality of
service. The basement production kitchen is in need of upgrades and space reconfiguration.
Production storage areas are not close to the spaces they serve and the existing service elevator in
the east wing is undersized.

PROJECT REQUEST: Request the following:
a) Authority to accept a gift-in-kind of the Alumni Welcome and Conference Center
valued at $7,800,000; and
b) Authority to release $4,600,000 ($3,100,000 Gift Funds and $1,500,000 PR-Cash)
to the UW-Oshkosh Foundation.
PROJECT NUMBER: 12L1Q
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This request is to accept a gift-in-kind from the UW-Oshkosh Foundation. The gifted land and
newly constructed improvements will serve as the Alumni Welcome and Conference Center for
the UW-Oshkosh campus. The new facility includes meeting rooms and banquet facilities, and
will house several outreach functions including the UW-Oshkosh Foundation, Alumni Affairs,
the Business Success Center, and Conference and Event Services. In addition, a satellite
Admissions Office will be relocated to this new building.
The construction connected the structure to the campus sewer, water distribution lines, and
electric/telecommunications duct bank. The building’s functionality includes connectivity to the
campus network, telecommunications system, including voice over internet protocol capabilities,
wireless access, security cameras, and an emergency notifications/clock system.
The brick and stone building is compatible in design with the Student Recreation and Wellness
Center to the north and the Gruenhagen Conference Center to the east.
This request also seeks the release of $4.6 million to the UW-Oshkosh Foundation. The “gift
funds” are the remainder of the insurance settlement from the River Center flood discussed
below. These funds represent the amount the State agreed to pay for the construction of the new
facility. The building was constructed in compliance with Wis. Stat. s. 16.85 (12) regarding
buildings constructed for UWS.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
This building replaces the River Center which was built in 1967, and contained 51,596 GSF of
space on two levels. It was rendered unusable after a flooding incident in June 2008. In February
2012, the SBC authorized the use of $693,000 from the insurance settlement to demolish the
River Center. After much investigation regarding the damage to the River Center, it was
determined that a new building would create a signature front door to the campus and restore
conference room space lost in the flood. In addition, the ability to incorporate an alumni and
public presence with conferencing capabilities will serve the campus well in the future.

PROJECT REQUEST: Request the following:
a) Approve the Design Report; and
b) Authority to construct the Student Success Center Addition to Laurentide Hall for an
estimated total cost of $4,500,000 GFSB ($2,500,000 GFSB and $2,000,000 ExistingGFSB).
PROJECT NUMBER: 10B1X
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will construct a three-story 18,390 GSF addition to Laurentide Hall (formerly
Carlson Hall). The addition will house Campus Tutorial Services.
The first floor of the addition will include one Supplemental Instruction (SI) Computer lab, and
two Large Group SI labs; the second floor will include a Tutoring Center, Supplemental
Instruction Lab, work room and collaboration room; and the third floor will contain three Large
Group SI rooms, one computer lab, two collaboration rooms, an SI Lab, and the Director’s
Office.
The three-story addition will include two entrances one of which connects the addition to
Laurentide Hall, a separate elevator, and two stair wells servicing the addition. Separate
restrooms will be provided in the addition to accommodate students. The exterior enclosure is
designed to match the exterior of Laurentide Hall. Chilled water, hot water, electrical service,
and the fire protection systems will be extended from the existing building. The heating and
cooling system will be a stand-alone system with an indoor air-handling unit and VAV units for
auxiliary zone heating. Site work will include an extension of the existing pedestrian walkways,
parking lot modifications, landscaping, and connections to domestic water, sanitary, and storm
systems.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
Since the 1970s, Campus Tutorial Services has been housed in the basement of McCutchan Hall,
an old residence hall that was converted into office space. This location provides only 5,307 SF
for the entire tutoring program and it lacks the visibility, accessibility, air conditioning,
technology, and available space for the rapidly growing program.
Campus Tutorial Services offers academic assistance and enrichment for undergraduate and
graduate students at UW-Whitewater by utilizing a peer-driven, cooperative learning model.
There is no cost for using the services. This support increases the retention of freshman and
sophomores, and the ability to deliver tutoring services. Campus Tutorial Services supports
student success and increased graduation rates, and reinforces essential learning outcomes.
During the past four years, the program has seen a more than a 200% percent increase of tutors
employed and students served. In the fall of 2012, UW-Whitewater received a
UW System Growth Agenda for Wisconsin grant to help support the Pathways for Success
program, which will also utilize the Student Success Center.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Facility Maintenance and Repair
MIL – 14A2Z – Chemistry Building Loading Dock Drive Replacement ($506,800): This project
replaces the concrete loading dock service drive to the Chemistry Building. Project work
includes site preparation, demolition and removal of approximately 22,000 SF of reinforced
concrete pavement, repair and augmentation of underground storm water system as required,
installation of approximately 22,000 SF of new reinforced concrete pavement, and application of
new pavement markings and striping.
The loading dock service drive serving the Chemistry Building is in poor condition with
significant cracked pavement and heaved pavement sections in multiple locations. Previous
concrete pavement patching was completed, but those repairs are now also damaged and further
patching procedures are not cost effective.
Health, Safety, and Environmental Protection
MSN – 14A2M – Campus Arc Flash Hazard Analysis ($2,187,700):
This project surveys, provides analysis, and installs arc flash labeling for building electrical
equipment in UW-Madison facilities. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations require all persons working on energized electrical equipment to read equipment
labels and follow the safety guidelines included in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
70E. Project work includes providing engineering services required for an electrical arc flash
hazard analysis of approximately 13.5 million gross square feet of space in approximately 210
buildings on the UW-Madison campus, and approximately 305 off-campus buildings. Offcampus facility locations include the Arboretum, Trout Lake Research Station, Charmany Farm,
etc.
NFPA 70E requires facility owners to perform an arc flash hazard analysis prior to allowing a
worker to perform a task on energized equipment. The National Electrical Code (NEC)
mandates that a warning label must be placed on electrical equipment that may remain energized
during maintenance or repair. Equipment that needs to be labeled includes switchboards, panel
boards, control panels, and motor control centers. In order to print the label for each piece of
equipment, an analysis is needed to determine the thermal energy hazard possible from an arc
flash. OSHA requires that employers protect employees from workplace hazards. If OSHA is
called in following an incident, they will determine if compliance with NFPA 70E would have
prevented or lessened the injury and they may cite the employer for not using NFPA 70E to
protect their employees.
The effects of an electrical arcing fault can be devastating. The intense thermal energy can cause
severe burns in a fraction of a second to faculty, staff, and students who are exposed to live
electrical equipment. Other considerations include loss of life, potential litigation fees, loss of
process and research, potential fines, and escalation of insurance premiums. A hazardous arc
flash can occur in any electrical device, regardless of voltage, in which the energy is high enough
to sustain an arc.
Utility Repair and Renovation
GBY – 13H1P – Soccer Field Lighting Replacement ($358,000):
This project replaces the structurally compromised field lighting system with a new system that
is more energy efficient and provides adequate illumination levels on the soccer field. Project
work includes replacement of six lighting poles, forty-eight sports lighting fixtures, the
associated underground wiring, and lighting controls. The new lighting system will provide a
minimum of 50 foot-candles on the playing field as recommended by the Illuminating
Engineering Society of North America guidelines. The new system will provide required
illumination with minimum energy demand while minimizing light trespass and light pollution.
The project will also install a field sound system capable of providing adequate audio signal
level for events. Once completed, the lighting system will meet NCAA Division 1 standards.
In May 2013, the six 1968 vintage wooden lighting poles were inspected to determine their
structural integrity. The inspection report certified that three of the poles were structurally
compromised, due to severe longitudinal cracking and exterior rotting around the bases. The
condition of these poles presents a significant danger and must be replaced. The other three
poles were certified to be sound, but the inspection report recommended these poles should be
inspected more frequently due to their age and exterior characteristics. The university
determined that it would be best to remove the poles prior to the fall sports season, with the
understanding that games would need to be played during daylight hours. The six poles have
been removed.
MSN – 13L2L – Camp Randall Information Technology Infrastructure Upgrade ($4,988,000):
This project will construct the structured cabling and power infrastructure necessary to support
full Wi-Fi and video screen distribution throughout the fan areas of Camp Randall stadium,
including seating bowls, boxes, and concourses. The project includes the installation of wire,
conduit, and electric power sources. A study of wireless access point density and coverage was
completed to confirm the number and placement of wireless access points. This project will
construct five telecommunications intermediate distribution frame (IDF) rooms and modestly
upgrade all other exiting IDF rooms to accommodate the increased cabling. The structured
cabling will tie into the video distribution and media management that will be located in the Kohl
Center.
UW-Madison is issuing a separate Request for Proposals to procure all the necessary end- use
electronic components including the Wi-Fi connectors and video equipment to implement this
upgrade.
This upgrade will allow the UW-Madison Division of Intercollegiate Athletics to greatly
improve wireless coverage for all fan areas, and provide an improved and unique fan experience
using modern technology. The expanded capabilities will allow official messaging, application
development, and video/test distribution to be sent to fans’ smart phones and video monitors
throughout the stadium’s concourses and suites. This upgrade is similar to those being made by
other conferences across the country to address an industry challenge of improving game day
experiences for fans within stadiums.
MSN – 13K2J – Langdon Street Utility Renovation ($1,481,200):
This project renovates central campus utilities along Langdon St. between the Memorial Union
and the Memorial Library. The project will replace chilled water supply and return piping from
just east of the take-off to the Red Gym to the Memorial Library. Domestic water piping will be
replaced from an existing valve located near the west wing of the Memorial Union to the Pyle
Center. A new accessible tunnel will be constructed to replace a brick utility tunnel to hold high
pressure steam pumped condensate return, compressed air, and domestic water for the Library
Mall fountain. Due to site restrictions, this work will require pipe boring.
None of the utility work included in this project is directly related to Phase II of the Memorial
Union Renovation or Alumni Park projects. However, the proximity of these utilities could cause
significant disruption to the Memorial Union operations without this renovation. The arched
brick utility tunnel, which is approximately 70 years old, is a safety concern because it is both
difficult and dangerous to access. Due to the proximity of the tunnel to Lake Mendota,
significant leaking of water occurs into the tunnel after rain events or during times of high water
level of the lake. The chilled water piping was installed in the mid-1960s and is some of the
oldest chilled water piping on campus. Piping of this vintage has failed in several locations
including near Lathrop Hall and in front of the Memorial Union. Piping failures result in
significant localized flooding and the loss of chilled water system pressure at the utility plants
can impact the ability to provide cooling to all campus facilities.
Approximately two-thirds of the domestic water piping included in this project was installed in
1894. When the Pyle Center was constructed in 1954, the remainder of the water piping
included in this project was installed. This piping is at or beyond its useful life and should be
replaced.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
UWS and DFD continue to work with each institution to develop a comprehensive campus
physical development plan, including infrastructure maintenance planning. Submitted All Agency
project proposals, infrastructure planning issues, and the UW All Agency funding targets set by
DFD are thoroughly reviewed and considered. This request represents high priority UWS
infrastructure maintenance, repair, renovation, and upgrade needs and focuses on existing facilities
and utilities, targets the known maintenance needs, and addresses outstanding health and safety
issues. Where possible, similar work throughout a single facility or across multiple facilities has
been combined into a single request to provide more efficient project management and project
execution.
