Planning contextUWMbeganasnormalschoolin1885inalocationjustwestofdowntown,but in1909movedtothepresent locationatdownerandkenwood.duringthistime,theUniversityofWisconsinbegan toofferclasses inMilwaukee,a rolethattheextensiondivisiontookoverin1920.Thenormalschools evolved into four-year state colleges between1927and1951,and in1956,UWMbecamethesecondinstitutiontobecomepartoftheUniversityofWisconsin.
Thefirstofficialplanningefforttookplacein1960,markingthebeginningof aperiodof expansionas theUniversitybought first the Milwaukee-downer seminary site, andthen the Milwaukee-downer College buildings, and theMilwaukee University school campus. at the time, theUniversityhadanenrollmentofapproximately7,000stu-dents,withaprojectedenrollmentof20,000by1975.By1970,however,thecampushadalreadyreachedanenroll-mentofnearly21,000students.
in1970,thefirmofCaudill-rowlett-scottwascontractedbythestateBureauofFacilitiesManagementtodevelopamasterplanfortheMilwaukeecampus,whichwascom-pletedin1972.
The1972CampusMasterplanhasnotbeenupdated,norhas another campus master plan been completed sincethattime.ThisMasterplanthereforemarksthefirstinover30 years, and will provide the framework for future aca-demic,physical,andcapitalplanningprocesses.
(source: Campus Physical Development Plan, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, July 2006)
the Planning Process—guidance and consultationMaster planning for UWM commenced in april 2008under the guidance of the executive leadership Team,the Campus planning steering Committee, the Campusplanning Coordinating Committee, the academicsubcommittees, and the planning support Team. These
Universityteamsworked incooperationwiththeconsult-ingcollaborativeofhammel,green,andabrahamson,inc.(hga)(Milwaukee,Wisconsin)andsasakiassociates,inc.(Watertown, Massachusetts) to develop the comprehen-sivemasterplan.Foralistingofallmembersoftheplan-ningteam,pleaseseetheacknowledgements.
The Master planning process was highly inclusive andtransparent,designedtoprovidedeliberateandinteractiveengagement with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukeecampus community, the broader Milwaukee communityand partners, and other local and state representatives.The process included on-campus work sessions of oneto threedays induration,scheduledevery4 to6weeksthroughout the 20-month process. Follow-up meetingsand web-based conferences were held, particularly dur-ingmonthswhenworksessionswerenotscheduled.Thedevelopmentof themasterplan included fourphasesofwork:
Phase a: observations and assessmentsphaseaincludedabroadinvestigationtorecordexistingsiteconditionsoftheUWMcampusesincludingarchitec-turalandlandscapecharacter,circulationpatterns,existingnaturalsystems,spaceuse,andutilitiesandinfrastructure.phase a also included interviews with members of theUWMfaculty,staff,andbroadercampuscommunity,localgovernmentofficials,neighborhoodandbusinessgroupsandotherstoconfirmtheacademic,researchdrivers,andprogrammaticneeds.Theoutcomeofthesemeetingswasto establish the principles, goals, and objectives for thestudy,andtoascertainthekeyissuestobeaddressedinthemasterplan.
Phase B: Principles and conceptual PlanThe principles and Concept plan phases examined themost favorable options for near-term and long-termUWM development across a range of potential sites.The objective for this phase was to refine the devel-opment patterns and site/area/precinct characteris-tics to create the framework for more detailed studiesandplans.

driVer three: research areas and PartnershiPsin response toUWM’smissionstatementandthestate’sgoal to foster economic growth, a vision for UWM hasbeen proposed by the Chancellor. Components of thisvisionincludeprovidingadequatespacetoaccommodateplanned growth and establishing partnerships with otherinstitutionsandbusinesseswhosemissionscomplementand reinforce those of UWM. The vision focuses poten-tial on biomedical sciences, automation, freshwater, andhealthcare focusingonUWM’sresearchgrowth in theseareas.
individualsfromeveryschoolandcollegewithinUWMareengaged in research at different levels thereby requiringvarying facilities and other accommodations. The visionforresearchatUWMfocusesoncontinuingtobuildupontheresearchthatalreadyoccurs,andgrowinginfourkeyareas identified by the University: healthcare, freshwater,biomedical engineering, and advanced manufacturing.Theseresearchfocusareasrequireeffectivepartnershipsto enhance and advance the activities of the University.duetothecollaborativenatureof theproposedresearchbetweentheUniversityandpartners,muchofthisactivitywilltakeplaceonsitesotherthanthekenwoodcampus.
health scienceshealthcare research isclosely tied toexistingUWMpro-gramsintheCollegesofnursingandhealthsciences,as

Freshwater Fiveofthetoptennationalcompaniesfocusedontheman-ufacturinganddevelopmentofwaterrelatedproductsarebasedinMilwaukee,asare120water-relatedcompaniesinthesoutheastWisconsinarea.Thepresenceofthesebusi-nesspartnersandMilwaukee’slocationonlakeMichiganresults in several strategic and locational advantages forwater-relatedresearchatUWM,includingthegreatlakesresearchFacility (glrF).glrF is theonlymajoraquaticresearchinstituteonlakeMichigan.Theinstitute’smissionis toservecity,state,national,and international interestsrelatedtotheeducation,research,andoutreachonaquat-icsissues.Thetransitionofthisentityfromaresearchinsti-tute to a school will both formalize and expand glrF’scontributiontotheregion.
The region has experienced growing momentum for thedevelopment of freshwater technology and policy inMilwaukee.organizationssuchas theWaterCouncil areworking in partnership with UWM to leverage existingstrengthsandestablishMilwaukeeasthefreshwaterhub.
Throughpartnershipswithveolia,pentair, theMilwaukee7, Badger Meter, and others, research endeavors mayinclude the detection and removal of pharmaceuticals inthewatersupply,stormwaterpollution,nutrient research,andclimatechange.
Biomedical engineeringBiomedicalengineering isapotentialareaofresearchforUWMgiventheregionalpartnershipopportunities,includ-ing ge healthcare and others in collaboration with theBiomedical Technology alliance.
