FACILITIES REUTILIZATION PLAN (FREUP)
ELLIS HALL/HILL HALL
Improvement to existing academic facilities continues to be the theme of the
Facilities Reutilization Plan. Ellis Hall, built in 1959, houses the
Music Department. Renovations to the building will include replacement
of the exterior curtain wall with energy efficient materials, upgrade of
electrical and mechanical systems with concentration of soundproofing and
environmental control for the delicate musical instruments. Hill Hall, built
in 1924 houses the College of Education and the Department of Psychology.
Renovation will improve access and provide modernization of the building.
Renovation will include electrical and mechanical systems upgrades and
improvements to lab, office and classroom space.
OZARKS HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCE CENTER
This new facility, located on the west mall between Kemper Hall and Glass
Hall, will be an interdisciplinary science center for conducting research
and providing undergraduate and graduate educational programs that address
health and life science issues. Its applied research and educational
programs will be guided by regional and state needs, and the work within the
Center will involve collaborations with education, healthcare, business,
community service, and governmental organizations. The research made
possible by this facility is in concert with the public affairs mission of
Missouri State University.
McDONALD HALL
McDonald Hall, built in 1940, houses the Kinesiology Department.
Renovation will include construction of a redesigned interior for current
program needs and complete electrical and mechanical system upgrades.
Renovation will provide necessary improvements and allow for consolidation
of academic programs to the core of campus.
CARRINGTON HALL
This campus landmark, built in 1908, is the Missouri State University
central administration building. It is frequented by all students,
faculty, staff and visitors to the campus. Renovations in Carrington
Hall will include reallocation of internal spaces in order to better meet
current and future needs. Infrastructure upgrades will include HVAC,
plumbing, fire suppression and electrical system improvements.
GLASS HALL RENOVATION AND ADDITION
The College of Business has outgrown the existing facilities within Glass
Hall. Additional spaces along with renovations of the existing
building are needed to keep the College current and competitive. A new
main entrance is needed for this building that will provide a sense of place
for the students, faculty and alumni of the College. New interior
finishes are needed to replace the old, worn-out, outdated materials.
Improvements to common areas, including a food court, are planned to enhance
the student experience. A Student Success Center Addition is planned
to house the college's career center, advising, corporate recruiter space
and a board room.
IDEA COMMONS
IDEA Commons is a geographic area in downtown Springfield that will include
locations for spin-off commercialization of technologies and University
programs that will create an environment to generate creativity, innovation
and entrepreneurship for the benefit of the Springfield region. IDEA Commons
is Missouri State University's vision and commitment to create a new type of
urban research park that is blended with residential, retail and
entertainment facilities, and supported by various university programs. This
unique project will bring together Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, and
Arts (IDEA) and is an example of how the University continues to be engaged
in promoting the community's livability and economic success.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY BUILDING
This new facility is designed to provide a great first impression for
prospective College of Health and Human Services students and faculty and to
encourage multi-disciplinary interaction. The building will include a
welcoming lobby, multi-disciplinary health clinic, skills laboratories,
offices, classrooms, and group study spaces for the Occupational Therapy,
Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, and Nurse Anesthesia programs.
The facility will also include mannequin simulation labs for the Nursing and
Nurse Anesthesia programs.
SUNVILLA TOWER
Renovation of Sunvilla Tower will include the installation of life safety
systems into the facility to allow the apartment kitchens to be put back
into use. A fire suppression system will be installed allowing for
modifications to the student rooms. The kitchens will be renovated
allowing for a complete working kitchen in each apartment. New
interior finishes will be provided to update the look of the facility.
The mechanical and electrical systems will be upgraded to provide better
comfort within the building and to meet the increased electrical needs
dictated by the multiple use of electronic devices by the students.
Sunvilla Tower will be added to the central chilled water loop to provide
for an efficient way to cool the facility. At the west end of the
property where Sunvilla is located, a new FEMA rated storm shelter will be
constructed to provide a safe zone for students and the surrounding
community in the event of severe weather.
The transitway will accommodate multiple modes of transportation and will
include a dedicated shuttle vehicle roadway, bicycle pathways, and
pedestrian walkways. The transitway is envisioned as a heavily
landscaped corridor that will further enhance the beauty of the campus and
unify the east and west portions of campus, leading to a pedestrian and bike
friendly campus. The design will build upon standards that the
University has developed for other related improvements currently on our
campus and continue to tie the entire transit system into a unified whole.
WELCOME CENTER
This landmark building will offer cutting edge technology to draw the
interest of today's students. Acting as a gateway to campus, Phase l
of this facility will offer comfortable lobby/reception area, offices,
conference room, and an auditorium. The facility is designed to
reinforce its sense of place on the Missouri State University campus.
