Site Selection forHancher, Voxman, Clapp Replacement Facilities Public Forum July 9, 2009
HVC Building Program Requirements Used in the Site Selection Process • Existing HVC Building: 296,924 gsf • Proposed Base Program for HVC Replacement 315,675 gsf • Proposed Base Program Plus Possible Upgrades 418,881 gsf
HVC Parking Program Requirements Used in the Site Selection Process • Existing HVC area parking serving HVC and Theatre Building 1018 spaces • Proposed HVC and Theatre Building parking 1300 spaces
Site Selection Assumptions • The HVC building program requirement for site testing purposes will be 418,881 gsf, and parking demand will be 1300 spaces • Hancher, Voxman and Clapp should be located together as a single complex on a single site • The School of Music should be within reasonable walking distance of the undergraduate classroom core of the campus • Project should be a model for sustainable design strategies

Evaluation of Alternative Sites for HVC Replacement Facilities Sites with Critical Flaws Site 2: lack of proximate parking Site 3: inadequate size; flood exposure; inadequate parking Site 4: flood exposure at Ralston Creek 100 yr floodplain; inadequate parking Site 5: inadequate size Site 7: inadequate parking; flood exposure Site 8: inadequate parking; utilities not available
Viable Site Options Park Road West site Clinton Street Burlington Street East site
ADVANTAGES Site is owned by University Adequate land area Above 500 year flood plus two feet elevation Land available for possible geothermal well fields Site is served by CAMBUS Prominent visibility of Hancher from Dubuque St. and Park Rd. Continues the historic association of HVC with the Arts Campus and Iowa River ISSUES Distance from the undergraduate classroom core, student services, and related Arts Campus facilities Functional and visual impacts on Levitt Center Will require building new parking spaces to make up for those displaced by new buildings Parking will be distant from the Hancher front door because of site shape constraints Impacts on river park green space Preliminary West Site Evaluation
ADVANTAGES Close to undergraduate classroom core, student services and support functions in downtown Facilitates a pedestrian oriented campus Adequate land area Above 500 year flood plus 2 feet elevation Least cost scenario for utilities Tangible contribution to vibrancy of the east campus and downtown Served by City transit and CAMBUS ISSUES Requires acquisition of land Distant from other arts programs located on the Arts Campus May require parking coordination with City ramps, or increase of University parking supply on Lot 11 Displacement of the Engineering Research Building Preliminary East Site Evaluation
Studio Arts Facility Site Selection Program Requirement: 86,000 gsf to 116,873 gsf Adjacency Need: Close proximity to Art Building West
River Street Art Building West Viable Sites for Studio Arts Facility
