The College of Technology Building at South Campus
The University of Montana’s College of Technology is seeking approval and funding to build a new facility that provides the space needed for students enrolled in the Departments of Applied Computing and Electronics, Business Technology, College Transfer, and Health Professions Programs. The Departments represent a total of 35 programs.
The University of Montana College of Technology’s existing facilities consist of two campuses in Missoula. The east campus includes the Administrative Building (43,664 gsf), Health and Business Building (26,656 gsf), temporary office trailers (3,536 gsf), as well as two temporary trailers (1,740 gsf) that house nursing faculty offices and classrooms. The west campus houses our Trade and Technology buildings (64,752 gsf).
The proposed building project addresses the needs and requirements of the east campus facility only. The permanent structures on the east campus are 35 years old and are woefully unsuited to the needs of our current programs. The structures provide inadequate space for faculty offices, student services, classrooms, conference rooms, library, student commons, bookstore, counseling, study, and instructional laboratories. If approved, the building project would provide the necessary funding to construct a new facility of approximately 100,000 gsf on a new south campus in Missoula that would address our needs for both current and new programs.
Mark Headly (StudioFORMA Architects, Bozeman Montana) has prepared a schematic design package including the simulated fly-though of the proposed facility.
